WAIT I LOVE THIS - Blog Posts

Theyve been marinating in my brain.

One of the most helpful things I've learned to do with ADHD is when I need to start a task, I don't think "I need to do this task" I think "I need to do (first step of task)".

I don't tell myself "I need to wash the dishes piling up in the sink." I tell myself "I need to get the scrub brush and turn on the facuet." That's easy, so I do it and bam, I've started the task.

"I need to brush my teeth" -> "I need to get my toothbrush wet and put toothpaste on it."

"I need to write this essay" -> "I need to pull up the assignment guidelines and open a word doc."

"I need to go to the store." -> "I need to put on my shoes."

Tasks are easily overwhelming when you constantly think about them in their entirety, so picking the most immediate part you need to so and only focusing/doing that helps to get you to start it with less anexity & stress.

✨Encantober #17✨Miracle

Three younglings hatching from a single egg is a Miracle.

Pepa of the Flame is fierce and feared. She knows the names of not less than seven elemental spirits. Cross with her and your house will be flooded, your crop will wither and your cattle will be hit by lightning on a sunny day.

Julieta the Healer is kind and wise. She cares for witches, animals and humans alike. Her knowledge of healing herbs and potent potions is unparalleled. (Some whisper she can even recover the dead, if offered the right reward.)

A male witch is a rarity, dreaded by humans and despised by their own kin. Bruno the Witcher disguises himself as a magician; you can find him on market squares, where he tells stories through colourful illusions. Be warned! He is said to have the inner eye - by mere touch he can see into your soul and read your fate.

(A witch-mother is expected to dispose of any male offsprings, but Alma the Moth couldn't lose her miracle and raised her three children in secret. When she was found out, the young witches fled together to the human's world.)
