Mental Health Awareness – How Far We’ve Come

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder in May that health is not just physical, it’s mental too… and it especially matters in the deep mind-body connection.

Trees in May bloom can be a mental health awareness month reminder.

Each and every day is an opportunity for growth toward living better wellness and gaining mental health awareness that stems from our deeper insides.

Mental health is spiritual and linked to our spiritual well being that completes the mind-body-spirit in us.

If you grow your spiritual sides, you’re exercising and growing mental health.

…Like lifting weights or your heart rate for your physical body health.

The heart and mind are closely related and getting quiet time allows you to tap into those spiritual feeling-thought areas that make up our daily mental health.

You can think of your spirit as your heart that often refers to your gut feelings (that aren’t actually in the gut). The effect is a gut-heart connection.

We already know there’s a stomach gut-mind connection as most of our happy hormones are made in the gut that affect how we feel and think.

Essentially when we exercise our right to re-route our negative thoughts and flip them to positive and loving ones, we do ourselves a world of good.

We bypass bad thoughts and feelings resulting in some form of misery that’s unessential for us to grow.

Mental health awareness (wellness) allows us to see and observe that they’re related and happening inside us.

It’s deep and not easy to see what our own minds are thinking and even more obscure to see what our hearts are thinking at any moment…

And it’s even more challenging with mental health disorder filters or if temporary inflicted by common states like anxiety.

These ways cloud views, so keeping up wellness and living balanced is what I’m passionate about.

And bringing our awareness to present moments helps us process what’s going on at any time.

Also relationships make great mirrors in what we communicate verbally and non-verbally. 🪞

We can find out what’s going on with us.

And make happy mental health changes, so we’re free to live our most fulfilled lives!

Happiness was not talked about when I was growing up. And wellness was not something mentioned in the Corporate America jobs I held for decades.

So Mental Health Awareness Month is one of the several recognized events throughout the year to keep a reminder going… and to recognize how far we’ve come.

It’s a way to celebrate strides and not go back to our darker ways and pasts.

In the past, so many of us kept our mental health sides quiet and hidden. And generations before, even more so.

We’re a much more aware society, open to growth.

That’s something to healthy celebrate! 🎉

In the end, it’s our personal health that dictates what we can and can’t do…

And if you don’t know why you’ve suffered in relationships that are mirrors reflecting back, you probably have some hidden areas that need healing.

They’re hidden so you’ve never seen them and how getting them into view can change your mental health.

That’s what my journey taught me…

I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I saw a bright future forward and ahead, and never thought to look backward.

Until I was stuck. And I reaped opportunities to be in company with healers.

They made me realize forgiveness could bridge the gap to my wholeness.

That removed the subconscious blocks and made them conscious for healing.

Without wholeness that comes from healing, a person is never free from their imperfect past (that we all have no matter how much we enjoyed our childhood).

And if there is a current triggered situation in life, that can be an opportunity to clear out the past cobwebs.

And remove being a prisoner to the ego mind that’ll subconsciously make the situation worse.

That robs joy and happiness.

…In the one life you and I get.

…We’re here to evolve and get better and whole.

And that’s up to each of us.

Best remedies any of us can apply in mental health awareness is self-care that can include: yoga, meditation, nature walks, church, connectedness and all of the above.

And in those moments, you can gather answers to:

Are you healed from your past? Or do you still carry burdens?

…And maybe a current life problem is helping you to get to root causes.

Mental health awareness blockages means there’s some healing needed.

Some signs to look for:

You can’t talk about your past, sob deeply, or get defensive about certain triggering situations or people.

Witness the words you use and say, and if they are being defensive or blaming others.

Have you forgiven those who hurt you? It doesn’t matter if they knew what they did to you or not… OR whether or not they can apologize today. Those would be good if they restored the peace, but usually we’re in situations where we can’t get that closure.

But you can get forgiveness so you can heal and move healthy and happy on.

