Ah thinking of going in the same direction! I'll be interested in how you go about it

A colleague just mentioned they're involved! Very curious to see it

You know what works best for you.

My brain is noisey - competing & contradicting thoughts & feelings, running at high speed & high volume.

To rest, I often play loud rhythmic music to relax (shout out to techno, & Choral Chambers from Silksong) - it seems counterintuitive, but soothes the internal

Jumping on the phone with a friend can be enough to get me finishing mundane-yet-impossible tasks.

Sharing similar experiences with other neurodivergent folk reduced my feelings of frustration at not completing simple tasks or moving towards life goals, which made it easier to start doing both.

We take walks together to help reset our moods.

They sit and talk with whilst I tidy; I distract their baby when struggling with to keep up with emails.

This is also where other people can help.

I always felt like i had to hide the chaos that arises from my neurodivergence (I also have bipolar, which is its own wild ride)

But slowly, I've learned to reduce the shame that comes with it: as I opened up, others offered help, & it brought us closer

I only made progress getting over burnout with this practice.

It's difficult, but there will always more responsibilities; more to do.

I had to schedule my rest at the beginning & remind myself to be mindful.

Now my ambition is back along with my ability to pursue it.

Recognise when you need to rest.

This includes not thinking about what needs to be done: no planning, no thinking about the mess you need to clean-up or incoming deadlines.

Hide your phone to stop doom-scrolling.

Ease yourself into it, otherwise you're fighting against your brain - it *hates* change.

So, get back into it by small steps & build-up.

Getting back on a routine by trying to make up for lost time will only lead to burnout, & traps you in a cycle.

Instead, aim to build back consistency.

Same time. Same day. Set a thousand alarms if you need it to keep you in check ( I do.)

Ah thankyou 🫶

Aha danke 🙏
