RESOURCES MENTIONED
I tried to “slow down” because I was bored with my work… and it actually made me feel worse. In this video I share what six weeks of experimenting taught me about ADHD boredom cycles, nervous system dysregulation, and why rest can feel unsafe when your brain is stuck in go-mode.
Why boredom hits every few years and makes us want to blow up our lives
When “slow living” spikes anxiety instead of easing it
The labs that clarified what was physiological vs psychological
Gentle routines that actually helped my energy and mood
How I’m rebuilding structure without white-knuckling productivity
A kinder way to decide what to keep, tweak, or let go
This video is for you if…
You’re ADHD-ish and get bored with your work on a 2–5 year cycle
Rest makes you antsy and you “can’t not do things”
You suspect stress hormones are part of the picture
You want calm structure and momentum without burning out
You crave more humanity online and less performative hustle