Doing this in a retreat or healing session with others is good because then you know for certain it happened as you have an event to remember and wasn’t just a few thoughts you had.

Also, do you ruminate on the same past thoughts?

If you do, you have to get closure or clarity, or you’ll always be carrying the burden of feeling stuck.

Clarity feels like peace and maybe even being able to laugh at some of the things that happened that were so traumatic before. They helped you grow to your wholeness and maybe even help others going through similar challenges.

Remember the saying, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”

And feeling sorry for those who don’t know any better helps you have compassion for others.

Often it’s mental health that becomes the barrier to do better.

Because hurt people, hurt people.

And when you’re healed, you can see that clearly.

That goes beyond your past, processing, and forgiving and creating a new way to look at the past.

Then you can be the answer to people around you needing answers to their problems.

…And when you do, you can realize how far you’ve come! 🙌

Be well and Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!!

Mental Health Is Spiritual

Mental health matters as part of our spiritual earthly existence.

Every day matters. And every morning when we start the day matters.

mental health can be watching sunrise. — A good mental health morning exercise can be watching sunrise.

The meaning and feelings we carry into our day determine how the day will go in our situations… like on this eventful sunrise morning I watched on the day that the new Pope was announced. 🌅

The day before, I didn’t know why the live event I was planning to go to near me was cancelled.

…Other than the obvious that the speaker had an event conflict.

…But I know in this miracle spiritual existence that there was more to it. There’s a part two in life, and that’s not a coincidence.

Situations playing out are NOT random.

And that’s important to know.

That it’s not just about the earthy situations that play out.

There’s something bigger going on above us.

…I’ve been living on earth long enough spiritually with Mother Nature and Father God to know… and appreciate.

And you may too know there are spiritual forces going on in our heavenly realm that affect our life on this green earth. Thank God!

And on this particular day, the stars aligned for a good spiritual reason.

I was part of that unfolding (and so were you).

…wherever we are on this planet.

Life plays out and when we show up in the present, we get to see the happenings in 3-D motion picture.

That’s a gift. 🎁

…And a good reminder for any of us to treat each day special (…and to take frequent mental health breaks).

Life’s too short to spare any days from feeling joy.

Life is a gift in smaller miracle moments… like young children happy or happy crying, but they don’t have the older minds to express why they’re deeply moved.

…Or why you feel unexplainable chills at certain times that you know come from a connected source a million miles away.

There are some times when there’s no explanation for why something happened (or was supposed to happen but it didn’t).

As random as it can seem, it’s all so organized and planned. And that’s why life is amazing!

…And miraculous.

Miracles touch our lives and constantly shape and re-route us into change from our earlier, less mature thinking ways.

Reflecting on the past helps to remind us that we are meant to keep growing. We also celebrate how far we’ve come.

When we have good mental health, we recognize life growth and opportunities are in the ordinary experiences that life serves up… not just big events.

And it’s not just up to us.

…That’s what I used to think.

It’s more like a life dance where we make a move and then wait-and-see.

We show up and then see what happens while we play.

Life is made like a game so we don’t get bored.

While you’re doing life… as you figure out how you best fit in and keep playing your best game, finding your spiritual pieces grows you.

Awareness helps your mental health.

Because life won’t slow down and building you inner self makes everything in life more alive and better.

…And Especially because life turns out a lot different than what we hoped for.

Through our trial experiences and long waiting, we’ve grown.

And that helps our mental health.

Learning from old mindset placeholders that were not so healthy helps to transform us.

…And flexibly not sticking only to familiarity.

Those earlier ways prepared us to be shaped for new growth…

Spiritual personal growth.

Allowing yourself to change is spiritually healthy where the infinite possibilities grow.

….Today I know that when I randomly turn my head when I could be looking straight ahead, that was a purpose call to make me look at something… and not miss it!

…And maybe for others, to not miss their something (like this message).

Miracles are happening every day… and in every moment… within you.

