ADHD Students

New Year, New Semester
Reflect On Last Semester

#adhd #adhdstudents #adhdsupport #adhdreset #adhdcoach
ADHD Students New Year, New Semester Reflect On Last Semester 1. What routines helped me stay on track? 2. What habits did I develop, good or bad? 3. Where did my biggest struggles show up? 4. What goals did I achieve? 5. What do I want to take with me into the next semester? 6. What do I want to leave in the last one? 7. What did I learn from tough times, challenges, or failures.

It's a new year, and for many students, that brings a new semester.

New semesters feel like a chance for a fresh start.

A reset and recharge time.

ADHD Paralysis - An ADHD Struggle

Tips For Unsticking Yourself

PS - Check out my free upcoming webinar Overcoming Overwhelm
Simplifying Goal Setting For ADHD Success on January 7th. Free but you must register: www.allbelong.com/overcoming-o...

#adhd #adhdsupport #ADHDSuccess #adhdparalysis
ADHD Paralysis - An ADHD Struggle Tips For Unsticking Yourself Ask yourself "what one tiny step can I take right now that will make me feel productive?" Focus small - instead of "I need to clean the kitchen" try "I need to wash the dishes." If that's still too much, try "I need to wash just the plates." Get Help - a coach, an accountability buddy, a coworking group. We find it easier to do stuff we dislike doing if there's someone else there. Don't make a long to-do list; put TWO things on it only. Make those two the important things. More than likely, you'll get the two things done at least. Be Kind To Your Mind - This is your brain's wirting, this is not a reflection of your worth or abilities. Reach out for help!

Look what clients are saying about working with me!

Book a discovery call with me today and let's chat!

"Before I discovered Kat, I was having a career crisis & felt lost with the direction of work. I was running a business that didnt' fully suit my brain or allow me to fully leverage my creativity. After going through this career program with Kat, I experienced transformation & discovered a career path that feels aligned and suits my creative brain. Kat's sessions involved deep reflection & intuitively supported me in identifying my strengths, weaknesses, & real interests. We got clear on my core values which steered me onto a path that truly excites me. I've since secured wonderful opportunities that are keeping me on track to flourishing in this new career. Kat is also friendly, supportive, & makes you feel comfortable as she guides you through your journey. What makes Kat stand out is that she really caters for neurodivergent folks so well. Thank you Kat, you've been amazing!" ~Erin

Your child is not broken.

They do not need to be fixed.

Our expectations and demands of them? Those might need to be fixed.

You know that sometimes nagging sometimes overwhelming voice in your head that is fueled by fear?

It's lying to you.

You are worthy.

You are capable.

You are valued.

You are amazing.

Your fear is lying to you.
