🕯️ January & the Forgotten Fire (ADHD Edition)

Folklore says January was never meant to be a fresh start.

It was a fire-tending month.

You fed the fire.

You didn’t sprint away from it with a vision board, a dopamine-hungry to-do list, and three new habits by Monday.

Yet here we are…Trying to run summer hormones on a winter battery — with an ADHD nervous system that already burns fuel faster than average. 🔋❄️

🔥 Hormonal riddle for ADHD brains:

Where are you secretly forcing energy instead of guarding it like a precious ember?

Stealing sleep because “this is the only quiet time”?
Forcing productivity while your brain quietly files a burnout appeal?
“Eating clean” while dopamine and hormones whisper feed me?
Holding emotional space for everyone else because dropping the ball feels worse than exhaustion?

👀 CTA (ADHD-safe, no essays):

Drop ONE word in the comments — the place your body is asking for less pressure this January.

(If your brain says “all of them”, pick the one that made you laugh-cry 😅)
