Are You Resting Wrong? Surprising ways to restore your energy and avoid ADHD Overwhelm and Burnout

Before my ADHD diagnosis, I felt like I was failing. Failing at Motherhood, Failing at Adulting...heck, Failing at Life! The realisation that I had a disability that explained my struggles 🤯 I wasn't lazy, this wasn't a choice, it blew my mind and gave me some relief ❤️ But the years of brainwashing, criticism and anxiety has been hard to undo, even knowing everything I believed about myself before was a lie! Over the last 2.5 years I have taught myself through trial and error, to shake off that old programming and rebuild my self confidence to a point where I am actually free to grow and enjoy life without shame and negative thoughts holding me back. I want to share my strategies with you 🥰Recent studies have shown low self esteem and negative self talk are much higher in those of us with ADHD than our neurotypical peers (especially for late diagnosed women) and that's why WE NEED TO KEEP TALKING about this. So those early in their journey know they are not alone.

I reckon Mary Poppins said it best when she sang..."In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap... the job's a game!"This trick has turned my nemesis chore (the dishes) into something I actually LOOK FORWARD to! I know....weird. I would have laughed in someone's face if they ever said that to me before but I'm willing to feel a bit silly to tell you the truth, it is possible to flip the switch from Hate/Love on household chores and life admin 🥰 and I'm going to tell you exactly how I did it on this week's episode.If you have any gameifying tricks up your sleeve that I haven't mentioned I would love to hear them.