And when you choose to flip-the-script from doubtful thoughts that can intercept and re-appear from no where, that is how you’ll appreciate your life and strengthen your mental health in the moment.

Inner spiritual growth grows your mental health.

And good mental health provides opportunity for spiritual growth.

Daily, we’re fighting with our minds against spiritual warfare running alongside miracles.

That’s a battle going on in the Universe and that shows up as a struggle in our minds that we can’t see and whether we choose to believe or not.

A spiritual intervention can save you.

On my journey, I had a divine intervention that was so loud it uprooted my life. At the time it looked like a mental health breakdown….

But it was the bridge that re-routed me to my purpose calling.

And as odd as they may be, as long as you’re not hurting others or harming yourself, inviting in unconventional divine interventions can be part of your ordinary way to live.

They help to tear down what’s holding any of us back, that we can’t see in our routine life.

They open us up to real happiness in this life… and share truth about what’s ahead.

They helped me call out my ego… and now I know the enemy I’m facing (that I was once blind to).

…It’s not people or situations in this life.

About maybe you’re wondering if you ever had a spiritual intervention or how to experience one…

You would know if you had… and to experience, you would need to open yourself to a different life than the one you live now.

And maybe you’re wondering why haven’t you felt your spirit move or intervene as people like me describe.

You probably have, but were too busy listening to and doing culture’s ways.

Your calendar was full.

And there was no spirit listening time scheduled.

Because the spirits listens to you all day and whispers to you on a quiet frequency…

And to hear, a willing heart is required.

…And good mental health is needed.

Those are the physical requirements… or you’ll likely miss it.

…And then miss your authentic life.

…And empowered happiness that’s available all the time.

Where you’re never feeling alone whether you’re single or married.

I know this deeply because this has been my spiritual and mental health growth journey.

The journey path wasn’t what I dreamt of.

…I didn’t sign up for what came my way.

But my call was to keep going and growing and that’s when personal growth showed up that required my strength and mental health.

All so I could find my missions I was born for.

…Where when you think about it, you and I won life’s lottery beating the odds when we were born.

And your mission… should you choose to accept it, is to find out what you were authentically born for.

Calm Mind Best Way Ever

Calm mind is an aspiration often when you’re served up stressful situations in life… from work, family, or friendships that you balance in your life wheel.

A sign that this is not your practice life and life is not a dress rehearsal are good reminders to live a calm mind life as the secret to health and happiness. — Reminder: you get one life to live well 😊

The sooner you practice a calm mind and mindset, create boundaries, and step higher than your face-value situations…

…The better your life and work-life balance.

For the ONE life you get.

And during stressful testing times, the best way to calm your mind is to give the mind a way out.

This article is about how to calm your mind.

Because first off… you are not your mind, but the mind is in you.

Separating yourself as the choice and decision maker (that your mind is not) is your way out… and away from stress and toward your calm, peace, and happiness.

They are opposite directions where you get to choose which way you go. ⬅️➡️

You can take subtle, enjoyable baby steps toward the better direction choice using calm mind apps and daily music therapy 🎶 that will help turn the tide.

Those are the Ayurvedic ways I love. 🧡

But they subtly work in the background, so you won’t necessarily know they worked because they gradually turn the tide from the inside-out into the right direction (mind-body calm and peace).

Using your sense of sight, smell, hearing, and touch are all part of the prescription… and they are Ayurvedic comforting and add joy to your daily life. So why not?

…Gotta love that!

And when you have a loud interfering monkey mind 🙉 that swarms in worry or high ego-drama unrest in your mind, feeling good again is the goal.

To break out of those clouded mind moments or seasons, you would need to shout back at your untouchable and unseen ego that’s your then-invisible enemy in play that’s blocking truth, love, and peace.

At the root, your ego’s job is to protect you in survival situations… to get you to act and react to save your life if a tiger is chasing you.

