Ooooo!!! 💗👏🏼
“Tender self-compassion helps us focus less on what’s happening and more on how we’re relating to what’s happening.”
(Kristin Neff)

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to get swept up in the noise. But what if the most powerful shift isn’t changing the situation—it’s changing how we meet ourselves in the midst of it?

Self-compassion invites us to listen inward, and to respond with kindness instead of criticism. This calming presence can transform even the hardest moments.

How do you respond to being sick? 🤔
Are any of these familiar?

"I shouldn't be sick." 😠
"Why am I sick?" 🤧
"What is wrong with me?" 😫

Ohhhhhh my! These responses are completely human and understandable, but they make being sick even harder. It's like adding insult to injury.

There is a weird cultural expectation that we should never be sick or injured. It ultimately is tied to the need to work when there aren't any allowances (or enough allowances) to be sick and give ourselves the time we need to heal and get well. 😢

I am at the end of a virus that has taken me five weeks to recover from... 😳
That was three weeks beyond what I was okay or familiar with -- which caused me added frustration and guilt for not yet being well.

Interestingly, I had three other friends who either had just been sick or got sick at the same time (that I hadn't even had any contact with). One of them had already been through hell in her personal life and was really struggling with the additional stress of being sick. She asked for prayer, and I offered her the prayer below. 🙏

As I read the prayer I had written so she could hear my voice, I realized that my prayer was also for me.❤️‍🩹 Then I thought, there may be other people who may be blessed by this prayer. So I decided to share it with you.

May this prayer be received by anyone who may be blessed by it. 🙏❤️

May you be well.
May your body heal and renew itself.
May you give your body all the care it needs to heal.
May you accept the low energy and physical challenge of being sick, so that you
may soften into your healing.
May God surround you with comfort, Love, and reassurance.
May you feel that comfort, Love, and reassurance deep within your body, mind, and spirit.
May you notice bits of Light and tiny joys.
May you remember and feel Love surrounding you when it feels too much.
May you remember the bright soul you are -- a Light not only for those around
you, but for our world.
May this strengthen you and be a part of your healing.
Amen.

My friend Michael Williams is hosting this tempting online guided autobiography class. He is a gentle soul who is passionate about his work. ❤️
Registration for this 6-week class ends this Monday, May 26. ☺️

You've got stories to tell, but don't know where or how to begin. Perhaps you don't consider yourself a "writer" and worry that no one will be interested in what you have to say. Read on.

Be careful with truth.
There's an old saying, "Would you rather be right or happy?"
Compassion is behind this saying.
Compassion not only for others, but compassion for YOURSELF!

With ADHD you can be very good at seeing the whole picture, but have difficulty with breaking it down into pieces or steps. That's because of problems with executive functioning affected by ADHD. That includes prioritizing.

But you want to DO something because you see the whole thing and are excited about it! 😃 You want to do ALL of it. So you jump headlong into it. But then you get lost and overwhelmed because you are attempting to work on too many pieces at the same time.😕

Slow down, my ADHD friend. ❤️

Your enthusiasm is a wonderful part about you, and it's essential to find ways to work with it. Pausing for a moment to determine how to approach the project is not only more sustainable, but is also "truth with compassion."

What are the ways that you help yourself pause and assess? There are skills associated with doing that, and support from others who understand ADHD can go a long way!

Ha! My bread is trying to point me in the right direction.😆

This made me laugh, and I hope it'll bring you a chuckle to brighten your day. ☀️

But also, I have learned to "listen" and pay attention to signs, guidance, and reminders. They are everywhere once you start noticing. Sometimes it's a "chance" conversation. Sometimes it's a billboard. Sometimes it's a "hunch" you get about something.

What about this piece of bread? For me, it was a reminder that it's important to know your direction. But that's not enough.

You also need to know WHERE YOU ARE to successfully go in that direction!

With ADHD, trying to make changes without support and without having a clear understanding of where you are can result in a lot of frustration. You're likely to give up because it is so murky or overwhelming, or both.


If you're ready to let in compassionate support and a path with more clarity, message me! ☺️

"You're not behind." ❤️
Such a reassuring sentence when you have ADHD!

Also, "Really??? Can that really be true?" In some ways, you're always behind; it's a matter of degree. It's near impossible to be caught up because there is always something or someone who needs your attention, including yourself!

PLEASE QUESTION your standards and expectations for yourself!
* How high are they?
* Are they realistic and appropriate for someone with ADHD?
* Is your goal really to do it all?

Until you question these sneaky foundational underpinnings of your life, you are likely to feel constantly behind.

If you want support for this, reply "YES" or message me.☺️

You have zero "deficit" of attention as someone with ADHD!
You have incredible attention that

TAKES IN EVERYTHING around you (and inside you).

OR you zoom-in to that one thing,
with a LASER-LIKE FOCUS on what is

* interesting,
* novel, or
* urgent!

Your hyperfocus can be used for good, even though it can also make that ONE THING the MOST important thing in your world
in those minutes or hours.

Food? "Nah." Water? "Nah." Need to p*e? "Maybe in an hour..." Stuff happening around you? "What stuff???"
(Will address in another post!)

Your creativity and hyperfocus can be amazing friends!
It can be used to get the stuff done that needs to be done
(that your brain initially has zero interest in)
by engaging your curiosity and creativity. 🤔✨💡

You have both in spades!

The label for ADHD has not yet caught up with the research and understanding we now have. It is horribly misnamed!

If anything, you have way too much attention -- that goes to everything! You are generous with your attention in that way.
You brain wants to give alllllll the things your attention.

Except for your outstanding ability to hyperfocus on what is interesting, novel, or urgent! 👏🏼😃

There are creative and effective ways to work with this.
Message me if you want to know more. ☺️
