📅 Daily Check-in - October 7, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Good morning, JT. My lower back is really bothering me. According to my sleep app, I had a decent sleep, but I didn't have a really good sleep. Mostly restlessness for the 8 hours slept.” I’ve been packing and moving house since mid August with sporadic to no WiFi during that time. I’ve done pretty well keeping my scores up with only one stimming episode that stayed low. Until today…. I’m feeling the blahs from my over exuberance native to Audhd. I’ve also missed interacting here and this cohort 4. I was able to do my day + night check-ins. Those and keeping strict with my sleep are what kept me sane. Glad to have steady WiFi and back here. 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 9/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 9/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 7/10 🔥 Motivation: 8/10 ⭐ Average: 8.2/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations ✨ Positive Mindset 📅 No Meetings

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?

📅 Daily Check-in - October 3, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Today I've been reflecting on the surgeon's orders i.e. I'm not to walk more than 3km a day. Well in all reality I've blown that every day since discharge even when I'm trying hard to stick to it. Today I focussed on sitting in bed and working. I have a deadline of Monday for something to be filed with the Charities Commission in relation to the Charities Amendment Act 2023. There's a heck of a lot of work involved and I'm a very detailed person which could be my derailment! I got it done - much to my surprise. Comparing Acts and Trust Deeds isn't my favourite job in the world but you get a great deal of satisfaction knowing you can tick it off. I still marvel at how little we know about our bodies. Medical science is advancing all the time but we still sometimes don't grasp the bare basics in understanding. When I look at the world around me, we've learnt a lot scientifically, yet we still can't control the weather. We're heading for a general election in 6 weeks and I listen to all the political parties and their never ending promises. Yet they fail to understand the bare basics - what do we need to exist in tihis world and how do we address the high cost of living? Honestly I could go on all night but I wont. I'll just be satisfied that I've completed what I have done so soon after surgery - that's such a. massive win!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 6/10 ⚡ Energy: 5/10 🎯 Focus: 6/10 😌 Calmness: 6/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 5/10 🔥 Motivation: 6/10 ⭐ Average: 5.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: ☀️ Morning Sunlight 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 📋 Planned Day 1️⃣ Single Tasking 📅 No Meetings 👥 Quality Time 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner

💭 Reflection: "I had run out of my ADHD medication yesterday without knowing😅, and that explains why it was so much harder to get myself started yesterday, even though it turned out to be a good day overall. I realized that when I was taking my medication this morning that I never actually got around to refilling it on Thursday because it’s considered a controlled substance and it’s not allowed to be refilled through the app and I had needed to call it in. This brought up memories of first trying out different dosages and forms of the ADHD medication to find the right one when I was first diagnosed back in January 2025, and there were a lot of medication shortages for the prescription I was on, so I dealt with not always having access to the medication, forgetting to call in refills, being told it was on back order so had to go even longer without, and such.😓 I believe that it is worth the time to find the right medication (@Lorna Boales shared a little bit about her own experience after the most recent Cohort 4 live call ended☺️), or some people find that they ultimately don’t need medication, but for me, the right prescriptions and the right dosages have made a positive difference. My daughter just left for church with her aunt and uncle, so I have some time to myself. There’s a lot I am planning to get done today, including picking up my refilled prescription, placing a grocery order, and grooming 2 of my family’s dogs (a Standard Poodle🐩 and a Shih Tzu🐶) during a Body Doubling session on Harmony AI💛" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 6/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 9/10 🔥 Motivation: 9/10 ⭐ Average: 7.7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 🌙 Early Bedtime 💧 Stayed Hydrated ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🙏 Prayer 📝 Journaling 💚 Gratitude Practice 💭 Affirmations 🎯 Visualization 🎯 Deep Work 🧠 Learning 🤝 Helped Someone
