Things I’m thinking about as the year shifts
I’m not a New Year resolution kind of person. As an AuDHDer, I find it very difficult to stick to new goals with a lot of components.
So this year, I’m focusing on my “blind spots” from past years leading up to the new year. In the past, I’ve been rushing around so much that I forget to live, I’ve become obsessed with weight and fitness, and always longing for the newest coolest insert new item here
This year, I’m looking forward to a shift in perspective. I have an immense amount of gratitude for this mind that feels lighter than previous years, my body that keeps me safe, and grateful for what I already have.

As the year draws to a close, many reflect on their personal journeys and the lessons learned. For neurodivergent individuals, such as those with ADHD or autism, this introspection can lead to valuable insights. Focusing on gratitude shifts the narrative towards appreciation of life's simple joys, rather than material possessions. Healthy habits, such as nurturing oneself and practicing mindfulness, contribute significantly to mental well-being. Taking time to unwind allows for a deeper connection with one's thoughts and emotions, enabling clarity and purpose. In this transitional period, consider setting goals that align with your personal growth rather than societal expectations. Embrace the individual journey of self-discovery and prioritize that which fosters happiness and fulfillment. Each year is an opportunity for renewal, so cherish the process of becoming your best self through moments of reflection and self-compassion.
