Just a little ADHD Coach call-out for anyone who needs it today… 👀💛
You are NOT too busy to book that health appointment.
Or the dentist.
Or the eye test.
Or the haircut that makes you feel more like yourself.
Or whatever else you’ve been quietly putting off because everything else feels more important.
In my case - the Osteopath….
I know, I know…
“I’ll do it when work calms down.”
“I haven’t got time this week.”
“Other people need me.”
“It’s not that urgent.”
And then somehow three months have passed. 😂
For ADHDers, looking after ourselves can become another executive-function task: remember the thing, find the number, make the decision, actually book it, put it in the calendar, attend it…
Add people-pleasing, caring responsibilities, work, life admin and limited capacity, and our own needs can very quickly become the negotiable ones.
But you cannot continuously function with everyone else’s needs sitting above your own.
Self-care isn’t only spa days and switching your phone off.
Sometimes self-care is booking the bloody appointment you’ve been avoiding. (Especially those important, sometimes unpleasant health check ups!)
So consider this your reminder:
📱 Pick ONE thing you’ve been putting off.
📅 Book it.
✅ Done.
It doesn’t need to be a full life overhaul! Just one bit of messy action that tells Future You:
“Your needs matter too.” 💛
