The Questions we ask ???

Maybe it's not supposed to be easy for you. Maybe you're one of the rare few who can handle tough times and still choose to be a loving person. Maybe it's going how it's going because you're built for it. Maybe you still have time to be different and God would rather slow it all down and frustrate you than to let it keep going the way it is and fail you. Maybe it's just your time to refine. Maybe the pieces are being put in position and maybe it's not a test at all, maybe it's all being prepared for your own good and rushing it could ruin it... Maybe you're as different as you feel and maybe you'll stay strong long enough to teach other people to feel the same about themselves. Maybe we'll call it love. Maybe this is just the way your growth looks and it's okay to accept that. As long as you know you're giving it our all and the very best of you, keep going! Don't stress a thing. It's going to work out because you're not going to stop putting the work in.

Pursuing Your Purpose Over Grabbing the Bag

The Necessity of Motivation in Pursuit of Wealth 

Being a witch with ADHD can be contradictory at times. And now is one of them. I am confident that wealth follows and it does not lead. I am comfortable not leading my life in pursuit of wealth. However, I am still a human existing on this planet, a planet where wealth not only leads, but having some form of income is a necessity for survival. For most, a steady income is a necessity for creating a comfortable, safe, and healthy environment to prosper in this decaying world. 

I am in a position where I have less wealth than I ever have before, but I have also achieved more dreams than I ever have before. I am living in a place I have dreamed about since I was young. I am living among the mountains and the great glory of this Earth’s nature and all it has to offer. I am living with and building a family of humans and animals that love me greatly and our soulmates of mine. I am living as a witch who believes in my value and abilities. 

These things drive my passion, my hope, and my willingness to do more than simply survive. My willingness to always push to be thriving. What doesn’t drive this will to live fully is paid work, perceived achievement/success, and valuing profit. 

It is very difficult for me to “show up” as my full self or with 100% energy when I am not intrinsically motivated by the values I consider most important. These are things I typically do and express in spades. Especially, in critical situations and oftentimes to a fault or to the great annoyance of others. 

However, I’ve learned the hard way in my adult years that when I try to pursue things that don’t fulfill my soul purpose or innermost values, I not only fail, but I suffer greatly, relapse, and regress. 

ADHDilemma 

As I referenced in my introductory post, I was a high-achiever growing up. This is also a result of being an AFAB person and an empath with severe ADHD. I knew all the rules, I studied hard, I hyper-focused, I hyper-felt, I had way too many varied interests that were always changing, I wanted to win, to be loved as I was, and I took rejection and torment to heart. This allowed me to rise up as a star student, star sibling, star employee. I masked the qualities and behaviors that I was ashamed of or the ones that led to torment, rejection, or guilt. 

You see,  I could read other people and knew when I was upsetting them or when they were intentionally upsetting me. This made it easy to designate different emotions, behaviors, reactions, and conflicts into different buckets in my head. There were buckets that were safe to dump out in public, within a specific system, or with certain people, and others that were not. I became a masked person instead of myself.

What societal rules mixed with my persona and neuro-status didn’t allow me to do was love myself, and therefore, it prevented me from being a star-friend, or at least being friends with those who had my best interest at heart. More than that, the lack of love I had for myself regressed my ability to be a caretaker for myself, to be spiritually aligned, and ultimately to be happy. I let so many people victimize me throughout my life because of this and therefore have accumulated my own traumas along the way.

I have now learned so much about myself, unlearned so many unhealthy habits and behaviors, worked through a lot of trauma, embraced so many emotions and qualities about myself. This makes it heartbreakingly difficult for me to face what I call “the old me”. I really do not align with this person anymore, and I don’t really feel them in me at the deepest levels, but at the surface they are fully present. 

Old Habits Die Slowly and Painfully

This “old me” knew how to present on LinkedIn, in the professional world, knew how to do what I needed to do to get the job, to fit in, to lead the group, to follow the leader. Whatever was needed of me, I did it. 

I am now in a really tough financial position. I don’t have enough money to pay my bills, get medicine, go to therapy, take my pets to the vet*, get groceries, get more soil for my plants, etc. I know that I need to make money, and I know that the thing stopping me has been restraining myself from pursuing higher-income gigs. I have been fearful that I won’t “make it” in this new field that I am pursuing and that I left my corporate job to pursue. This has been stopping me from taking the leap into freelance writing gigs, into seeking out magazines or sites to submit stories too, to recording my first podcast episode, to finish setting up my profiles for freelance sites that are connected to my LinkedIn or require examples of my work. 

*Both my pets had full vet exams in April, I have simply not been able to afford a visit to a new vet for either pet since we moved. They are healthy.

Instead of going for these things that may make me more money AND fulfill the want and need I have to try to write and create content for things I am passionate about, I am settling for much less. Getting low $/hour to do low-brain-capacity work. A big part of this is feeling like I won’t be represented as I am now and for what I want to be doing, but rather for the “old me” because of the work I’ve done in the past for tech companies or consultants. The buyers of the work I want to do won’t have any specifically-relevant work to review. And the buyers of the work I used to do don’t want someone like me and I don’t want to write for those types of topics anyway. 

So why am I stopping myself from presenting in my full form online? Why am I not believing in myself to do the things I went to school for, live and breathe and consciously learn about with my time? 

