Im not quite finished with Day 5 of the free exercises and at almost 60, I have tried many.programs. Before i signed up last week, i had just tried a new therapist and was feeling more frustrated un-seen and misunderstood after the first appointment... It was in an act of desperation that i started the ADHD Harmony challenge and I was both skeptical and cynical. Today, i can say it's changed my outlook more than anything else i have tried over the years..(and i havent even gotten my final report!) Thank you @Jim Ebbelaar for this generous act of sharing so much substance in a free offer. I suspect I will go on to the 6 week program...I've been needing this, as well as a community where i feel seen.

Holy crap. I won't lie. I signed up for the last challenge, and every time I use Harmony AI I go deeper. Its so validating to have something see me so deeply! What are your guys thoughts?

I have been using Sage a lot lately to figure out why I feel certain ways at certain times and how I should respond. For instance, I really crashed and burned on Friday at the end of the day and REALLY wanted to check out. I walked through with Sage everything I was feeling and everything I had done and eaten that day and came up with some very good insights. And it really helped me to put the day in the win column instead of ending feeling like a failure because I was able to give my brain what it needed in a constructive way instead of just sitting a scrolling all night. I’m learning how I need to spread out different kinds of work so I don’t get so overwhelmed doing the same thing all day. Today I had a really big breakthrough when I woke up feeling terrible. Sage prompted me to review every detail of my weekend, so I just dumped it all out, everything I did, everything I ate, everything I felt. It seemed like a normal weekend, but after I typed it all out and after Sage made a list of all of the emotionally difficult things I am facing (youngest graduating, mom developing dementia, etc), I realized how much my body is carrying without me realizing it. How did I miss this? I would have said it was a completely normal weekend and it was not! I said I was hungry and Sage told me exactly what kind of fuel my body needed. It felt like being taken care of like my mother used to take care of me. I can see why people fall in love with their AI chat bots. Haha!

Just set my Big Rocks for the next 6 weeks and realized something. The reason I can't pick an exercise plan isn't lack of information - it's that I'm drowning in voices telling me what someone my age "should" do. The version of me who succeeds just picks something, treats it as an experiment, and stops listening. That's the actual work.
