They say “pride comes before the fall” – Indeed it does… – at least a bit.

As I wrote before, I sincerely need to shed old skin every once in a while and that is for a good reason: This is one of the things I have always had a problem with and since I have the ADHD diagnosis, I can finally put it into context:

I put too much on my plate which I can’t chew.

But the interesting bit is, that it condenses things down to a compact overview with which I can deal better. This is absolutely in line with entropically letting everything process and then let it dissolve to form something new.

To cut a long story short, I will have to

• reduce podcasting to one episode every fortnight to a month, in English.
• I will not post on this blog on a daily base anymore, since a lot of topics have been dealt with and I simply need time and energy for other things more important to me.
• The memoir will have to wait a bit longer, other writings have priority.

I will condense my efforts into the topics that have been important to me all along and which have shown to be most effectively with my Recovery:

• Outdoor activities: That means running, walking, bush crafting (maybe), fishing
• Journaling RPG and Cosmic Horror to incorporate it into short stories
• Artwork (ink sketching)

This is all meant to keep me attached more to the moment and resulting in “real emotions of the moment” to keep my mind more occupied with the present instead of the past and future.

Of course blogging and podcasting will continue, but on a lower frequency.

In the end, it’s all about reducing my over-stress levels and over-stress expectation and to increase mental balance. Dealing too much with my Core shouldn’t feel as a burden, but as a clarification of my horizon.

Of course, subject to changes any time.

Until next time, keep up the faith in yourself and take one step at a time.
