What is Your Story?




I really enjoyed this video from TedxTalks. I have been feeling like I need to do more journaling as part of my own healing journey but also for having my story written, for my kids or for anyone who would benefit from reading it. I love LeRon's belief in the societal changes that can come from hearing ALL stories. That's a big reason I do this blog. There is healing in storytelling. I hope to be a platform for more stories to be heard. The stories validate our own experiences when we can relate, and they teach us of other experiences and perspectives that may be different than ours or simply unknown to us. I hope this inspires you to find a way to start sharing your story. Find more great stories and speeches at:



 

Self-care when you have ADHD

One of  the "reals" I have to deal with in my life is that I have ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood when some of my struggles with lack of organization, time management, etc became really apparent and hard to deal with. I found myself being overwhelmed all of the time. It was hard for me to focus on basic daily tasks and responsibilities. My diagnosis was over a decade ago, but I still feel like I have a lot to learn about how my brain works. I love the idea of self care for any mental health or life challenge you are facing. Maintaining basic self care habits helps us feel more positive and capable to deal with the harder things. And it helps our self esteem. At least this is what I have noticed with myself. I came across this video this morning..
