It’s the New Year and our ADHD brains are likely thinking: “Let’s start a new hobby! Or a project! 🤗” Ok, we don’t actually need a new year because we do this at anytime…start a new hobby. 😄 Can you relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Curious, what hobby did you just start or want to start? I’ll go first: Journaling using a calligraphy pen. 🖋️ My sister gifted me for Christmas this gorgeous calligraphy set with wax stamp tools and all!!! I started calligraphy early last year. I loved it — it calmed me down. Then my ADHD brain lost interest somehow, so I stopped. And that’s okay. But with this new unique calligraphy set, I’m about to re-start calligraphy. Can’t wait! 🥰 P.S. This is an exercise to FEEL good about our ever changing hobbies…about starting and stopping our hobbies…about letting go of the shame we often feel for doing this…and instead having positive feelings about what our ADHD brains love to do: change frequently! 🥰

If you’re comfortable sharing, answer one or more of the questions below. 👇 💬 How is ADHD understood where you live? 💬 Is it easy or hard to get diagnosed or find support? 💬 What’s one thing you wish people in your country or state knew about ADHD? 📍Comment with your country/state and experience — short or long, every story adds light to our global map.

Following on from an earlier post of how I deal with the anxiety of being late I am started to factor in being early. After years of teaching children to swim in a 30min lesson I have been "forced" to adapt and then working in an appointment based role I have adapted to being early. This has provided me with much more security and ease and I love it! However: I have noticed more and more recently that I am unable to go anywhere without "just in case" items. As an ADHD I always have the note books (1 for reflection, 1 for work, 1 for gratitude etc). But I feel I am also adding in extra things like more food, 2 pens, extra lip gloss, book, tampons I could go on. It is almost like by being early I feel I now have spare time I don't want to waste or what if suddenly someone cancels I want to use that time well. I have lots of starts and stops in my days due to drop of and pick up etc. I think due to my past ability to time waste I have gone too much to the other side as well as still not mastering how long something will actually take. Also if there is room in a bag I need to fill it. I have been experimenting with smaller bags. Some examples would be. -My day job where I get a 30min break. I will take my journal in case there is time for a self reflection (never time) - I am heading out for the day shopping. In my bag is always spare food in case as well as a journal, ear buds, drink bottle. Thinking ahead but I could also just wing it. - I run an outdoor cycling program and have extra clothes, food, book in case there is a cancellation I could go on but curious about other people response to this.
