This week has been chaos in my house.
We are having renovations done and there is mess everywhere.
I had no idea how this was going to affect me, but it's been huge.
It's been a while since my dyslexia affected me as much as it has this last week, and I have been reminded that being dyslexic is really a part of us. It doesn't just go away.
Being at my dyslexic worst this week has meant that I have made mistakes, felt overwhelmed and chaotic and it's been really tough.
I used to feel like this ALL THE TIME but have created so much change in my life that this is a really unusual situation for me now.
However, realising that being surrounded by chaos is not good for me and my dyslexia has been a real revelation. I need a calm environment to feel centered and focused.
It's been really good to put things in perspective this week and see how far I have come.
