146 Self-Awareness vs. Solutions

You may have been told that you're "so self-aware," yet struggle to actually implement solutions. In the moment, you might be lacking the support, the executive function, the initiation energy, etc. Introspection and self-awareness are great, but they're not the end of the process.

145 Mediocrity is a Needed Step

In the context of learning a musical instrument, it's obvious that there's a period of not being good at it. Whether you call it mediocrity or a skill gap, there's often a gap between where you are and where you want to be. There are many cases in which we can only improve by doing, trying, and yes, failing. It's uncomfortable and that's normal. You don't have to like it, but it is a step in learning or improving. I HATE IT. And I also know it's going to happen. AUDHD FLOURISHING RESOURCES: 1.

144 Don't Do All the Things

Trying to do all of the things, all of the time is a recipe for being stuck. Instead, do some of the things, some of the time.
