Cohort 3: Closing Cirlce is happening in 14 hours
How do you handle family who think ADHD is just an excuse?
I'd love to hear from people who've been here. My kids don't really believe ADHD is a real thing. When my brain shuts down, or I can't get something done, the message I get is basically "you're being lazy, just push through." I know I'm not lazy. I know what's actually happening in my brain, but hearing it from your own kids hits in a place that just doesn't feel good at all. I've tried to explain it to them, and I'm starting to think maybe explaining isn't the answer...but I don't really know what is. So I'm asking: how have you handled this with family members who don't get it? Did anyone ever come around? Did you find a way to stop letting their judgment land so hard? Did you give up trying to convince them and just focus on your own work? I'd love to know what worked and what didn't.
A Simple Question ๐Ÿ’™
Have you ever noticed what happens to your tinnitus when you slow down and take a few deep breaths? Not because the sound disappears. But because you change. Your shoulders relax. Your body softens. Your nervous system gets the message that you're safe. I've noticed that on stressful days, tinnitus often feels bigger, louder, and more demanding. But when I pause, breathe, and give my nervous system a chance to settle, the sound often takes up less space in my awareness. ๐Ÿค Breathwork may not magically remove tinnitus, but it can change how we experience it. I'm curious... ๐Ÿ’ฌ Have you noticed any changes in your tinnitus after breathwork, meditation, or intentional breathing? Let's learn from each other's experiences. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ
There is a grief hidden in and amongst my clutter
Hello everyone xx I've been trying to clear clutter from my house lately and what I'm discovering is that some clutter isn't really clutter at all. It's old versions of ourselves. Projects we once cared about. Dreams we thought we'd pursue. Hobbies we no longer have time for. Plans that never quite unfolded the way we imagined. Sometimes letting go of an object feels easy but letting go of the story attached to it is harder. I've realised there is quite a lot of grief hidden amongst my clutter, which makes the task so much harder. Have you ever found that when you're clearing a space, you're also letting go of a version of yourself? How do you do it?
Baby Steps - Weebles wobble but they don't fall down
I was working on my check in, and the thought came to be about taking baby steps, so I added them. But that got be thinking more about that. Baby's try to walk by crawling and then standing. They fall standing. Then the start with the first steps. The go, and drop to the ground. What do they do? Sometimes with assistance, they get back up and keep walking. Wobbling along the way. There could be a bad day for us. We're taking the baby steps. We wobble. If we fall, get back up. That is truly what baby steps represetnts....to me. Get up, go forward. If we fall, we get back up and walk a little more. Soon, the wobbling will become less noticible to you and others. Not because of a mask of protection, but you're making progress. That's why we are here! Does this gif make sense as to how life is thrown at us. It was used as cushion. Other than a fear of bean bag chairs, the baby got back up and started walking. We can too! We just have to remind ourselves of that. People will say things that hurt. Baby steps as to your reply. I probably could keep going, but I won't. Have a good day/afternoon/evening/sleep!
