I do a lot of talking about what works, things to think about, things to try. In this episode I share some of who I used to be, better known as "what doesn't work" and also "what does work" for a 50 year old single dad solopreneur with ADHD and depression.

Is your inner voice as jerky as mine? I find it super helpful to process my plans out loud. Let's discuss!

The other areas that help me when my brain is chattering too much:

Nature

And not just any nature. NEW nature. A place I haven't been before helps engage my brain and quiets my chatter.

Meditation...

Sometimes opening myself up to more chatter is the way to go. Meditation is nonstop chatter for me. But getting good at being nonjudgmental about it, and getting into the habit of calmly redirecting my thinking...it helps!

Talking out loud!

When I'm talking out loud, my monster mind shuts up. I like that.

Talking to Yourself Out Loud is a Technology for Thinking

We usually do one or the other. We are being productive and on the go, go, go...or we are in self-care mode and needing a break. Let's talk about this! I have opinions. I'd love to know yours.

The theme for this episode should be "Wednesday is going to happen". No matter how we feel about life, the depression, the overwhelm, the joy or the sorrow...Wednesday is still going to happen. And I would like to help us put a lasso around it and be the one in control of it.

This is a very timely episode. There are a couple of "I can't"s in my world. Exercise and meditating. Today I'll explain how that feels to me and what I'm doing about it.

Summary of my "Plan it in Advance" challenge:

1) Forget today. Set a timer for 10 minutes and plan the task for a specific time tomorrow.

2) For me, this is meditate minimum of 2 minutes and goal of 20 minutes...daily.

3) I win if I can do the planning in advance 30 days in a row.

4) Bonus if I meditate the full 20 minutes at least 3 times in those 30 days.
