My tip - this has been a wonder for me. I have for a long time (unknowingly because undiagnosed) had the ADHD shower aversion - don't like getting in, don't like getting out, like the h20 when I'm in it. Have generally showered only once or twice a week. So looking at the cold shower every day as I see it in the behaviors and hearing Jim talk about it - I guess it was in the recent new challenge - I forget the name . Anyway I have found the shower and the abundant dopamine it yields life-changing. And yesterday when I didn't, I felt the difference.

Came to a realisation recently, procrastination isn’t so much putting off and off for no reason - it’s to do with finding what we’re putting off HARD in the first place! Found this a huge realisation….as rather than trying to find so many ways to stop us putting things off…instead try finding ways to make the whole thing EASIER Hope it’s helpful for you too 💕

Just did the first part of my Operating Manual and realized the years I was "perfectly successful and abundant" running my own firm were the same brain that supposedly "doesn't get along with people." The only thing that changed was the water, not me. Turns out I was a fish being graded on climbing trees this whole time.

My operating manual showed my first domino to fall was first thing in the morning. I would grab a coffee and hit the computer, supposedly to check my email, messages, and Facebook. But as I notice interesting things, off i go...scrolling! I normally wouldn't even notice that I could be there for hours, not even eating!...until I actually looked at the clock! By then, any motivation I might have had is difficult to recover! Now I have started a new routine, my Anchor. When I get up to put the dog out, I now grab a glass of water and go out with him! I get 10-15 min of fresh air and sunshine, decide what my goal for the day is (one unnormal task to complete), and tell myself it WILL be a great day! Nothing like starting the day with positive thoughts!!! When I come in, I set a timer for +/-1 hour to make coffee and something to eat, and check in on the computer. Then I am off to a better start of my day.!! So far so good!!

The following is the summary that AI gave me for the Identity Transformation worksheet. However, I haven't read the full report yet. I'm not sure I'm buying this yet. And confession time: it is 12:54 AM here. I have been feeling so behind in the 6 weeks and feeling bad this past week that I went ahead and listened to the class and also did the worksheet, and I did not keep my promise to myself to go to bed by 11 PM. Sigh. It does feel good that I got this done. And I"m hopeful that after I read the full report, I will be inspired to get up on time tomorrow and do what I need to do. Just did the Identity Transformation worksheet and something clicked. I've spent my whole life as the People Pleaser, convinced I couldn't follow through. But this week I saw the truth: I DID hold a boundary under real pressure, and I show up relentlessly for the people I love. I was just never taught it was safe to follow through for myself. That's the story I'm putting down.