Because I was always told that to succeed in business or in any field or industry, you need experience, presentation, professionalism, etc. And these things have always been defined through a straight, white, and male-driven lens. This means no tattoos, no colored hair, no piercings, no political issues or talk (even though what I want to discuss isn’t political to me, even if it’s politicized by the public). Why, no matter how much I oppose and despise those who set these “precedents and standards” do I still give in to them?

Because old habits die slowly, painfully, and only with a lot of work and resilience is it even possible. 

Shadow Work Makes a Great Assassin!

The only one qualified to kill off these old, and frankly unwelcome, habits is with an old friend - Shadow Work. Suffice it to say, I think all of this means that Shadow Work is calling my name. It’s time to have a real focus on this as I also work to pursue my creative and professional dreams. 

Shadow work allows us all to go inside and break down these old habits, old traumas, old blocks that come back our way to try and break down our soul. Consulting, tending to, and loving your shadow self can allow one to break free of these things, or even better, allow them to work for you and propel you on your journey to achieve your soul’s purpose.

To get started, I am working with this very poignant Full Moon that takes place tomorrow at its highest illumination. I have some shadow-work journal prompts, a Full Moon spell, and a ritual planned. 

I guess sometimes, being an ADHD witch has it’s upsides too. Witchcraft is a tool that really helps me live a meaningful life despite the struggles that come with my ADHD. I am who I am, and embracing the intersections of these two identifying pieces of me allows me to pursue my soul’s purpose.

Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life By | Gretchen Rubin NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Happiness Project and “a force for real change” (Brené Brown) examines how changing our habits can change our lives.   “If anyone can help us stop procrastinating, start exercising, or get organized, it’s Gretchen Rubin.

She presents a practical, concrete framework to allow readers to understand their habits—and to change them for good.  Buy the copy of the book @ Amazon https://human-engineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/BR-3.jpg https://human-engineers.com/better-than-before-what-i-learned-about-making-and-breaking-habits-to-sleep-more-quit-sugar-procrastinate-less-and-generally-build-a-happier-life/?feed_id=10642&_unique_id=60ead7f9751bd https://human-engineers.com/better-than-before-what-i-learned-about-making-and-breaking-habits-to-sleep-more-quit-sugar-procrastinate-less-and-generally-build-a-happier-life/?feed_id=10642&_unique_id=60ead7f9751bd

Hidden in my cocoon of a shadow... I'm breaking up with regret... She's filled with Lighters, gas, And visions of debt... I'll say "the lack of Star gazing in my life Is something I cannot accept." I'm breaking up with The mundane... She's stealing all my lines and Calling me insane... I'll say "the moon is My spotlight and you Will never take that From my name..." I'm breaking up with Expectation. She's pretending to be hope and doesn't Appreciate the haiku of elation. I'll say "my peaceful silence splashes a midnight daisy At the any train station..." And so At last broken open, -An angel in the streetlight- From my egg... My self love will never beg, But ascend my poems Of romance to my true love, My world, Instead... #selflove #shadowwork #poemofromance #thedirtythirty2021 #day24 #poemsofig #poemsofinsta #breakinghabits #selfcare #poemsofinstagram #poets #poems #poetry #poetryoflove #mindfulness #poetryflight #poetryofangels #melbspokenword #melbournepoetry (at Ferntree Gully, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/COCsuZPn381/?igshid=1xysgli418tpp

How did you honour our planet for Earth Day? For me it was an early morning in nature alone. Connecting to the wisdom of the trees. Photos of that time we packed up our lives to travel fulltime.

Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. pt 1

-expert from atomic habits- 

how in shape in or out of shape you are? a result of your habits.

how happy or unhappy you are? a result of your habits.

how successful or unsuccessful you are? a result of your habits. 

what you repeatedly do for example what you spend your time thinking about and doing each day.... ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray. 

How habits work

the process of building a habit can be divided into four simple steps : cue, craving, response and reward. Your brain runs through these steps in the same order each time. 

       Cue -  triggers your brain to initiate a behaviour. it is a bit of information that predicts a reward. Today we spend most of our time learning cues that predict secondary rewards like money and fame, power and status, praise and approval, love and friendship, or a sense of personal satisfaction. (of course, these pursuits also indirectly improve our odds of survival and reproduction, which is the deeper motive behind everything we do. Your mind is continuously analysing your internal and external environment for hints of where rewards are’re located.)  because the cue is the first indication that we’re close to a reward, it naturally leads to a craving.

    Cravings - cravings are the second step of the habit loop... the motivational force ehind every habit. without some level of motivation or desire/ without craving a change we have no reason to act. every craving is linked to a desire to change your internal state. 

   The Response - whether a response occurs depends on how motivated your are and how much friction is associated with the behaviour. If a particular action requires more physical or mental effort than you are willing to expend, then you wont do it. Your response also depends on your ability. It sounds simple, but a habit can occur only if you are capable of doing it. 

   Reward - The end goal of a habit. the cue is about noticing the reward and the response is about obtaining the reward. we chase rewards because they serve us two purposes 1.they satisfy us and 2.they teach us. rewards satisfy your cravings... at least for a moment, rewards deliver contentment and relief from craving. reward also teach us which actions are worth remembering in the future. Your brain is a reward detector. The sensory nervous system is continuously monitoring which actions satisfy your desires and deliver pleasure. feelings of pleasure and disappointment are part of the feedback mechanism that helps your brain distinguish useful actions from useless ones. rewards close the feedback loop and complete the habit cycle. 

If a behaviour is insufficient in any of the four stages, it will not become a habit. the entire process is completed in a split second and we use it again and again without realising everything that has been packed into the previous moment.
