  • Surface level people just can't go there (you were never too much)

    It took me a long time to realise that not every rejection was anout me.


    Especially as a neurodiverse person, you easily think you're too much or not enough...or both, yet I now see how so often it's actually the other person that's unable to meet you at the level of depth you have.


    For those of us who have found this type of situation, it's a huge release to realise it was never actually something bad about you.


    I also touch on why I think what we assume are our faults can actually be good things in that way too.

  • Stop seeking external validation!

    Isn't it time we all stopped seeking validation and approval from outside of ourselves and iust doubled down on validating ourselves?


    The way social media has influenced us nowadays makes this even more important. Do your own thing and love yourself. The rest will figure itself out accordingly.

  • Decision Paralysis (and the tip I found that helps!)

    Those moments when you're literally stuck trying to make a decision and you can't decide either way so you stress out and freeze up are the worst.


    Often we go over and over things and can't figure out what is our mind and what is our gut...but this time I found a way of noticing which made things so much easier.

  • Impulses, Impulses, Impulses!

    This time I'm talking about another recent experience which links to the previous episode aswell, where something crept up on me and it was also an impulsive thought.


    So often with ADHD we are drawn to impulsive decisions and potentially addictions of various kinds, and it can be really easy to get swept up in them, even when you know it's a thing.


    My experience here again surprised me, but thankfully I was able to find a workaround which helped.

  • Oh, THAT'S what's also affecting me!

    The podcast returns with my sudden evening realisation of what is also affecting my energy and nervous system at the mokent.


    We often dont realise how the thngs we comsume in various ways affect us and our nervous systems, or the impact our nervous system actually has on our health & wellbeing.


    The latter I'll talk about in more detail soon but for the moment, here are my current thoughts and experiences!

  • Back again, but so is burnout!

    Join me for a chat about what I've been up to with content recently, dealing with burnout again and touching on my experience and thoughts about whether you're doing something because you're authentically passionate about it or you're only doing it to get something out of it.

  • An update on my content...
    Recently I've been more focused on making YouTube Shorts. I likely will return to this podcast too, but at the moment I'm making more content there. If you're interested my channel is @ColRothwell on there.

  • Sticking With Health & Fitness Habits
    If you find it really hard to keep up a healthy exercise and/or diet routine then you may be struggling with the key elements of why you do them. In this episode I describe what I believe are the biggest two game changing factors for long term improvement and mental resilience when it comes to healthy routines and how the same elements apply to all changes we make in ourselves.

  • It's Time To Choose You
    Right now is a key time for putting focus onto choosing yourself and accepting where you're allowing unhealthy relationships to deplete you before they damage your self worth any more. Face those truths, accept them and then take the action to let them go. Let them go...so you can heal and grow.

  • Taking Time Out For You and Trusting Yourself
    As great as it is to learn and grow in various ways, we need to take time for ourselves just to switch off and rest. We also need to remind ourselves how well we've done and get comfortable with where we are now rather than always trying to push on ahead. Also, try to remember that the answers we seek are very rarely found in or from others...the vast majority of them lay deep in ourselves, but we have to take the time to allow ourselves to find them and listen to them naturally.

Let's talk about finding and being your true self. Being fully conscious and truly living the full experience rather than walking around unconsciously and merely existing on autopilot in this world.