But in modern daily life, it’s a detriment as ego goes overboard in its protective role!

Shutting off your ego (that shows up as pride) is the answer in most modern stressful situations.

It’s never your fault that your ego acts up due to situational triggers.

…But it is completely up to you how you want it to play out. And if healthy and happy is your goal, then the following tips will help support this…

Lowering ego is the restoring way back to your happiness and inner love-peace.

But not so easy is shutting off others… and actually impossible to do!

So you need to manage those situations.

Because misery is an option that adds zero daily benefits.

I know this well through many trials and situations…

I grew up and lived most my life in the DC metro area where egos fly high in close proximity to America’s politically charged circles where heads butt.

And that permeates in the local air and work environments close by outside of politics.

Pride in ego runs high and causes riffs anywhere in the world.

The problem is: everyone thinks it’s normal.

So it has been normalized. And even congratulated by people (through their egos) in the wins that are sometimes harmful.

This “normal” way trickles down into how we day-to-day operate and our relationships at work, and with family and friends.

But you can rise higher for a better calm mind AND life…

In your daily circles, when you have conflicts and tough situations that you may often grin and bear, do a healthy action that frees your mind from the ego bondage…

To escape from the trappings of you ego, look for an out that will settle your mind.

This is especially useful and needed for your happiness if you are being treated unfairly or feeling displeasure from other people’s ways.

Take the mind-out of the situation by creating options.

And when you have options, your ego mind is no longer a prisoner.

It’s set free and so are you! 🎉

Example: your under-stress boss demands undesired actions from you creating a miserable work environment for you. While you may do the tasks begrudgingly to keep your job (that’s important to keep a roof over your head), in your free time, lunch break, or evenings, start proactively looking for other jobs.

This will subtly show your ego-mind that you have options (and are not trapped) and then you will feel better about your life and situation.

You are free from your ego’s captivity.

And you may even find the job of your dreams in the process!

Another example: your spouse or partner has been taking things out on you or bringing their negative emotional energy that has caused arguments between the two of you. Let the other person work out their unrest issues themselves. Start spending more time with your productive activities and friendships.

Because you can’t control or change other adult’s behaviors and actions.

That’s the bottomline.

Changing people is not the answer.

Provide the information they need, but it’s up to them to come up with their conclusions as it is for you to come up with yours and your peace of mind.

That’s the peacemaking way that will add years to your calm mind life…

And that protects your mind from the ugly ego (yours and theirs) rearing its ugly head in your situations… where anger, resentment, or taking out on other areas grow.

You’re likely served up these type of situations from most people in the world, and specifically those who aren’t as evolved… and letting their ego invisibly and cunningly play them.

In those times, the high ego person may even commonly accuse you of what they are actually going through if you’re in their regular or daily path.

BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE AREN’T AWARE OF THEIR EGO. AND IF THEY ARE, THEY ARE BEING PLAYED IN THEIR STRESSFUL SITUATIONS, UNTIL THEY STEP OUT.

As someone who considers herself evolved 🙋🏻‍♀️… for me, it still takes a while to step out of ego’s loud ways and see what’s going on.

And I completely remember the days when I had no clue I was being played.

But information is power!

Breaking out of old mindsets is a worthy fight for a calm mind and inner peace.

And the more practice, the easier it gets…

It sounds ridiculous (and to the ego that effort needs to be made), but my dear friend… the daily effort is the path to happiness.

Effort is the way out of stressful situations with people who walk around not knowing their ego (enemy) is playing them.

And all of us who are doing modern life have experienced people’s ego rearing their ugly heads.

You don’t have to turn far to find examples.

And if you’re in those situations now, don’t play the ego game served up.

Most importantly, don’t further enable bad behavior.

Train the ego person with your boundaries:

Love the person, but hate their behavior.

Be calm and kind, but firm.

Don’t let others manipulate you because they are persistent (e.g. kids can be the worst ego maniacs because they know no better).

