When the Old Version of You Pulls Back
Progress has a pull in both directions. The better things start going, the harder the pull back towards old patterns tends to be. This isn't failure. It's not proof the work doesn't work. It's the oldest version of you reasserting itself. And it deserves a proper response.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/when-the-old-version-of-you-pulls-back/
The Step Didn’t Fix It. That’s Fine.
You took the step. Nothing dramatic happened. No clarity arrived. It felt more or less the same as before. That's not a sign the direction was wrong. That's what a real step looks like when the imagined version gets stripped away. The anticlimax is part of it.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/the-step-didnt-fix-it-thats-fine/
The Step You Keep Almost Taking
You know what the next move is. You've written it down. You've seen it across your journal entries. You keep almost making it. This isn't about fear or laziness. It's about waiting for readiness that only ever comes through the step itself. So make the step smaller.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/04/30/the-step-you-keep-almost-taking/

Understanding ADHD Testing: What to Expect

So much of ADHD can be boiled down to "I'll just"...
I'll just be a minute!
I'll just finish this thing I do which I love and is neverending, then move on to that urgent task.
I'll just leave this here for now.
I'll just call them later.
I'll just put on my all-is-fine mask.

Self publishing guides: develop a social media strategy.
My ADHD brain: Sure. Oh, what's this? Not related to books but so cool! Oh, new platform, shiny! Join and open a group. And a sub. and a server. But I don't wanna do social media today. This week. Month. Oh, cat videos!!

In proper #ADHD form, the blog I was so excited about 2 months ago will now gather dust until I come up with another use for it.
Adult #adhd is a reality. I speak from experience: Diagnosed at 60. People around me said "That explains a lot." Wish it had happened 50 years earlier.
Check it out. Find out. Step out of the shadows, whatever your age. #adhdawareness #adhdadult
