Happy Tuesday y'all! The video below just popped up on my YouTube suggestions......as it has a Christmas theme! 🎄 🙈😂Just to make managing our ADHD brains even harder....us women have hormone fluctuations! And peri/menopause is a biggie! This hilarious video is kind of one for the ladies (only funny cos its true!) but men will probably find it funny too reminding them of someone they know! (Its the same team who produced the fab ADHD Parody I posted) https://youtube.com/shorts/-Q8IcP31xNo?si=5uMG1vcW2SX3e5m2

Hi, my name is Purdy, I’m from Yorkshire, UK and I work in law enforcement. I have experience with advocacy, trauma management, grief counselling, couples therapy, PTSD, ME/CFS, TBI (traumatic brain injury), ADHD and AuDHD. I’m looking to serve more people by branching out into life coaching in these areas. I’m neurodivergent myself. You can ask me questions about: - Living with ME/CFS & TBI - How I currently help others experiencing trauma - Being late diagnosed ADHD I want to get these things from ADHD Harmony: 1. Deeper understanding of ADHD management strategies 2. The confidence to harness my ADHD as a force for good 3. Broader insight into how ADHD affects others For fun, I like to: 1. Travel 2. Eat amazing food 3. Eat amazing food whilst travelling

I prepared my goals antigoal an and something big emerged. My #1 dimension to improve is emotion. I have peace as goal and fear as antigoal. But honestly I feel like being honest would be fearful and not bringing peace… while being authentic is something I crave (remember I am a people pleaser. Jim highlighted that masking and people pleasing is the quick fix that bring me peace and alleviate fear in the moment however deep down I know that peace is not what I look for! So I have to face my fear and put down the mask!!! That is my big achievement for 2026! 💪

Since the challenge I have consistently done my wind down and wake up routine, adapting to the circumstances defining my minimum acceptable if I have no time. I have not had any day where I did nothing. And I find that when I start doing my nonnegotiable I end up doing more! That’s already a great win and it feels sustainable which is a novelty for me 😁

If you put off the challenge, or posting, you’re not alone! I just finished all 6 days between yesterday and today, and I wasn’t going to post, but that’s my old identity speaking… So, here’s what came through for me: Day 1 🧠 I appreciated the lesson of seeing in a deeper way of Einstein’s quote, it painted a picture so it made sense to me, and helped me see more clearly. I’m a horse lover, but a Draft horse will NEVER win the Kentucky Derby… And that Quarter horse will NEVER be able to pull the plow… We’re no different. Put us where our nature makes us strong, and everyone wins. ⚡️ My open loop that has held me back the most: “change isn’t safe” 💛 After learning all of this, I feel a sense of peace I didn’t have before. Day 2 🎭 My most popular masks: Invisible + People Pleaser. I just wanted to be invisible to the world that didn’t know or already accept me, and those that were in my world… I just wanted them to be happy as clams, even if it meant putting them first every time. 😮‍💨 The exhaustion has been unmeasurable. Waking up tired, going to bed tired, taking naps during my lunch break. 👶 What I loved as a kid was rolling around in my Barbie Jeep! Playing board games, playing pretend with my barbie house, playing “camping” with my indoor tent, coloring, you name it! Christmas was my favorite, my dad would wake me before the sun was up, the truck’s heater blasting, and we’d get bundled up while the house was asleep, and drive up to the mountain to shovel snow and bring it back down (#SoCalLiving). It was early, it was cold… but it was the best day of the year! Day 3 ⚖️ The belief that's been holding me back most: "my value isn’t worth charging until…” 📍 Where it came from: the fear of judgement “who are YOU to…” ✨ My new code: "my worthiness isn’t tied to perfection but to the value I offer" 🔮 My Future Self statement: "I am the kind of person who charges what my intuition claims with ease." Day 4 📊 My lowest Harmony dimension: business and finances 🌙 Wind-down pattern I noticed: not winding-down, blue light mixed with worrying thoughts, to be replaced with an audio book.