It will only get worse if you say yes… to both ego adults or kids.

Stand your ground no matter how you feel in the moment… or the fear you feel creeping up in your that the ego is drumming up.

Rise higher to the opposite that’s love (that the Universe is full of).

Stand your ground with tough love that may feel harsh, but you and the ego-other will be grateful later.

Don’t let your ego block and blind you from seeing the harm that’s so common.

I can see ego-action from a mile away now (informed), and as you learn more you will be able to too! 😊

Ego is the danger for most people where they can’t see what’s going on in their mind and play-by-play actions in them or others’ egos.

Ego-blinding in you or others happen if you don’t consistently pay attention no matter how busy you are… 🙈

Use loss of sleep, appetite, gray hairs, sudden pimples, and body aches for no physical reason as more obvious signs something undesirable is happening to you!

A.K.A ego situations are near.

To catch all this, slow down, be aware and sensitized, and witness what’s happening…

Use your deep breathing present moments to slow down to see clearer and insight into what’s going on.

This is where time on your yoga mat or quiet chair help so you’re more sensitive of your symptoms that are more easy to spot.

Think of it as a diagnoses session where you get your calm mind peace and years back!

Because your body and loving, peaceful mind don’t lie (like the ego does in your busy moments).

And you can use this revealing body balance quiz to help you see what’s going on with your body and mind-body today from your body symptoms POV.

It’s like seeing the printed words on your car side mirror: objects are closer than they appear.

Or the nearby signs.

But in daily myopia and ego-blindness, we don’t see the signs.

When we become aware and get close-sight clarity, then you can see what’s happening in your stressful situations.

You can effectively calm your mind… AND use those stressful situations to make positive impact in your life.

AND OH, this is the best part of stress that makes it healthy good and worthwhile!…

If you’ve already spent or wasted hours or days on a stressful situation that robbed you of joy and peace, you might as well turn your victimhood into something useful in life (and help others going through similar situations).

…like I’m intently doing here in this article I wrote. 😊

I learned at one of my early-on jobs that you teach others how to treat you in life. I use that as a guiding mantra.

And you can too, to set healthy boundaries with others to get your calm mind, peace, happiness, and time back.

You’ve probably heard before that kids need… and LIKE boundaries.

They actually like ’em. And as grown up kids, adults do too!

So embrace that counterintuitive way in your daily situations.

That’s how you’ll get your calm life you aspire to.

And remember, tough love is a good thing for everyone. 🎉

ADHD Can Be Improved with Self Control

ADHD is a way to describe the unfocused nature that Ayurvedic Vata anxious minds possess that we accept as part of us.

But we don’t have to lean into the negative parts…

This “Be Kind” note-to-self message wall. 💕

We can be kind to ourselves.

Because ADHD symptoms usually shows up as inattentiveness, unfocused concentration, and scatter-brained thinking.

ADHD usually shows up as impulsive behaviors and actions that don’t match up or align with what’s said. The inconsistent actions often leave a trail of of regretful, bad decisions or impressions on others who have close interactions. The behaviors appear non-logical and without rhyme or reason.

Blame this on brain hyperactivity. 🧠

This can exacerbate and made worse from stress, anxiety, or wrong medications.

Those descriptors can describe a lot of what’s happening in people and culture today.

And that we can witness firsthand with those we work with or alongside.

The problem is people want to stay away from those people and their behaviors.

If those are leaders or bosses, we lose respect for their ways and decisions that follow.

While you can’t change others, you can point out what you see, because the strong case ADHD symptoms aren’t visible to those affected.

It is them.

Like the side mirror saying printed word: “objects are closer than they appear” that is often missed.

And if you’re the one with ADHD, you can check-in with yourself to see how you appear to the world.

You can also learn to express yourself in better ways, so you’re not living in an undesired, less optimal way.

You can exchange a jumpy and impulsive brain that makes you want to hop around, and instead embrace thinking with a higher, spiritual lens.

