Time is our most precious commodity.  We trade it for all sorts of things from coffee with friends to working hours and household chores.  Once it is gone we can never get it back.  Time is a non-renewable resource.

Often in Late Identified Life we find ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually exhausted and we often attribute this to a lifetime of masking and camouflaging.  These are most definitely contributors, but not the entire picture.

How often have you found yourself in one of these situations:

-You are rushing from one place to another to get it all done, you know that “to do list”

-You feel like you are doing it all and no one else is helping or even cares

-You reach a point you get so overwhelmed and exhausted you lose your cool and yell at those you love for the smallest things that normally wouldn’t bother you

-You feel agitated, short tempered and often just plain pissed for what feels like no specific reason, it is just everything

The one thing all of these feelings, experiences and situations have in common is a Time Boundary has either not been set or has been breached.

When I ask coaching clients, “Were boundaries discussed in your home growing up?”  The answer is usually a laugh or look of shock followed by, “No, what boundaries?” (FYI, this was my answer in the beginning)

So my question to you is this….How are you setting Time Boundaries to effectively manage how you spend your time, who you spend your time with and what you do with your time both personally and professionally? And most importantly can you identify where your time is being breached by others by you?

If you aren’t sure about the answers to these questions that is TOTALLY OK because I didn’t either in the beginning.

Join the Coaching Cafe Academy team of Ali Arena and Carole Jean Whittington for a 90 minute workshop on Time Boundaries where you will learn:

-What a Time Boundary is

-How to identify where Time Boundaries are being breached in your life right now

-How to craft your own Time Boundary

-AND the most important part How to Communicate and Share your Time Boundaries with others

Learn where the hidden boundary busters are in the 7 boundary areas including Sexual and Time boundary busters. (This gets juicy especially at the end during Q&A)  These hidden boundaries contribute to burnout, meltdown and shutdown.

***Don’t miss the poll opportunity to add your voice to the conversation.  We will be talking about the area that you guys vote for that has the most hidden boundary busters in an upcoming live.

Join the Coaching Cafe Academy Team of Ali Arena and Carole Jean Whittington as we go through these 7 areas and highlight a hidden boundary you may be experiencing but weren’t quite able to put your finger on until now.

Join the Coaching Cafe Academy team on Thursday, February 10th at 2:30 EDT for a 90 minute workshop on Time Boundaries where you will learn:

-What a Time Boundary is

-How to identify where Time Boundaries are being breached in your life right now

-How to craft your own Time Boundary

-AND the most important part How to Communicate and Share your Time Boundaries with others

Sensory needs, stimming, personal time, together time, alexithymia, feelings & emotions, chores and expectations are all impacted and change when we are in Autistic or ADHD Burnout.  Those areas directly influence our relationships both with others and with ourselves.  Join Ali Arena and Carole Jean Whittington, the creators of The Communication EcoSystem for NeuroDistinct humans, in a discussion about the accommodations many of us need and don’t often recognize when we are in burnout including when to sprint and when to marathon and asking if we feel our needs are greater than others and how that may impact what we ask for in our lives.

One of the reasons why most Late Identified Autistics are struggling to identify emotions and not able to easily put words to all the feelings and often the simultaneous experience of feeling nothing is due to something called Alexithymia.

Often autistics with alexithymia are not sure what to do or how to get to the root or word of a feeling and this can often lead to overwhelm, shutdown and autistic burnout because this can use great amounts of energy to not know how to identify and communicate how you are feeling to yourself and to others.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to connect the feelings in our body to the emotions in our minds, how we can better identify them, and meet a firefly named Gem who will speak to your heart and will help you begin a path to easier connection to your emotions through her adventures & story.  I am joined today by master storyteller and author of the Gem's Island Adventure series, Katie Soy. So if this interests you please join us for this conversation.

******* I am excited to share the new feature on SPOTIFY with our Fans today, this episode is now available in its video version on the Spotify podcast platform along with additional POLL features. So go check it out and add your response to today's episode poll.  I look forward to hearing from you my friend.************

One of the reasons why most BURNED OUT AUTISTICS are stuck with SELF-CARE and not seeing BURNOUT RECOVERY is they are NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OR FEEL TOO TIRED AND OVERWHELMED TO EVEN DO ANYTHING and before you know it you have SLIPPED DEEPER INTO THE BURNOUT CYCLE LOOP OF DEATH.

In this episode, what we’re going to talk about is how to get rid of those problems and create a SIMPLE AND ACTIONABLE PLAN EVEN IF YOU ARE IN BURNOUT RIGHT NOW that WILL GIVE YOU A PLACE TO GET CALM AND QUIET, A PLACE TO RESTORE YOUR ENERGY AND EVEN RESTORE YOUR SOUL.    I am willing to bet that you don’t have a SELF CARE PLAN FROM THE INSIDE OUT THAT INCLUDES NANO VACATIONS AS PART OF YOUR AUTISTIC BURNOUT RESTORATION PLAN.

So if that interests you and you’d like to learn about my unique autistic self care element called a Nano Vacation, check out S3 E11 of the Mind Your Autistic Brain Talk Show on Podcast.
