Day 4 ✅ Done! 📊 My lowest Harmony dimension: Finances 🌙 Wind-down pattern I noticed: I still haven’t tried it…🫣 🌅 Morning pattern I noticed: I haven’t tried that either. The cold shower exercise thing felt very ”dude/bro” 🔁 I decided to (not) close my open loop: because…I forgot about it 💭 And it made me feel: I’m Embarrassed because it’s very important to me (in theory) it’s my brothers birthday card. It just needs a stamp. And I can’t find my stamps… 🤯 What surprised me: how emotional all of this has been for me

Hello all my name is Ruqayyah (rhymes with Maya) and I am completing this now because I’m on spring break and I just have a moment to breathe. I am an assistant professor at a university and I have been working with my ADHD (self diagnosed in 2024) and trying to help my kids and family do the same for themselves. Anyhoo, that’s all I’m sharing for now. I live in central Illinois (NOT Chicago).

My limiting belief : I am a ridiculous mother. Source : my mother told me a was bound t be when I was a child. Lamented my poor children if ever they had the misfortune of being born. Apparently, her whole generation of Russian women did that in attempt to embarrass their children into becoming "good". It's ok, I forgive her. However, my son agrees to drink my offered turmeric+blk pepper brew whenever I hear him sneeze, is doing morning routine exercises, is trusting me with his emotional pain, is completely clean in the face of his many problems, and is just after volunteering to walk to the gym, so I must be after doing something right. People are telling me that I am a good mother. I am going to breathe with this for a month (or couple of days at least, lol), looking forwards to have this good thought about myself sink in. Gratitude

This has Al been so good! ⚖️ The belief that's been holding me back most: is that I’m stupid 📍 Where it came from: it came from people always telling me in too smart to be so stupid or book smart/ street dumb ✨ My new code: "[reframe]" 🔮 My Future Self statement: "I am the kind of person whose intelligence is not predicated on perfection.” Which is actually very interesting because in school systems, intelligence IS predicated on perfection (e.g. A = 100% = smart). I’ll have to unpack that later… 💪 Debugging in progress...

I’m curious how old you were when you were diagnosed. I was in my 50s.