As complicated as the gray matter is that we have inside us, we don’t know what causes ADHD in our evolved world.

We just know it exists.

But the symptoms can be minimized with better ways like a balanced life, self-control, and optimizing opportunity with brain fog that is often spiritual.

Whether the ADHD descriptive symptom traits describe your tendencies, loved ones, or those you work with, being aware can help grow your spiritual journey and personal growth in life.

You can use the mantra: never waste a hurt or growth opportunity.

So it’s fitting that this article is good for lifelong learners or those who aspire to be. Below is about how you can use ADHD tendencies to your benefit and help push you into higher growth that a presently mindful and spiritual-tuned up life often does.

You can improve your self-control (away from impulsive actions) that help to further develop patience and taking wise actions that produce better life results (than the initial actions that would have been from erratic and default ADHD thinking ways).

A good example of self-control is like waiting to purchase something costly… to allow time to know whether you really want or desire the item thing later on or if it’s just a fleeting impulsive feeling.

Spontaneity is good if it’s healthy, but if it leaves you (or your wallet) with regret then that can lead to unhappiness and unhealthy feelings and consequences.

So those are a few good reasons to possibly want to change ADHD symptoms in the first place.

And knowing how to do that is useful and practical life advice.

First off, there are many ways to look at ADHD.

One is that you could be born with anxious tendencies like dominant Vatas (in Ayurvedic terms).

Added to the ADHD mix, anxiety can cause a whole host of undesired ways.

In case you think that’s not you, we all have some traces of Vata in us like in our worry thoughts that’s a form of anxiety but in the mind.

It can also further set off imbalanced Kapha clingy or Pitta aggressive behaviors.

But more closely, ADHD is correlated with anxiety and Vata.

And ADHD with those symptoms IS curable with more love to conquer fear that anxiety and worry are rooted in.

And exercising self-control from creeping-in fear feelings is the best way to the cure.

Stop it at the entrance gate with good healthy habits.

Exercising peace is a form of self-control.

I was reminded of peace and love when I was posing in Prague up against the Lennon Wall representing “All You Need Is Love” (that originally came about during a time of war and upheavals)… Fear is the opposite of love.

…I remember the song from the Yellow Submarine record album 💿 I listened to on a record player as a child… in case you’re a Beatles fan or love record players?

The opposite of love is fear.

Fear is at the core of causes of war in people.

Fear is also primal and more deep than anxiety. Both worsen ADHD symptoms and can bring out the worst in ADHD affected people.

Fear is what drives most bad decisions.

So, running away from those fear-based thoughts in safe situations will help you get a better handle on ADHD symptoms as you align with your calm and loving sides.

From my own early-on past experiences, I know an unsafe life situation caused me to have an anxiety or panic attack.

That type of anxiety reaction can cause you to freeze as your body takes on uncontrollable body sensations like heart palpitations.

And similarly, ADHD can dominate your life in an uncontrollable, shocking way when you least expect.

At least temporarily.

And that can lead to unexplainable behaviors.

The best way to be armed is to be informed and self-aware.

Coming out of your situations, if you focus on the positives or what you learned that can help you in the future, you gain more clarity and ideas for changes you can make to your life that’s part of spiritual growth.

The Universe helps to meets you there, where you are, and where you will be.

…Maybe that’s on your yoga mat or quiet space before making big decisions. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Breathwork and aware-mindfulness can help take the edge off.

These are powerfully spiritual built-in ways we have to handle calming ourselves that also helps ADHD.

You can help draw yourself to the present moment space that makes you more self-aware and deeply aware of your inner self as part of the journey toward spiritual growth.

At the very least you’re moving away from negative energy in present moment awareness.

And that carries into your day.

…That’s not coincidence.

That’s the energy you carry that radiates into the world and back to you like a boomerang and attracts the things and right people into your life. ✨

The Law of Attraction is a spiritual lens.

