18. Impulse borrowing, exercise & 😂 ADHD Reddit rants

Hi bestiesss! 

In today's episode:

• Grace has ADHD amnesia, and we're normalising second takes at things because we aren’t always prepared for what our mouths are going to say in social interactions. 

• Divergent Dilemma #1 - we answer a gorgeous listener question about motivating yourself for exercise when you have ADHD. We talk about the negative stigmas around the word exercise, why exercise often induces demand avoidance and how to find joyful movement, and immediate, non-appearance-based motivators for movement.

• Divergent Dilemma #2 - We discuss time management with ADHD, how people with ADHD usually won’t see time in a linear way, that we see it differently in our minds. How to be kind to ourselves around our inconsistency with time and some tips that sometimes help us to manage our time, like counting down from the LEAVE time not ARRIVAL times. 

IREGGY SEGGY:

• A listener sent us the idea for our IREGGY SEGGY this week, it’s called ‘Reddit Rants’  and we’re obsessed 🙌

We snoop ADHD Reddit threads that ask ‘what have you misplaced or lost’ as an ADHDer and the threads did not disappoint. 😂

We have toast left in drawers, bikes unnecessarily reported to the police and very disorientating naps.  

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Tara recommends using the public library (we promise this is more exciting than it sounds, babes)
• Grace recommends a Waterpik to floss those pearly whites without the sensory overwhelm of rogue water splatters and flimsy floss situations.

We will be back in those divine👂's next THURSDAY

LOVE YOU 
Tara & Grace xx
(don't RSD)
