Are you avoiding putting things on your schedule and wondering if you're underscheduled? Do you worry that you can only handle one thing per day because you need time to psych yourself up beforehand and recover from the fatigue afterward? If you're a neurodivergent person who's found yourself in a season of avoidance—where even simple commitments feel overwhelming—this episode is for you. We're exploring why this happens, what your body might be trying to tell you, and how to gently re-engage with life on your terms. But wait - is avoidance actually your current challenge? If you're currently in an overscheduling phase where you're saying yes to everything and feeling constantly overwhelmed, you might want to listen to last week's episode first: "The Overscheduled Trap: Why ADHD Brains Say Yes to Everything (And How to Break Free)." Many of us swing between these two extremes, so start wherever feels most relevant to your current experience!

Your nervous system might be creating space for necessary healing and recovery. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 There's a difference between avoiding something because it's genuinely not good for you and avoiding something because fear or past trauma is keeping you stuck. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 If you're in burnout or healing from overwhelm, your capacity will fluctuate. Honor where you are today rather than forcing yourself to be where you think you "should" be.
