Stay Focused

Does anyone else with ADD make an strong effort to focus on focusing that they focus to hard and they forget what he/she is supposed to be focus on to begin with that needed to be focused on?

Me Introvert: I just want some time alone

Loved One Extrovert: Why? Did I do something?

Me Introvert: No! You did nothing wrong. I just need sometime to myself for a bit.

Loved On Extrovert: What happened? Was it me? Was it someone at work? What is wrong?

Me Introvert: Nothing is really wrong. I just need some alone time to "recharge" myself.

Loved One Extrovert: If you need to "recharge" let's go get coffee. Let's go hang out with friends. Let's go do something. If something is wrong please tell me.

Me Introvert: *deep breath* There is nothing wrong...right now. I just needs Alone Time. Just me time. Your suggestions sound like fun. Just not now. Later. Let's plan something. Right now for the future. I am not in the right mind frame to socialize. I need some alone time, space, solitude or recharging time to myself. Please understand.

Loved One Extrovert: I do not understand. Are you depressed? Let's go do somsomething. Get you out in the world.

Me Introvert: *Yells and screams internally in ones head*

What do you need MORE of, introverts? 😊

[roamingimgination]

As an introvert, or the “quiet one,” it’s sometimes hard for others to tell what I’m thinking or feeling. Communicating things verbally doesn’t always come easy for me, and honestly, I’m not very good at being vulnerable. It often takes a (really) long time for me to feel comfortable around most people. But after I let down my walls and really start to care for someone, I’m all in.

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.”

Ways to Fill Notebooks

I don’t think I am the first, or the last, person to struggle with the an painful urge to buy notebooks and have absolutely no way to fill them. And a lot of the time I am too lazy or too unorganized to remember to write in them, and they continue to go untouched or half-filled and judged for eternity (or until I throw them out). 

Well, I think I have found some ways to fill up those notebooks!

1. JOURNAL PROMPTS

This is my personal favorite way to fill a notebook. I love to look up journal prompts on tumblr or pinterest and just write from what pops into my head. Sometimes it’s a creative writing prompts, sometimes it’s an interpersonal prompt, and sometimes it’s just a list of what I ate that day. It doesn’t matter; it gets my pen moving and my notebooks filled. Here are some of my favorite prompts:

Today I am proud because I … 

Write about what memory you would use to cast the patronus charm. 

Write about a tree. Any tree. 

What am I feeling and why? Do I want to change what I am feeling? How could I do that? 

2.  SPIRITUALITY JOURNAL 

I have recently found myself very interested in spirituality, and have found it to be a great journaling prompt in and of itself. (If you aren’t interested in it, or don’t want to write about it, feel free to ignore this idea.) I, personally, am writing about my connection with the earth and what I believe in. I also use this journal to write about self-care and how that connects to my spirituality. This is really an open-ended prompt, and one you can run with!

3. BULLET JOURNAL

We all know it; we all love it … The Bullet Journal is a tried and true method to fill up notebooks–and keep track of your life. I am setting up my bullet journal right now for 2019 and am super excited! I can’t even pretend to know what I’m doing, let alone instruct you how to do it, so I recommend you do your own research if you’re interested. There are tons of resources for bujo how-to and set-ups on tumblr, youtube and pinterest. 

4. NIGHT-TIME CHECK-OFF

My night-time journal is one of my all-time favorite journals. It’s the perfect way for me to wind down after a hectic day. Every night I write down 3 things: 

1. 3 things I did that I am proud of that day

2. 3 things that I am grateful for that day

3. My intention for tomorrow 

I usually do this before I meditate but after I change into pajamas and brush my teeth. This is the beginning of calming down my mind for bed, and I absolutely love it.

5.  SKETCHBOOK

I love, love, love my sketchbook. It is such a good way for me to creatively barf my ideas onto paper. Sometimes they look great! And sometimes not so much. But that’s the point of a sketchbook. If you’ve never had one before, and are interested, I highly suggest you try it out. Still unsure about a sketchbook? Try:

6. ART JOURNAL

Art journals are awesome! They’re a mix between a journal, sketchbook, and scrapbook, and take zero artistic experience. In fact, the messier the better! This is another journal that the internet can help you find inspiration with. YouTube is a great place for aspiring art journalers, and so is pinterest and tumblr.
