Having surgery on my right side for carpal tunnel. Left one healed well. Still a little tender, but nothing like it was. I may have to use more voice to text as I’m right handed. I’m the end it will be good

I'm sorry, thank you for the help you have provided but I will be leaving the community. I cannot in good conscience stay in a community that so easily dismisses the experience of millions of people to it's the Canadian federal government's fault. Also a community that supports a lie and supports slander and misinformation. I am protecting myself and my country Edit: I wanted to edit this rather than delete as words cannot be erased. Therefore I would like to amend my comment. I unfortunately misunderstood Kelly's testimonial this morning, I should have asked for clarity, I made a mistake. However, the response from some of the community, not all, left me feeling very much dismissed, attacked and not welcome. Due to the brain injury 2 sentences can take a full 5 or 10 minutes to type, therefore I was unable to respond. My first comment during the webinar on Tuesday morning was supposed to just go to host and panelist, I had not meant to send that to everyone. However, the response from some people showed me that this was only safe if I made myself small and minimised myself for everyone else's comfort. I have fought for years to bring myself back from 12 years of constant bullying. After which I was married for 2 years followed by a brain injury and 9 days in a coma. I came home just an exploding mess of unregulated frustration and self loathing. I lost my career, my license, I couldn't walk, I had a horse I could no longer get too, and 3 out of 4 of my pets died. A guinea pig, a dog, and a budgie. Only my cat survived. My husband is autistic so for 16 years I lost my mind and he retreated. I cheated emotionally twice as I was dying, I grabbed for a life line like I was drowning. The brain injury happened on August 7 2006, my 22nd birthday. My in-laws spent 16 years blaming me for everything as due to the brain injury my mask broke but my husband is so good at the mask even his own family didn't know him. They left me out if he didn't come to family functions, as they were convinced I was the problem. They even wanted me to send my kids with them for camping trips so I could be left behind since he didn't want to go and I wasn't welcome without him.

After many years of struggling, I rebuilt my life from scratch the last 5 years. Here's my birthday gift to you: 29 lessons, one for every year. 1. You were never broken. You've been running the wrong operating system your whole life. 2. It's not an attention deficit. You have plenty of attention. It just flows to what's interesting, not what's important. 3. Procrastination is almost never laziness. It's often emotional avoidance: fear of failing, fear of being judged, fear of what happens if it actually works. 4. Sometimes you call it procrastination, but it's protection. If you never fully try, a failure can never prove you're broken. 5. The difference between "I am lazy" and "I have a belief that says I'm lazy" is everything. One is a life sentence. The other is code you can rewrite. 6. You are not the voice in your head. You're the one who hears it. Don't fight it, don't believe it. Just stop giving it your attention. 7. You're not too sensitive. You're exactly as sensitive as a brain that feels everything at full volume. That same intensity is what makes fast change possible. 8. Anxiety lives in the future. Depression lives in the past. The only place you can change anything is right now. 9. Falling isn't the problem. Everyone falls. The only skill that matters is how fast you get back up. 10. Never miss two days in a row. One missed day is life happening. Two missed days is the start of a new identity. 11. Sleep is the first domino. Fix your sleep and willpower, focus and mood start fixing themselves. 12. If you can drink coffee at night and still fall asleep, that's not a superpower. It means you're chronically exhausted. 13. Movement isn't about fitness. It's about regulation. Thirty minutes of moving your body buys you hours of focus, for free. 14. Every workout is evidence that you can do hard things. You're not just training your body. You're training your self-image. 15. A sugary breakfast means your motivation is gone before lunch. Protein and healthy fats first. Boring advice that changes everything. 16. Cheap dopamine is borrowed energy. Scrolling, sugar, staying up late: you always pay it back tomorrow, with interest. 17. Willpower is a battery. Systems keep working when you're tired. Phone in another room beats "I won't check my phone" every time. 18. Your brain doesn't freeze on tasks. It freezes on unclear tasks. Shrink the first step until it takes one minute. 19. Starting is the hardest part, not the work itself. Once you're in, hyperfocus carries you. So engineer the start, not the whole task. 20. Clarity is not adding more. Clarity is selection plus subtraction. Pick two things that matter. Park the rest. 21. You can do anything, but you can't do everything. So decide. 22. If it's not an obvious yes, it's a no. Your future self will thank you for everything you declined. 23. Stop looking at the nouns, start looking at the verbs. Hobbies change every few weeks. The drive underneath them, creating, solving, connecting, has been the same since you were a kid. That's your compass. 24. You're not scattered. You're a polymath. Your weird mix of interests isn't the problem to fix. It's the formula. 25. Being good at something is not the same as being built for it. Good is the enemy of great. 26. You can't out-affirm an old story about yourself. You can only out-evidence it. Every small action is a vote for who you're becoming. 27. Success feels unsafe when it doesn't match your self-image. That's why you blow things up right before the breakthrough. Change the self-image and the sabotage stops. 28. You become the average of the five people closest to you. Find the ones playing the long game. Let go of the ones who keep you small. 29. It all works from the inside out. Your thoughts become things, and your world is a mirror of your inner state. Change who you believe you are, and your life has no choice but to reorganize itself to match.

Hey everyone ☀️🌴 It's been a little while since I've properly checked in, so I wanted to give you a quick update from Costa Rica. As some of you know, I came here for a plant medicine retreat and took the opportunity to enjoy a vacation as well. I'm still processing everything that happened, so I'm not ready to share the full story yet. It was one of the most challenging, beautiful, and transformative experiences I've ever had. I also got to spend time with some incredible people who've had a huge impact on my life, and I'm grateful that they're now becoming my friends. For the people in cohort 3.5 and continuation: I'll be sharing the more on the Q&A on Tuesday, August 4, and I'm looking forward to having an open conversation with all of you. In the meantime, I'd love to make the session as valuable as possible. Drop your questions below 👇 I've also been a bit behind on DMs because of the travel, so thank you for your patience. I'll be catching up over the next few days. Looking forward to seeing some of you on Tuesday. With love 💛 Jim

My wife and son brought our youngest dog (4)to the vet today because she hasn’t been eating for the last several days she’d nibble but then stopped that. She’s been drinking water. Anyways, they just took her to the vet. The vet said she looked jaundice and then after asking a bunch of questions sent them to the emergency clinic down at University of Florida. So my wife and son are there right now. And we don’t know what the status is as of yet. I hope it’s not like the last time. 😢. Oslo’s liver was “angry” with inflammation, which is how he died. The doctor was wondering why now a second dog has liver issues. Vet asked if they got into anything, but if so, we have no idea what because we haven’t done anything different for the last several years. Had a pool for several years. Had same chemicals around and out of access. No idea how or why, but that’s where we’re at. I’m hoping we don’t have to do this again. Last month was hard enough. This is my AuDHD son’s dog.
