@Liza J. That procrastination makes a lot of sense then, in context! That sounds incredibly painful... I would want to avoid it too... I am sure there is a way through it, but not without holding the pain. But it will be worth it when you get to the other side.

I think in the past and this may continue to happen - people see my limitations and see this as a vulnerability they can exploit. I may be especially prone to this because I had a narcissistic mother who displayed vampiric mothering on me where she preyed on me to feed her ego in various ways. I notice I am increasingly hypervigilent about whether or not people are trying to take advantage of me. I did have one very toxic friend a few years ago who had all of these expectations for me without the need to reciprocate and that was like cartoonishly one sided. It took me a while to see how one sided it was but once I did I could not unsee it and I let that friendship go.
I'm doing the YouTube! And you?
As you have all very kindly joined this group as testers, I really, really appreciate your patience while I figure this out 🙏 I know you can ALL relate to having an amazing idea (or a million) and then researching, and starting and then... THE FEAR sets in! That's where I am at right now, the fear of fucking up, the fear or failing, the FEAR of EVERYTHING that could go wrong. The one thing I have been busy with is a YouTube channel.... https://www.youtube.com/@SelfSoothingSoundsASMR I'm figuring out how to pivot as a freelancer/consultant and monetise my design/creative skills (plus leverage AI). This is channel is for neurodivergent people. I've created some ASMR shorts (personally not a huge fan of them, but they are popular and bring in viewers) as well as long form sleepy music/sounds/ambient noise etc. For now I'm getting views up and getting subscribers in order to get to the next level, but am keen to add all sorts of ND support and teachings. I've learnt a LOT about creating videos (AI prompting and editing sound/visuals/exporting), keywords/ titles/descriptions/thumbnails/optimisation etc. So I'm sharing this mini win with you. I have been productive, I have learnt, I have failed and failed again and again until I figured it out and it's still not perfect. And that's ok! If you have any YouTube/AI video related questions please feel free to ask here and I'll help where I can :) I'd love to hear how YOU are doing. With anything! What are you keen to do/learn/start/deep dive into next? No pressure remember :) xx

I forgot how ESSENTIAL IT IS FOR ME TO LISTEN TO THESE WEBINARS - I listened to them on my way to work when I was on my late 20’s and that was one of the most productive stable times of my life. Then the podcast site crashed and I never got back to it. There is so much gold in these. I’m 42 now and trying to resurrect that habit! Also, one thing that has held me back in the past- drinking, even social drinking in moderation messes with my dopamine pathways so I don’t drink at all now. Anyone else?
What do you need to be productive?
I’ve been out of town and have to go to the pharmacy to pick up medication. I feel like without meds and exercise I am the most unproductive person on the planet. What about everyone else?

😬 Say hi if you want to, no pressure! Promise not to go round the room and ask you to tell us a bit about yourselves... 🫠 Just keen to say a hello and assure you this is an entertaining, kind, yet oddly productive place for those of us who need encouragement and motivation! Still figuring this all out, so thanks for helping me!!! xe

@Liza J. Thank you. I am going to rollerblade at the beach or do a workout after my dentist appointment. That will really help. How is it going narrowing your focus with the AI stuff?

Okay I had a session with my finance person/friend/business coach and I realized my lack of self trust is holding me back.
