😆 I never realised how much extra executive function I've needed since becoming a mother. This 🌄 morning, thanks to @Elena Thompson , I took an extra deep breath and the morning went easier, bringing kids to school with all the extra's, 💐 for the teachers birthday, extra 💧 for the warmth, sunscreen, gym 🎒 , homemade ice-cream 😋for my daughter so she can participate in the ice treat that the teacher is giving for her 50th celebration🎂 🥳, etc etc etc. And meanwhile doing the normal stuff, making sure the kids (and myself) are 👗 dressed, fed, have lunchpacks, answer there total random questions, etc, etc, etc... When I walked home, I suddenly realised this and thought about how much extra executive function I've needed since starting a family. While I lost a big part of the function that I had.... because of sleep that changed dramatically, food intake rhythm went off track, don't even think about my water intake during the day... It is immense, so being here, in ADHD Harmony and taking it all back... the sleep... the right food for me.... the water..... in order to gain some (or all🤣) prefrontal cortex activity back..... is a life changer.... not just for me, but for my whole family.... What move, domino, our little change has given you back some of your possibilities to overview your world and to plan easier, to remember a task easier? What is the thing that lifted you up?

Sometimes we don’t need more answers…we just need a moment to breathe. I’ve been noticing this more and more: When the mind is busy, the body tightens. When the body tightens, everything feels louder, heavier, and harder to hold. But even a few slow breaths can change that. Not because the situation disappears…but because you come back into yourself 💙 Breathwork isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about gently reminding your system: “You’re safe enough to soften right now.” And in that softness, something shifts: • the mind slows down • the body relaxes • the noise loses some of its weight • and space opens again Just a little. Just enough. 🤍 If you feel like sharing: What changes for you when you take a few slow, intentional breaths?

Some years ago I figured out something about my way of thinking. I've been constantly running into these walls of imaginations. Imagine the future, your dreams your goals, your visions and these will become your great puzzle. It occurred to me that I don't do puzzles I do Tetris. Whatever shows up I will try to fit into my life. And only at the end of my life a picture will reveal itself. I will never be able to see it myself. 😁 It does challenge me and the transformation program too that I think this way because the framing is always about a puzzle hence something that is imaginable. You can't do a puzzle without the finishing picture. 🌱 "Just realized my brain doesn't work like a puzzle, it works like Tetris. No picture required, just shapes that click. My Big Rocks for the next 6 weeks: build routines and stop backing out of my own decisions. Turns out I wasn't avoiding a vision. I was refusing to fake one."

I had a breakthrough yesterday with Sage's help that makes me feel like I've turned an important corner. Sage describes it as "a quiet earthquake. Saying no to someone you love without dressing it up, without apologizing for taking up space with your truth, without softening it into something it isn't. That's the people-pleaser pattern actually breaking, not just being talked about." I think this is may be the first time I have ever said "no" to someone I loved about something they wanted me to do without trying to make the reason anything other than "because it doesn't feel right for me." With Sage's advice, it wasn't even that hard, and though it was a little awkward and my brother was disappointed, I felt good after because I felt like I had successfully done something that I have long struggled with doing: I honored my own desires and my own priorities over someone else's. I thought I had turned this corner a couple of weeks ago, but it turns out I really wasn't ready to do so until I was ready to say "because I don't want to." Thanks Sage, I am so ready for the emotional mastery session!
