A wild experiment in trust!
I was trying to force myself to focus.
To finish the mini course.
To “be productive", even though I had a sick kid at home.
To act like everything’s normal……while the world is literally on fire. 😢
I kept yanking myself back to the task.....because that’s what I should be doing.
But something in me kept tugging away.
I was so distracted and I couldn't let it go.
After two hours of wrestling with it, I gave in.
I did the thing that wouldn't leave me alone.
And honestly?
The thing that “distracted” me… ended up being exactly what I needed.
✨ It deepened my clarity.
✨ Helped me anchor my direction.
✨ Made the rest of my day make sense.
That off-path moment? It WAS the path.
It’s wild how a part of me knew…And yet, I chose to distrust that wisdom, that pull, that guidance.
What I thought was just me “ADHD-ing hard” today…
Was actually the exact intelligence I needed most.
Of course it was. 🔥
This is how shame operates. It disconnects you from trusting yourself.
What are we ignoring, dismissing, denying in ourselves that’s screaming for attention?
👇 I’d love to hear, when was the last time your inner detour turned out to be exactly what you needed? What unexpected path revealed something real or important for you?
