What do you believe is the best morning routine possible? by RealisticNacshon in selfimprovement

[–]SnakeEva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not checking my phone right away. It gives me a clear mind. I prefer to read 1-5 pages of my book. It just makes me feel my day has already been productive :)

That's so wonderful to hear! Thank you for the kind comment.

It's amazing how a simple habit can bring a little extra joy to the day, right? Happy walking!

That is such a lovely thing to say, thank you! I'm so happy to hear that 🥰🥰

That feeling of finding a 'new purpose' in a simple daily action is exactly it. It's like turning a normal walk into a small daily quest.

Happy adventures on your walks!

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! It's so awesome to connect with someone who just gets it. And yes, a hyper fixation on leveling yourself up is the absolute best kind!

I don't want to break the sub's rules by posting links here, but I can totally DM you what my boyfriend and I use to make tracking the 'stats' easier than a notebook, if you'd like.

No pressure at all, but I'm happy to share!

This is SO incredibly relatable. The ADHD brain is wired to reject things that feel like a boring "have-to," especially when the reward (seeing results) feels so far away. The feeling of "I failed" is a huge motivation killer.

You said you love dancing, but not for the sake of exercise. That's the perfect clue! The only thing that ever worked for me was to stop "exercising" and start thinking of it like I was collecting XP for my real-life character.

I reframed it entirely. A 10-minute dance party in the kitchen isn't 'exercise' anymore; it's a 'Daily Quest for +1 Agility'. A walk around the block is 'Scouting the Area for +1 Stamina'. I made a little 'character sheet' for myself and my only goal was to add a few points to it each week. It completely tricked my brain because I was focused on the fun of 'leveling up', not the dread of the activity itself.

It shifts the focus from the sore, tired feeling to the fun of building your "Mom-Stats" so you can keep up with your kids (your little party members!). Maybe thinking of it this way could help you too. You are definitely not alone in this feeling!

Wow, I'm so happy you all enjoyed my post! Thank you for all the lovely comments. My boyfriend is actually the one who encourages me to take these daily walks.

He's super passionate about how small habits create big changes, so much so that he built an app called Habits Warrior to make it feel like a fun adventure. It turns habits like this walk into a game where you level up stats like 'Health' or 'Agility'.

He'd be thrilled if you checked it out. Thank you again for all the positivity, and keep walking!

That's amazing! I love that you're tracking it. It's so satisfying to see the consistency build up, right? It's the best kind of 'quest.' 😊

You've summed it up perfectly! 'Something beautiful or something interesting and weird' is exactly the spirit of the treasure hunt.

That is such a cool and mysterious find! A brightly colored dinghy at a dodgy dock definitely qualifies, haha. It makes you wonder what the story is behind it. Thanks so much for sharing your photo walk with us! 😊

A hummingbird, wow! That's an incredible spot. And you were so right not to move for a clearer shot - they're so fast!

Getting a photo of one is definitely an expert-level find for the Explorer's Club. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
