Do you berate yourself for tiny mistakes? If so, you are not alone. Women with ADHD struggle with the need to try and be perfect. (This is a myth btw, no one is perfect!)
The 5x5 rule: if you won’t remember it in 5 years, the mistake is worth 5 mins of your thought and time.
This won’t always be easy but try it anyways. You could even set a timer. Allow yourself to feel your feelings during these 5 minutes. Shame, anger, fear, etc. When the timer is up, try your best to let it go.
I use essential oils to help me let things go.
What do you think? 5 years from now do you think you’ll remember these mistakes? Can you let it go if you allowed yourself to actually feel your feelings for a full 5 minutes?
