hey strangers in the notes feeling overwhelmed by this list! i get you. i have a lot of decision paralysis sometimes too, there are so many things you can try and how do you even know where to start? and what’s going to be helpful?
i have adhd, and personally love the element of novelty and chance for breaking me out of gridlock, so i made a randomized wheel for options. if you’re new to this, let it give you a starting point and consider that an invitation to try something new and see how you feel about it! everyone’s nervous system is different and needs different things, so there’s no right or wrong.
