GROW ... on a walk

Dear neurokin,

For this week’s article I’m trying something new. I’m incorporating the audio of the guided coaching sessions that I normally do into the whole article.

As well as sending you this article in written word, I am creating an audio recording of the whole thing, coaching questions and all, so that you can take it on a walk with you, or simply put on your headphones and take it to the most comfortable chair in your home and sit and ponder as I talk to you.

Sometimes we need to create space away from our screens to shift something in us.

Whatever way works best for you, do grab some paper and a pen or something that you want to record your thoughts and actions on.

However, or wherever, this pondering takes place I want to invite you to ponder this topic of valuing your unique neurodivergent talents more deeply, really connecting with what this means for you.

Because, this stuff; Self Belief it’s really fundamental to you taking better care of yourself and really valuing your own strengths and yes, lets say it and believe it;

Your neurodivergent genius qualities

Why we’re focusing on valuing your neurodivergent talent and contribution

This topic was inspired by the energetic shift I can feel, which I experienced at an event in London ✨ N⚡️D Leaders: A Celebration of Neurodivergent Excellence✨ by The Future is ND

“I was blown away by the energy and confidence in the room, generated by both the brilliant speakers and everyone who attended.

The confidence was about what neurodivergence gives the world and how much, now more than ever, this is needed in this world.”

This is an extract from my EXPLORE article. You can read the article here

I will reference some of what Hannah shared in this GROW article and I urge you to invest some time in listening or watching the whole session.

GROW | Valuing your neurodivergent talent

Let’s start with you.

You’ve only just recently been given access to some vital information about yourself.

You’ve lived up until now not knowing that you connect, communicate and experience the world differently to the majority of people.

For that reason most of us late discovered neurokin carry around messages that our way of doing things is wrong.

Of course it isn’t wrong, it’s just different and there is so much to be celebrated in our alternative ways of being and doing.

This internalised feeling or all the messages we received from others about our different ways being wrong formed the conditioning and self limiting beliefs that we need to untangle ourselves from.

looking more deeply at your conditioned beliefs:

• I’m not good enough

• I’m a failure

• I’m not cut out for self employment

• I always do things wrong

• It’s not safe for me to be ambitious

1. What’s the most damaging conditioned belief that you’re holding onto?

2. Where did that belief come from?

   1. who or what shaped that belief?

Imagine…

3. Standing in your adult shoes today and really looking at that belief Imagine you’re holding the belief in your hands

   1. how much truth is in that belief?
