Are you not ok with the way Thanksgiving 2020 is going? Feeling angry, sad, tired and irritable? Here is an easy breathing exercise you can do to.... JUST KIDDING! While a breathing exercise may help you cope in the moment, what you are experiencing in an expected reaction to an unprecedented event. In other words, for many of us thanksgiving 2020 IS the pits! No wonder you are having so many painful thoughts and emotions coming up. Here is the cool thing...have you ever cons...idered what your painful thoughts and emotions say about what matters to you? We hurt where we care and this weekend many of us are missing family, friends and traditions that bring us together and mark the passing of a season. What baby step could you take towards who and what you care about this weekend? Maybe it’s a text or a video chat, maybe it’s making a recipe that reminds you of someone special, or taking hike. Or maybe it’s just being kind to yourself in this moment of suffering and taking some solace in the fact that you don’t suffer alone See more

I just leave this here. For anyone who needs it...

October is ADHD Awareness month y’all! Is the post a few days late? Yes. This that totally on point for a post about ADHD? Also yes! For those who don’t know, ADHD is classed as neurodevelopmental disorder. There is lots we know about ADHD and lots we still don’t. What we do know is that identification and treatment can help! In everyday life ADHD looks like challenges with executive function i.e getting sh!t done. One of the best metaphors I have heard to explain it was cre...ated by Understood.org community members Katherine Ellis Tapley who said; I describe it as putting together five jigsaw puzzles at the same time and the pieces are all mixed together. And the boxes have no pictures. In other words, all the pieces are there but the action of completing the task can be much more complex. If you or someone you love lives with ADHD, you know that it can mean a lot of things...and they are not all bad! With understanding, acceptance and support folks with ADHD can and do thrive!
