Two weeks ago I had something happen that has rocked my world, I don’t want to go into what happened but with a lot of reflection, it’s a bitter pill to swallow, laced with heartbreak.
What is standing out to me is my response & how that has changed compared to the past. The pre-diagnosis me would’ve grabbed hold of & believed the things that were said, the negatives, taken all of the blame & spiralled in probably a very destructive way, I haven’t this time!
I’m recognising my body wants to stop & hide away-that’ll be autism seeking safety, instead I’m showing myself kindness, giving myself the space to process, writing & clearing it out of my head, channeling the energy into decluttering, all the tasks I’ve been putting off, throwing myself into new opportunities & looking after myself. Revisiting the AI report helped massively, helping me understand my triggers/patterns & why I would’ve responded differently in the past.
It may not sound alot but it’s a huge win for me & my brain, letting go of the old patterns & beliefs that held me back!🥳
