You know that life you’ve been trying to build?
The unapologetic one where you’re totally comfortable being your neurodivergent self?
I’ve got a framework for that, and it’s a bit like a three legged stool. 🪑
Leg one: Acceptance.
It’s all about embracing the beautiful chaos that is you. Understanding your unique neurodivergence and how it shows up in your life, adjusting your expectations, and rebuilding self-trust.
Basically, it’s a big ol’ hug to your brain, saying, “Hey, we’ve been playing this game on hard mode, and it’s okay.”
Leg two: Self-care.
AKA your personal burnout recovery and prevention plan. It’s about looking after your physical self, your mental health, your emotional wellbeing, and your nervous system.
Picture it like a spa day, but for your whole being!
Leg three: Integration.
This is the part where you take all that acceptance and self-care and turn it into your daily groove. It involves mastering decision-making skills, learning your own set of strategies and coping skills, figuring out when and how to unmask, and becoming a boss at setting boundaries.
If you’ve ever sat on a wobbly stool, you know it’s all fun and games until one leg is shorter than the others, right? 😅 Same concept here.
Each leg plays an important role in keeping the stool stable.
When all three parts of our framework—Acceptance, Self-Care, and Integration—are working in harmony, that’s when you’ll be sitting pretty on a stool of stability.
Miss a leg, and life feels like a never-ending game of musical chairs. But with all three? That’s when you start living your unapologetically authentic life.
It’s the harmony of the trio that makes life less of a stumble and more of a groove.
So, ready to keep the stool steady?
