  • If something you are thinking about doing scares you and makes you want to retreat, it is a good indication that you are headed in the right direction. Change is hard, change is scary and change happens when we get ourselves out of our comfort zone.
  • I used to be a yelling mom. 😤 Everything was overwhelming, and I thought it was the only way to get my kids to listen. After learning more about myself, my triggers, and a lot of hard work, I learned to parent from a calmer place, and my home is better because of it.

But, the other day I lost it. I yelled in a way that instantly brought those feelings of guilt and shame that I used to feel each day. I immediately beat myself up and felt like I was failing as a mother. 

After that moment passed, I was able to reframe my experience. I am an adult who is having a hard time. Just because I had a bad moment doesn't mean I'm a bad parent.

❤️So, I apologized to my girls, admitted that I did not handle it how I would have liked to, and reconnected with them afterward. By focusing on self-compassion, I could forgive myself and focus on how far I've come. I used it as an opportunity to learn. What triggered me? How can I work with my kids to solve the problem that caused my big reaction? 

Even good parents yell sometimes, but what you do after has the greatest impact on your kids.

  • Living with ADHD feels like being stuck in a dark tunnel with twists and turns, and it seems like there is no way out. 

You try so many things, but nothing seems to work.

However, change is possible if you have the right tools.

As you begin to create your ADHD toolbox you will see that the tools you use will be different, and that's okay. As you learn how to use your tools, some things will continue to be challenging, and some things will become easier. Even though it is hard, you can emerge from the darkness. Once you do, you will see your unique path that leads to so many new possibilities.
 
What tools do you have in your toolbox?
