It feels like there's always something to improve, or think about, or plan, or change, or update, or implement and it can really stress me out. Luckily I just finished a course in college on stress management and so I thought I'd share some of the insights and some of the things that I have found that can help.

God I love metaphors! They make everything so clear to me. This week I've been riddled with extra helpings of ruminating thoughts, so what better time to talk about.

Today I go into what I do to get on the other end of my ruminatings, my intrusive thoughts...when I get stuck inside my head and can't seem to pull away.

What do you do to get on the other end of your ruminating thoughts?

Here's the link to my No Haircut Healthy Lifestyle Change pictures.

We get all excited about doing a thing, a project, a goal, and at the first sign of tension, we quit. Sometimes that's just the natural order of things for us. But what if it's actually something we'd like to keep doing? What then? Let's talk about that.

We know what to do. We know how to do it.  We even know why we aren't doing it...executive function, ADHD, depression, etc etc. So what is the art of doing a thing?!

Today I am exploring one option that works for me. Here are the steps:

1. What is the thing you are going to do?
2. What does doing that thing look like?
3. How long do you wish to dedicate to it?
4. What is stopping you from doing the thing right now?
5. When you think about doing the thing right now, how do you feel?
6. What will happen if you do the thing right now? How will you feel?
7. What is the first physical activity in doing this thing?

Set your timer for the length of time that you picked in question 3 and just do the physical activity from #7. Then quit. Or keep going.

Hope it helps!

Adults with ADHD tend to have lower levels of self-compassion. Wonder why?! Today I talk about the bajillion things I can feel shame about and I offer a couple suggestions on things that work for me in combatting the tsunami of shame.

FUN!

Let's talk about Christmas...but more importantly, what comes AFTER Christmas.
