Question for Readers: How do real Neurodivergent people exercise?

Hi, neurodivergent friends, especially those of you with ADHD/executive dysfunction, or dyspraxia. Do you regularly exercise or move your body? If so, what do you do? How often? How do you stay consistent, or deal with being inconsistent?

Knowing how real neurodivergent people exercise (not just neurotypical influencers/self help types) would help me immensely. Just like with cleaning and organizing, we often have to do things in a different way, and it doesn’t necessarily look like what you see in magazines and the like. I want to broaden my mind to the full possibilities of what exercising can look like.

Why I’m Asking:

I’m no longer young enough for my body to stay basically functional without regular physical exercise. I need to do regular physical activity that involves bearing my own body weight and raising my heart rate. 

I need to build up my endurance and develop some arm muscles so basic life tasks like grocery shopping don’t wear me out. 

I also need physical activity to reconnect me to my body. Pretty much everything I do (like reading, writing, and interacting with friends online) keeps me still so long I forget I have a body, and then it’s hard to start moving again. 

I also need physical activity that involves going outside, and people watching or even interacting with people, to connect me to the world and remind me that I’m real. You know, all those mental health benefits of moving and being in nature.

I also need a way to burn off those intense emotions that can stick around for hours, instead of distracting myself from them. And perhaps, burn off some anxiety/restlessness/hyperactivity, while I’m at it.

The Assets

I like walking at a moderate pace and could do for hours.

I love yoga, especially of the slow paced type where you focus on how you feel in a pose and intensify it to the maximum point you can stand.

I love dancing to music, including fast paced songs with a strong beat.

The Challenges:

Low endurance, physical weakness: I need something low impact and appropriate for someone with low endurance and something like exercise induced asthma.

ADHD Inconsistency and Discouragement: I need goals specific enough to actually do the exercise, yet flexible enough that I won’t get discouraged and stop. I need to either not trigger my perfectionism, or work around it.

Executive Dysfunction: I suck at building habits, especially keeping them consistently. These days, I’m so discouraged from years of frustration with trying to build habits that I rarely try at all. Also, I have difficulty setting SMART goals around exercise especially because I’m not very knowledgeable about what’s healthy and realistic (and am exhausted by the prospect of wading through “bro science” to find useful info).

History of dyspraxia; lack of confidence in my physical body and embarrassed about being physically unfit in front of other people.

Heat sensitivity -- it was almost painfully exhausting going outside last summer, which limited the opportunities I had to exercise.

How would you deal with challenges like these?

If you have similar challenges, how do you deal with them? 

Any ideas for what sort of exercises to do, how often, etc.?

Why Reply?

I will try any suggestions that seem promising. So, you might be able to help me.

I plan to write about what works for me, what doesn’t, and why. Maybe that information will help someone else in a similar situation. If so, you might help other people, too.

Thank you!

Let’s explore the mind-body connection and discuss how it truly works. Have you ever wondered how Energy healing actually works? 

Maybe you’re curious about energy healing but —

You’re under the assumption that it’s *magic poof* 

Or maybe you’ve been told it’s all about manipulating energy, sound frequencies, chanting om, doing crazy dances or I have no idea, there is a lot out there…

What if, I could break it down for you so that it’s so simple, you can watch this episode and be OHHH I finally get it now. 

That’s my Intention.

Here’s the thing, if you’re new to energy work or healing, a lot of new agers can make it look like invisible magic with smoke screens and…crazy as it sounds, that isn’t remotely how it works… 

It Works with 

The Mind Body Connection 

Why is The Mind-Body Connection so Important in relationship to Spiritual awakening? 

The Mind-Body connection helps us know why a symptom is coming up for us such as an ascension symptom. 

The Connection of the Mind-Body also helps us see if we are disconnected from the Mind or Body. 

This is often a big red flag on the ways we may be experiencing misalignment in our nervous system, such as feeling anxiety, having out-of-body experiences, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, hypersensitive or even simply stuck in a loop of negative over-thinking. 

This is why when it comes to the Mind-Body Connection it’s sooooo powerful to understand what is going on neurologically and systematically in your energy body. So you can easily find the root cause to heal or manifest more successfully. 

So, How Does the Mind Body Connection Work in Relationship to Energy Healing and Spiritual awakening? 

That’s what we’re discussing in this week’s episode,

Who would win, 30 billion lions able to conglomerate themselves into a single mass, a single death star and every single power ranger, or Optimus prime?

I think it's cheating to lump the lions together like that because, while they'd all theoretically have the same potential size and strength, in practice they'd be very unlikely to have it distributed in any specific way. But assuming that they have the same average potential size and strength (rounded down to the nearest integer with rounding error), the death stars and the power rangers would win, because the death stars and the power rangers would be giant spheres with equal-sized parts, while the lions would all be relatively tiny, non-spherical lumps of lions.

There's a statement like this in the object-level stance, but it becomes meaningless as soon as you start talking about fuzzy hypotheticals in general, since you have to decide on an aesthetic judgment of the hypothetical combatants' "relative strengths." It's possible to get this to be "well-defined" by defining it in terms of some matrix of psychological traits (such as "aggression," "ease of enragement," "ability to harm humans," "elasticity," "resistance to pain," etc.) and assuming all traits are not only discrete but freely commensurable, but this is an ad hoc definition that just turns out to work in certain cases like this?

The mind-body problem is not some weird technical trick, it's just the attempt to reason from the object-level of (human) language to the meta-level of the ontology of which language is a part.

Hunting for Unexpected Ideas: Turning Casual Moments into Sources of Creativity!

I’ve taken the fantastic habit of writing as soon as I step into the subway. I don’t know why, but it always seems to be the wrong time to have an idea. I find myself surrounded by people laden with shopping bags, and even though I isolate myself with my music, someone asks me something and prevents me from focusing on what I would like. Then I get home and suddenly everything fades away! I…

As soon as Kylie Minogue release her new album Tension this past September , that’s when I have muscle spasms. Now that I went to physical therapy to build muscle and do a little research on my own, I release my shoulders have a lot of tension. So what a coincidence that I have muscle tension on the same month when Kylie release Tension in September. 🤔

I like to think that it was really hard for Telemachus to consider Odysseus as his father despite all of the years he's been titling him as one. It's easier to trust that someone gone will come back, than to actually believe and envelope the fact that they're here.
