Hello. I loved this scene today from a dog walk. Something a bit bleak & yet romantic about it.
Wasn't too excited about getting out but 10 mins in and I was buzzing.
Look up! Let the greenery get into your eyes!

Very excited to have my own Coaching this morning.
Very simply, the act of being seen, being heard & being acknowledged as you holds care, energy, power, potential, insight & much, much more. . .

Decided on a new a.m. dog walk route. Seen the same people a few times now & struck up a chat with 1 person. 15 mins in, "I have ADHD", "Oh wow, so do I!"
I really appreciated the easy & openness we both had; strangers united by dogs, connecting thru shared life experiences.

This was in-the-moment processing & it helped.
Naming these emotions gave them a place to settle & I noticed that quite a few then reduced in intensity.
And stating the obvious can also prove helpful for me- "unregulated"

How are you with uncertainty? I've just noticed my own strong reaction to a potential chain of events, all of which were uncertain.
Being on standby. Having to ask someone else to be on standby. Not having much notice. Not knowing how much time would be required...

Updating Darwin: biologists are returning to an older theory to explain anomalies in evolution
This week: To make sense of some characteristics that species exhibit from birth, you have to turn to an old discredited theory known as Lamarckism.

Interesting, & timely.
I'm writing 'My Manual' as a resource for me, loved ones & maybe someday, new friends & colleagues.
I'm trying this format- *Topic *how it feels to me *how it may present *things which may help.
So far I have drafted Frustration, Inactivity, and Locked In

Every appliance has instructions, every system a guide, but life lacks a manual. This led to years of trial and error, learning through mistakes. Information exists but is scattered across podcasts, books, and support groups instead of being compiled into one resource.

The Happiness Taboo
The one thing the founder of humanistic psychology wrote about — and was too scared to publish — and why saying it now is the most compassionate thing to do.
