Then describe it differently. Ask sister or others to take different positions. No one is wrong. Perspective is different.

How often as adults do we get stuck in the perspective. S.H.I.F.T. your perspective.

Self. Health. Integrity. Family&Friends. The work I do.

[Catalina Finck @4WeekYear]

I have been away from social media. Coming back.
Why do I step away.

Taking care of Self, Health, Integrity, Family/Friends & The work I do.

WHY.....getting my SH*T together by adding my F in life.

STOP DROPPING THE F "Friends and Family" and SHIFT perspective.

[Catalina Finck @4WeekYear]

The way you see it & your sibling sees it are different. It doesn't mean the other person is lying or wrong. Only seeing it differently.

Then ask your child to describe where the apple is, while he is looking at it on a table with other items.

Move & describe it again.

[Catalina Finck @4WeekYear]

What do you do in your life that helps you get access to who you are?

The goal is not to get over who you are, but to embrace yourself & what helps you be you.

For me, it is accepting I can't do it alone & those I love are here to help me be me & I'm here to help them too.

@Theholisticpsyc It is hard to remember when the energy is high and thoughts are going fast.

So, I think of my friend ERICA to help me shift.

Emotions are
Rapid, so
Identify it
Curious about it
Accept(feel)

Then the next emotions pops up rapidly. E.R.I.C.A.
My friend helps me pause.

Transitions…

Today’s dopamine boost and calm start.

Sneak out by 7am Saturday and not say a word. 🤭 @jeremy_finck and kids sleeping 😴

Leaving an hour early to design someone’s kitchen and see the sunrise.

Leave before the cycles of questions and request. I’m awake & calm

[Catalina Finck @4WeekYear]

Yes. That is why I’m glad it’s winter. The cold outside is better than my caffeine! Wake up and step outside 🥶😳

[Structured Success @StructuredSucc]

Many people with ADHD take much longer to fall asleep than non-ADHD'ers.

This reduces our length and quality of sleep, sure, but it can also contribute to intense difficulties waking up or feeling alert in the morning
