Sometimes

 

Sometimes I walk into things. 

Sometimes I don’t finish things that I start. 

Sometimes I forget my laundry in the machine. 

Sometimes I trip over my own feet. 

Sometimes I forget my appointments (especially on weekends). 

Sometimes I walk out of the kitchen with food on the stove completely forgetting it’s there.

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by a crowded room. 

Sometimes I clench my jaw so hard it hurts. 

Sometimes I leave things all over the house. 

Sometimes it’s hard to get myself to shower. 

Sometimes I walk into rooms forgetting why I entered it in the first place. 

Sometimes I get overwhelmed. 

Sometimes I lose track of time. 

 

I am a loyal friend. 

I am a good listener. 

I am a good cook. 

I am really caring. 

I am super passionate. 

I am an empath. 

I am a bookworm. 

I am a granddaughter. 

I am a sister. 

I am a daughter. 

I am a nature lover. 

I am a total goof. 

I am a wine connoisseur. 

I am an athlete. 

I am creative. 

I am a friends fanatic (the TV show). 

I am honest. 

 

I also happen to have ADHD. 

 

“I choose to laugh about my “sometimes” list and focus on who I am as a person.”

Sometimes my Negative Nancy wins and I let the things on my “sometimes” win. BUT once I pause and shift my focus to the many positives that I AM, I can then be fair to myself and continue my day on a more positive note.” 

What do your “sometimes” and “I am” lists look like? I challenge you to create your own!  Want some accountability? Send them to me or write them in the comments below!
