Hey team!

I had a listener write in recently asking about finding purpose and how they just feel like their life is a bit of a mess. They don't know what they want to do and they feel like everyone else has it together. So in today's episode we're going to be exploring these ideas, while at the same time questioning if these are even the right questions that we should be asking. I'm going to dive into a number of ways that I don't have my own life together and we'll also be getting into self-determination theory and how we can apply that to looking at what we want to do with our life.

This Episode's Top Tips

No one always has everything together. Don't compare your lowlight reel to someone else's highlights—everyone struggles, even if they aren't advertising it. It's unrealistic to think that we need to have everything together all the time; just focus on doing what you can.
Tasks like managing emails are ongoing processes, not one-time achievements.
Self-determination theory's principles are autonomy, competence, and relatedness—all of which are incredibly important for us to cultivate in managing our ADHD.
