We've cooked up some exciting new StormiDayz SPIN (special-interest) groups for the upcoming school holidays - and we'd love for you to join us.

All groups are small, neuroaffirming, and designed to support connection, creativity, regulation, and confidence — with no pressure, no forced interaction, and lots of fun!

🗳️ Complete the form to register your interest and we'll be in touch: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DjrubNV7Z59g69ifvSC-z8n-Itu4pF9dLV5aN1skPCU/edit

Let’s make these holidays magical (and meaningful!) 🌈✨

🐾 Executive Function Chaos Club presents… Floki’s Energy-Saving Mode 💤

Some days your brain is a bouncing echidna.
Other days… you're a fluffy king on a break from managing the universe.
💡Psychology reminder:
Rest is productive. Brains need downtime too, especially ADHD ones running 27 tabs at once.
So if you're horizontal and recharging, you're basically Floki.
A professional in strategic loafing.

⚖️ Bedtime = Negotiation 101

Parents: “It’s bedtime.”
Kids - Counter-offer: "two sips of water, three bathroom trips, and a 15-minute TED Talk on dinosaurs.”

👉 What feels like stalling is actually early executive functioning in action.
They’re practicing:

💬 Communication – getting their point across

🤝 Negotiation – testing compromise and bargaining

🧠 Emotional regulation – stretching out the moment to avoid the “big feeling” of separation

Sure, it’s exhausting… but it’s also skill-building in disguise.
(Unfortunately, you’re the test subject 😅)

🍪 Cookies & Psychology

Your brain says: eat the whole stack.
Self-control says: maybe one.

Here’s what the therapy world says:

ACT 🌊 → Notice the craving, name it, and choose what matters most (yes, joy can count).

CBT 💭 → Ask: is this a fact (“I need them”) or just a thought (“I want them”)?

Schema Therapy 🧩 → Sometimes it’s not hunger at all — it’s comfort, safety, or love we’re really reaching for.

Play Therapy 🎲 → Cookies become the game — practice choices, sharing, and imagination through play.

Narrative Therapy 📖 → The story isn’t “I have no control around cookies.” It’s “I can choose the role I want in this story.”

So whether it’s one cookie, three cookies, or just staring at the stack… psychology is always in the mix.

🧠✨ Meet Steve (aka your brain).
In psychology we call this cognitive defusion (thanks ACT therapy 🙌).
It’s the skill of stepping back from unhelpful thoughts instead of treating them like absolute truths.

By giving your brain a name (Steve, Karen, Bob, Beyoncé — whatever works), you create just enough distance to say:
💭 “That’s just a thought. Not a fact. Not the boss of me.”

So next time a negative thought barges in, try it:
👋 “Shut up, Steve.”
Or if you’re feeling fancy:
🎩 “Thanks for your input, Steve, but I’m good.”

It’s silly. It’s science. And honestly? It works.
