ADHD & Choosing Self-Compassion through the Rollercoaster of Emotions
Description
Do you feel like you are on a roller coaster of emotions? Or maybe you find yourself stuck in an emotion, and while others have already moved on, you still feel the emotion with the same intensity as you first felt it.
We are raised to keep pushing through even when things get tough, even if it seems impossible. In this episode, we're going to talk about self-compassion and honoring your own needs during the inevitable lows of life. If you are ready to reinvent your idea of wellness after this episode, I have even more actionable and sustainable tips in my Wellness with ADHD Digital Course. Let's dive in!
"Wellness with ADHD comes with highs and lows. It comes with the fullness of life's experience, and it's not just one-sided, all positive, or all perfect. It's about taking care of ourselves as best as we can, as best as we know how to in every moment during the highs and lows."- Chelsea Uithoven.
