Getting out the door—and closing the circle
I wrote the first part of this while the panic was actually happening, to help myself settle and sort my thoughts. I had a 1 p.m. appointment at the bank to open an account. At 12:35, I started getting ready. Got my clothes. Got my shoes. No glasses. No backup glasses… when was the last time I saw those? I don’t always put my glasses on when I get up, and sometimes hours pass before I realize I’m not wearing them. Panic set in. I raced through the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. I turned the recliner over to see whether they were underneath. While hunting for the glasses, I realized I didn’t have my driver’s license either. How in the heck can I open a bank account without it? I’d been shuffling papers around during the week. Two days earlier, I had noticed that my license wasn’t back in my wallet. Did I retrieve it then? No. It was a sort of pseudo-registration in my brain. Me: “Driver’s license not in wallet.” Brain: “So noted. Carry on.” The information registered, but it never became an action. Now I really needed it to get the new bank anccount. The panic escalated. Fortunately, I was able to reschedule the appointment. Then I noticed something fascinating: I immediately wanted to play Sudoku blocks on MindPal to blank out the feelings. Instead, I stopped to settle myself. Racing around on a fruitless search was only making me more frantic. My goal was to interrupt that familiar pattern. I intentionally stopped and engaged in a breathing practice. I breathed in for four counts, held for seven, and breathed out for eight, repeating several times. This pattern is known as 478. Once I settled, my search became more calm and systematic. Within five minutes, I found both my glasses and my driver’s license. I felt exasperated and frustrated, but I wasn’t calling myself names. I was trying to understand what had happened. I still don’t understand how to get myself arranged well ahead of time before leaving. Like, when exactly does preparation start when I’m busy doing other stuff? How does that work?

💭 Reflection: "I tried Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)/Yoga Nidra for the first time since I kept seeing NSDR and yoga nidra mentioned in the ADHD Harmony content and by other members here. First, I didn’t realize that yoga nidra was a guided meditation and not a yoga workout🤪 So after that revelation and completing the 10-minute NSDR video on YouTube, I found a 12-minute gentle yoga routine video to try as a small step towards my Big Rock #1 🪨 my physical body. There was a lot more that happened and more I wanted to say, but it’s already past 10:30pm🥱 Just remembered why morning check-ins are so much easier😴" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 8/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 9/10 ⭐ Average: 8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🚿 Cold Shower 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🧘 Yoga 🏊 Swimming 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🧘‍♂️ Meditation 🙏 Prayer 📝 Journaling 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization ✨ Positive Mindset 🎯 Deep Work 🧠 Learning 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 📞 Called Friend/Family 👂 Active Listening 👯‍♀ Body doubling 🐱🐶 Pets

@Linda T It’s the BEST! I is the name Yoga Nidra. The NSDR name was coined by Dr Joe Dispenza. who is a researcher in brain, neurobiology, neuroscience, etc. He is a very valuable source of information. There is so much benefit to yoga, Nidra. It is an ancient practice, nearly 3000 years old. It is late here right now, so I won’t go on a ton (just a quarter ton). I think I posted a little bit about it here before. Just go to YouTube and search for it. You can get yoga Nidra for just about any sort of thing. I love the fact that it increases dopamine and other neurotransmitters in the brain, and the effects are cumulative. Basically what it does, it takes you to a state that is between sleeping and wakefulness- unless you do go to sleep. When it is twice as effective as the same amount of actual sleep. One hour of yoga, Nidra, is worth two hours of sleep. I have been practicing yoga Nidra for about two years. It has benefited me greatly. I do it at least five times a week, maybe more, because you can just do 15 minutes, you know, you could do it if you’re I’m retired, but people who are working could just take a 1520 minute break and really restore your system, you know, get that nap that you needed, but it’s like nap times two. Many times I have just done yoga Nidra for 15 minutes, and at the end of those 15 minutes, wonder where I’d been. I mean, a complete reset. Between that and some of the training that came along with the Zen monks who started their 2300 mile journey last October, starting on the 27th, 2025, I think, and you can go look them up, it’s called Walk for Peace. The teacher shows how to keep yourself from being reactive to things. And the point is made very well by their example, because they walked barefoot for most of that 2300 miles, from Fort Worth Texas to Washington DC sleeping four hours a night, one meal a day for a little more than three months. Staying focused on peace - not necessarily the concept of peace - allowed the brain to bypass the everyday pain that came along. Early on, one monk got hit by a large vehicle and he lost his leg, yet he didn’t yell out, get mad, raise a fuss, sue the driver… he and they maintained peace.
This is what ADHD looks like
I got my laptop out of the bag to finish organizing my taxes a week before the extension deadline. I tore the house apart looking for an envelope full of 2025 receipts, couldn't find them. After a few hours putting what I had into a spreadsheet, I went to put my laptop in the bag, and there's the envelope full of receipts, which I put in my laptop bag, so I'd know where they were when I did my taxes.🤪

Oh so typical. Oh so frustrating. I am teaching myself how to not go ten directions during those times.

He’s now launched his own course with his brother. - @Heather Jensen went from late-night scrolling to waking without an alarm and giving her creative work the first hour of her day. - @Lynn Berry , 72, described herself as “too afraid to change.” Six weeks later, she was preparing to open her Reiki practice. And we have around 100 more of those stories... If you recognise yourself in where they started, watch their stories. Over six weeks, you’ll get 12 live sessions with me, replays, Harmony AI, body doubling and support putting what you learn into practice. 2 payments of $749. $1,498 total. And the guarantee: complete the check-ins, worksheets and at least half the live sessions.
