"Oh, so this is what people mean by 'focus'!"

[00:00] The day I took medication for the first [00:02] time, I was like, "This is what people [00:04] mean by focus. Okay." And I'd been [00:06] practicing yoga for years. I had been [00:08] working on a second certification before [00:10] the pandemic. Like, there were so many [00:11] things that my teachers had tried to [00:13] teach me and I did yoga that day and I [00:16] was like, "Well, yeah, it's a way easier [00:18] to focus on your breath and stuff now." [00:19] Like, so it was really partially coding [00:21] and partially like social media that [00:24] finally showed me that there was a [00:25] reason that I had always felt like I was [00:28] struggling so much more than other [00:30] people. always trying so hard. Like, [00:32] yes, I was succeeding, but I was trying [00:35] four or five times harder than other [00:36] people would have to to do those things. [00:39] And once I finally was able to unpack a [00:41] lot of that and set it down, I can [00:43] actually lean into the brain the way my [00:45] brain works and still get things done. [00:47] You know, the biggest tip and trick of [00:48] them all is that one will always stop [00:50] working, so you have to switch to the [00:51] other one and you can maybe rotate them [00:52] out, but like it's it's always going to [00:54] be a fun [00:56] puzzle.
