🌻🪻🚶‍♂️🌳🌲 I've made the most of this year with lots of walks and hikes. Starting tomorrow, I'll hardly have any time for that anymore. But that's only for a little less than a year – afterward, maybe I'll find a way to organize my life a little more freely again, in accordance with my neurodivergence needs.

⌚️📆📈 While I was previously able to organize my work hours very freely, my course now forces me to work at fixed times. This will be a challenge, especially given the sensory overload I have to deal with due to my ADHD. After all, it's in classes with many people, especially younger ones. But I feel ready for it because I've worked hard on myself over the past two decades (diagnosed in 2006). I've made a lot of progress over the past two years, especially with the cross-symptoms (overlap and interaction) associated with emotional trauma, and I think it's showing physically. I wouldn't have developed all this discipline (quitting smoking/daily fitness training/nutrition) otherwise.

🙂 Here's a neutral expression and even, indirect light so you can see how good-looking I am in my normal state. ✨️

🌞 Many people wish they were younger. At the same time, many want to live as if it were their last day. I find these views strange. I don't want to be younger, and I want to live as if my last day were still a long way off. I want to live to a very old age and stay as healthy as possible. For me, life isn't a checklist, and every day with ordinary experiences is a great joy, because it could be completely different.

🌱 The idea of giving the days more life often implies trying to make each moment intense or extraordinary, but I think that true life is found in stability, well-being, and inner peace. When I focus on health and peace, I create a foundation where each day naturally holds meaning and joy, not because it’s rushed or full of spectacle, but because it’s lived with balance and calm.

🕊 I am happy to be able to live in peace.

😜🦥🌞 I'm a cheeky sloth who lazes around in the sun!

In Germany, winter often changes into spring from one day to the next. Ten days ago I was still wearing my beanie and winter jacket and today I've been bathing in the sun shirtless for five days in a row. I've missed it a lot! I feel completely different with the light, the warmth and the birdsong. Soon the trees will have leaves again, scents will flood my senses and make everything seem fertile and alive.

🏃‍♂️🌞 I started running again after a 4-year break.

🦥💨 Twice a week is definitely enough!

✨️ Endurance sports release happiness hormones!

😅 You can see from my face that I almost have an overdose of happiness.

😁💫 At least I'm happy to be motivated again! At the moment I can only manage a tenth of the distance I did 4 years ago, but I'll get better.

😮‍💨❤️‍🔥 The last (first) time I had to take a break because I was out of breath, so I split the route into two sections.

🦵💢 Today I ran a longer distance and all in one go, and my only limit was the pain in my calves but no longer my breath.

😄💯 The pain probably explains the look on my face. I still had a long way to go home. But next time I'll manage the whole circuit in one go!

🌬🦥 Life is like a feather in the wind. But sometimes, even the wind takes a break. In these moments, mindfulness allows us to observe the forces that move us and recognize patterns we might otherwise miss.

🕊🪺 Bias is one such force. It often operates silently, shaping our thoughts, actions, and decisions without our conscious awareness. Mindfulness is the practice of pausing, noticing, and becoming aware of these influences. It’s not about judging ourselves for having biases—bias is a natural part of being human—but about noticing them so we can choose how to respond.

🌬🪽 But mindfulness is not a constant state, nor should it be. It’s part of an inner cycle that includes trust in yourself and your instincts. While mindfulness offers clarity, it also helps us recognize when to let go of overthinking and trust in our natural ability to navigate life. Constantly questioning every thought or feeling can lead to doubt or inaction. Instead, mindfulness works best as a tool we pick up when needed, complementing moments of intuition and self-reflection.

🌬🍃 By weaving mindfulness into this cycle, we create a balance—aware of biases when they arise but confident in our ability to move forward. We pause to notice, but then we act with trust in ourselves. This rhythm ensures that we are neither carried blindly by the wind nor held motionless by fear of misstep. Instead, we move deliberately, awake and anchored, yet always free to soar.
