In a world that often glorifies stepping out of one's comfort zone, it's crucial to recognize that for individuals with ADHD, stability and self-awareness aren't synonymous with complacency. Rather, they serve as cornerstones for navigating the complexities of daily life.Living with ADHD comes with its unique set of challenges, one of which is the need for a certain level of order and stability. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't about shying away from new experiences; it's about creating an environment conducive to managing the symptoms of ADHD effectively. For many, myself included, stability isn't just a preference; it's a necessity...

Your logistical and energy limits are not a reflection of anyone else and need not be taken as a personal attack. 💯 Limits on your mental space, personal space, energy, when you will and will not connect and who you do or do not have time for etc: boundaries protect your *right* to choices which is what personhood is about, you're not an inanimate object that random people can lay claim on. Your right to choices doesn't infringe on others. You're not denying them of anything as much as some will act victimized by your limits, let them. As long...

Your "potential" is what makes you happy, healthy, and financially secure. I am not interested in living up to anyone else's "dreams" for me, nor am I interested in "scaling up" to a level that hijacks my time off/constantly training new staff. I do what fits my health. Period. The minute my business starts to push on my gym time, streams will be cut.  If someone else wants a bigger scale business, they can go build their own. If undercutting my potential safeguards my sanity, disability, do-not-disturb time off: so be it. My business is also digital-only and by design...
