Motivation follows action. This is my new mantra, in other words, donât wait until you feel motivated to do stuff, do something and it will help you to get moving.
I just turned 30! MY 20âs were an absolutely wild ride and I learned so much about myself that I have completely changed the way I think, feel and act. Shocker I know! I was diagnosed with ADHD and I have learned how to manage it in a way that works for me. This has allowed self-acceptance in a way I didnât think was possible. I learned it all in therapy. . . and on ADHD Tiktok.
3 Things That Help Harness ADHD
1 Know what you need

Duh, farming involves physical labor, but is it a total body workout? No! The thing about exercise is that if you are really strong in some areas and really weak in other areas it can led to major issues with pain and soreness. It can also increase your likelihood of injury and slow down the healing process.
Today, I have a few questions that can help you to identify what you should do to take care of your body.
Occupation:
Description:
Physical Expectations:
What muscles will be used?
Where will you be sore?
What stretches will help?
What exercises will help strengthen those areas?
What exercises will help you balance those areas?

Fair week was the first time I realized what anxiety really felt like in my body. Fortunately, I have an amazing mom who recognized it and helped me to do some deep breathing and bring some perspective to my pre-fair worry. Except that is really an understatement because I was like a bridezilla on steroids, I was a fairzilla for two weeks leading up to the fair.
This episode is all about the things that helped to make our fair week go smoother. I consulted with my mom on this episode because she was the mastermind behind the planning that went into 4-H and the preparing for the fair.
1. Have a DIY deadline-Anything that doesnât need to be done last minute should be done a week before the fair.
2. Have a list for things that need to be done last minute i.e. Baking projects, cakes, washing animals, etc.
3. Pack your camper and do your shopping ahead of time, if you do crafts and things then packing that stuff into the camper saves space in your primary vehicle
4. Remember that this is about kids learning skills not about winning, one of the most important skills they will learn to how to keep calm when they are under pressure.
5. Have a plan for food and have plenty of east snacks available.
6. Have a few ways to lower anxiety available for when the tears inevitably come. For kids a few options can be taking a few deep breathes, taking a walk, dance party, writing a letter to their current self from 5 years into the future.
7. Keep a flexible routine, this helps to avoid getting hangry, overtired, and exhausted.
8. Unpack as soon as you get home

5 Paradigm Shifts I Learned in Therapy
1. Set boundaries early and often, say no, and protect your time, space and family
2. You cannot change other people, changing the way you react to situations in your life is more valuable anyway
3. The story you tell yourself is the only thing that matters, the âtruthâ is subjective
4. Sometimes you just have to talk things out
5. When your childhood, your adult family dynamics, your financial security and the stability of your families future are all intertwined, itâs more difficult. Just acknowledging that fact, and recognizing when things get messy

On our farm, it feels like spring planting is getting started late. In reality we are not THAT late, nonetheless, I am anxious about it. We have something scheduled every weekend in May, this means I will have to leave the farm and do the activity. This gives me farmer guilt, itâs similar to âMom-guiltâ where you feel like you canât be away from your kids or else you are an anxious mess, while simultaneously knowing that you are your best self when you get away. This boils down to a whole lot of anxiety on my part.
If we could get a good inch of rain every Friday night in May, everything would work out perfectly!
Since I donât live in lala land the following list are 5 things I am committing to doing every day so that I can manage my anxiety, my house and the springtime chaos without losing my mind.
5 Daily Practices to Survive Spring Planting Chaos
1. Do one load of laundry and one load of dishes every day
2. Take a mindful minute and remember why I love farming
3. De-escalate a trigger-For me this is that I have to have at least one clean countertop in my kitchen. Another trigger for me is when I donât get my âmust do listâ done so for me de-escalating a trigger looks like doing the most important things first.
4. Have a mantra for when things donât go as planned. If itâs a change in my plans for the day, I say something like âI am flexible, I can adapt and changeâ if itâs a breakdown or problem I say something like âOpe there it is, good thing we are preparedâ
5. Improve your communication -group texts, morning meetings, etc.
Here are a few episodes that may help if you want to dig deeper into this.

#62 How Gratitude Changed My Mom Guilt and 5 Easy Gratitude Habits
This past week, we went to the American Farm Bureau Fusion Conference in Jacksonville Florida. It was so nice to get away but I felt more Mom guilt than normal. This combined with the huge chore of packing for a cross county trip with a baby, sort of plagued the whole vacation and it got me thinking about how we can change mom guilt? While I am not sure we can ever totally get rid of it, I know that gratitude has changed mine is a big way.
Adrienne DeSutter said, âSay Yes to help and no to everything elseâ. So I have begun saying Yes to help, without even thinking about it. It was just an automatic Yes please. Yes please take the baby, yes please prepare a plate for me, yes please get me a drink, yes please to, âdo you need anything from the storeâ.
People genuinely want to help others, LET THEM. Then instead of feeling guilty for accepting help, thank them and move on. When we use gratitude, it switches off our fight or flight response in our brain and helps to re-route blood from the survival mode part of our brain, to our âthriveâ portion. Part of this is called our frontal lobe where we process information, emotions and logic.
But a daily gratitude practice isnât for everyone so here are 5 easy ways to express gratitude
1. Instead of saying whatâs up ask, whatâs good?
2. Ask for everyoneâs âhighs and lowsâ at the dinner table or in the car
3. Take 5 Exercise
4. Trade âIâm sorryâ for âthank youâ
5. Journal-write it out or talk it out

#61 Contentment on the Homefront and Actual Seatbelt Wearers with Jordan Waas
Jordan Waas is a farmer in the Laurel highlands of Pennsylvania. They farm row crops in the hills and mountains and raise cattle where it gets too steep. She has four kids, a herd of registered red angus cattle and loves to make soap.
We talk about how important it is to be comfortable at home and be able to actually relax. How God helps us to be more content and happy. He helps us to get through the hard times and move forward during loss and heartache. She teaches me all about raising Cattle and how EPDâs (Expected Progeny Differences) are helping farmers strategize to build the heard they want.
I also ask probably the worst question you can ask, âDo you actually wear your seatbelt [In the tractor]â?

How to be more comfortable at home
How to be more content
How to cope with a hard calving season after lots of loss
How to manage kids and farming

#60 What is Stress, The Lesson All College Freshman Get Day One
Stress is a reaction that our body produces when we think we cannot meet the demands based on the amount of resources we have available. Those resources are things like time, money, man power, sunlight or nice weather, tools, knowledge, etc.
In caveman times stress was a good thing it helped people to fight, run, outsmart the predator. Those stress responses were meant to help people to survive. Those who had the stress responses passed them onto the next generation.
Stress is a good thing, it helps us to get more done, act without thinking, run, fight, push, argue, etc. In the short-term it helps us to tackle the task at hand, in the long-term it can harm our mental health, our relationships and ultimately our overall wellness. This also can make us angry, anxious and chronically stressed out.
The seven dimensions of wellness are physical, psychological, intellectual, financial, social, spiritual and environmental.
