Embrace "the messy middle." Success is the result of trial and error not in spite of it.

Is it any wonder we're just SO exhausted all the time?

When we don't prioritize self care, we WILL get very predictable results.

It's the black & white thinking trap. Focusing on why we "should" do a thing or waiting until everything is perfect means we can never start.

Catastrophizing is when we get stuck imagining worst-case-scenarios.

Being able to pause and "read the room" helps us feel safe enough to engage authentically instead of trying too hard.

A little bit of silliness is good brain juice. It gets me going in the morning.

Success with ADHD has a lot to do with how well we learn to manage anxiety and overwhelm

ADHD often means we will push back against anything that isn't our idea to begin with

3/3. Be kind to yourself. Invest in self care so you aren’t so easily overwhelmed to begin with, and ask for help when you need it.

You have permission to NOT do everything all at once.

It’s hard to cover something like this with just a quick note, but I hope this helps.

2/3. Breaking things down also means right-sizing tasks, not just listing all the steps. ADHDers tend toward B&W thinking and perfectionism. Is the job actually tackling the ENTIRE laundry monster? Or can you do a smaller load - enough clothes to buy yourself some space so you can move forward?

ADHD Flying Squirrel @docsez.bsky.social · Sep 17

1/3. Overwhelm is part of fight, flight or freeze. When we feel under attack we have lower frustration tolerance & higher overwhelm. I think of overwhelm as a check engine light. I get overwhelmed when I’m not in a good place, haven’t taken care of myself or I don’t have enough resources.

Even when the way forward is clear, the whole thing can still feel like too much. Remember you can break things down into smaller chunks.

When we have big feelings and impulsivity, pausing is hard. But the payoff is worth it.

The thing about ADHD is how our brain sees everything from a unique perspective.