Baby step one can be: find a positive in any situation that appears negative overall.

The reframing habit is life-giving.

And giving life in the present is a gift.

It can help free you from closely-tied worry and fear-based thoughts that exacerbate ADHD.

Those thoughts start in the unconscious or subconscious mind and affect the body in emotions and physical stress-inflammation, if not protected.

…And produce scattered thoughts, unclarity, and worsen ADHD symptoms.

But you can de-sensitize from the emotional drama the ego mind wants to pull you into.

…I know that’s not easy because ego is the equivalent of having a bullhorn in your ear without the physical object as a visual. 📢.

But if you exercise vigilant awareness and self-control effort, you can re-route your thoughts and put yourself in the healthy mindset and actions that will help bypass the negative and recurring mind spin cycle that’s often found in ADHD occurrences.

Because we don’t generate all our thoughts. 💭

The subsconscious ego rooted inside all of us will rip positives and blow up negative energy. It will have a field day with your thoughts if you allow.

And ADHD is a perfect platform for ego to thrive in.

And that’s not a field trip any of us want to take.

So exercising self-control and keeping aware and alert in your mind’s eyes will change that trajectory! 👀 Be on guard to witness your thoughts as an observer.

Don’t let the mind just wander or you’ll be walking around with a cloud over your head (not fully present). And that can lead to bad ADHD impulsive decisions.

There are simple things you can do: pray, take walks and warm showers, do yoga, pay attention to nature outside, and listen to warm, feel-good music that inspires you.

Shake it off!

By slowly doing the things that restore Ayurvedic mind-body balance, you can bounce back faster.

And then on one ordinary hour, the sun will appear back out. ☀️

That’s how you can also help any ADHD symptoms along.

Exercise self-control and purposefully walk away and distract yourself in a healthy way.

Have a calming and inspiring activity ready to go like journaling or knitting so you don’t do something impulsive you’ll regret.

That’s positive self-control.

And then you may just discover a new passion or path that’s also part of your spiritual growth.

You can purposefully open doors to learn something new.

A visual would be like the American TV game show, The Price is Right, where a game’s winning answer is usually covered.

After contestants shout out an answer, they learn quickly if it’s the right one… and sometimes they get to try again.

Similarly, stepping out into spiritual faith is when you don’t see but believe that there is a blueprint on your life already planned out.

Landing on the right ones is a matter of timing and trying like you would do in playing joyful games.

Strengthening your faith, you can call up the better (non-ADHD) ways automatically served up by the mind.

Freedom comes from calling out and knowing what you’re facing and getting answers spiritually already inside you waiting for your response.

Literally, you can call out, “I have ADHD” and that’s liberating because now your spirit can help you in awareness, meeting you where you are.

And in our Universe, most people accept ADHD and know what that generally is so they will understand if you act funny and can even sympathize and joke with you about it to help you get through moments.

Making it (ADHD) okay allows less stress into your life and especially in a more sympathetic world that we now live in than from the past where vulnerability sharing was frowned upon.

Today, you can surround yourself with forgiveness and start with forgiving yourself for your quirky abilities that make you uniquely you.

…And finally, slow down.

Remember the old saying that it’s about the (quality) moments that take your breath away and not how many breaths you take. Use that as your ADHD mantra. 💨

Ujjayi energy breathing is a good practice.

You’re not stuck with the ways of how you started your day today… or from your childhood.

We start life with hopeful, rosy glasses and the playbook ends up very different and better if we exercise better habits and self-control.

That’s the best way through life.

And when life doesn’t go as planned or there’s a bend that’s par for the course, you get to grow in your deeper spiritual self ways like with self-control, and becoming more humble.

You get to develop your empowered happiness that’s so much more impactful than temporary happiness.

And in that way, ADHD doesn’t have to be a full life sentence or the life you live out today.

It’s changeable (as our bodies and we are). It depends on you and the choices you make. 💕
