  Burnout/Overwhelm and our Nervous System.

  Oct 3, 202636 minS3

  This is a big one to recognise about how often we all get overwhelmed in various ways, burnt out and how that affects our nervous system in society and the world today. This is ten times easier to happen and worse to deal with when you're neurodiverse, but I also feel so many neurotypical people are living this way without even realising too. We have to find ways to get out of living in survival mode and to calm our nervous system before it keeps manifesting into physical issues along with mental & emotional struggles.

  How easy it is to deflect feelings (and why we shouldn't.)

  Oct 2, 202651 minS3

  So many of us have become masters of avoiding feelings (especially painful ones) and we live in a time where there's SO many distractions available and things that want your energy & focus. These feelings don't go away, they fester under the surface, quietly affecting your behaviour and your energy...bubbling away until they eventually burst out in some way. We're human beings, we need to allow ourselves to feel the full spectrum of emotions, and that can't be wanting the good but avoiding the bad. It's all or nothing, and nothing is a miserable existence. My experience showed where my mind had sneaky ways of trying to keep me away from feeling to supposedly 'protect' me, but thankfully my body highlighted it this time. Do you recognise anything similar?

  The transition period between old and new you.

  Oct 1, 202630 minS3

  When we've grown and changed so much we often presume old habits, thoughts, patterns etc will stop altogether, so we punish ourselves for not being far enough along when they crop up. Growth isn't linear, and it's transitioning between the old you and the new you. Of course remnants of old you will appear at times... Don't beat yourself up or throw in the towel when you're in that zone, it keeps getting better and there are ways to recognise it as nothing but background noise rather than something to engage with and act on.

  Naming (and taming) the negative voice in your head.

  Sep 30, 202629 minS3

  We sometimes assume that once we get more confident or improve our mental health, that negative voice in our mind which keeps criticising us will stop talking... However, that can take a very long time or may not even be the case. Rather than waiting for it to stop, here's a couple of techniques I've learned which make all the difference.

  Does anyone even date in 2026?!

  Sep 29, 202632 minS3

  One thing I can't get my head around Is dating nowadays, especially online dating. Why is it such a terrible experience? Is it due to certain things I touch on about society today here? Does anyone find similar issues? Let me know!
