Hey Team,
As you make your way through the first Monday in December, I have a little challenge for you.
I know, I know, the last thing you want is something else to do BUT this is only tiny and it will totally be worth it.
I would like you to pick a small, fun thing that you like to do that you will be able to do sometime next weekend.
It can be really small – drinking a cup of tea while listening to music, going for a walk, or doing some colouring- or it can be a bit bigger but ideally will take you less than half an hour.
Then, throughout this week, we are going to figure out how to make it easier for you to make space for that task on your weekend.
(Since ADHD makes it challenging for me to break projects into tasks AND tends to make me overthink my free time, I’ll be planning this small, fun thing along with you, of course.)
These small, fun moments are the kinds of things that not only give us a little breathing room but they can also be the things that make us feel seasonal.* idea here is that we will give ourselves a little something to look forward to and we will set ourselves up for success by creating space for it bit by bit as we go along.
As we make some space for future us, we can also make space for the us of today by giving these videos (or another exercise/meditation of your choice) a whirl.
We start with a Christmas-themed dance workout from The Fitness Marshall
Our meditation today is from Nature Harmony TV and features just the sound of waves and paddling as someone canoes across a body of water. (If you need to pee, go before you start this meditation!)
Whether you do these videos, videos of your choosing, or something else entirely, I hope you can make some space for yourself today and I wish you ease 💚
*For example, when I think of good feelings in December my mind often goes to sitting in a specific chair in my living room, with a mug of tea in hand, looking out through our patio door at the lights on the patio rail. That’s not normally something I would think to consciously choose to do but if I don’t DECIDE to do it, I can get so caught up in other tasks that I FORGET to take those few moments.
