@@TheNorseWitch I think I’m going to try this I am horrible at meditation 😬 but true especially if it’s not guided my brain is always all over the place! So thank you for the video and the sponsor!!!
I love Aura exactly for that reason. I can practice without having to put much brain work into it 🤣 that’s especially nice for my short morning meditations. I’ll just search for the vibe I’d like that day and then take one of their guided meditations ☺️
things I would add to the list would be: sageing the house, cleansing tools/stones/ or talismans, charging tools/stones etc, mix a new incense blend, take a cleansing bath. stuff like that. when I am stuck, when I am really wanting to do something but cant seem to move I start with music. sometimes I am so stuck I can only manage to play music, then after a while the music vibrations seem to clear away the feeling of being stuck. then I can typically manage to light some incense. after that I can generally get a candle or 2 going. by this time I am in full swing of cleansing the whole house and I feel much better!
I have auDHD and this has been a struggle all my life 😭 sometimes I get hyperfocused on specific spiritual practices and am able to do it for a while, until I get burnt out. 99% of the other time, I end up doing nothing at all most days aside from pulling some tarot cards. It's so frustrating because for short periods I feel alive and so connected to my spirit team. Only for months to come along afterwards where I feel so disconnected, so alone, only doom scrolling and barely functioning through the day with other things as well. I can relate 💔
Hi, fellow ND! I just found out (literally like a week and a half ago) that I have AuDHD too. I feel you on this! Just wanted to say hi and that you’re not alone, this seems like a very useful solution to the problem.
I have Executive Dysfunction and I will know that I need to do something, or that I want to do something, but I just don't do it. I also have the "squirrel syndrome" with this. I'll start doing one thing, then see something else that needs done and start working on it, then see something else, or the original thing, and keep doing this all day. Usually I end up working on several projects, but getting nothing done, and feeling completely unproductive.
It's a brilliant strategy, not only for spiritual tasks but as a tool for neurodivergent people who need novelty/gamefying tasks! Not knowing what will come up might bring a sense of excitement instead of having to decide for yourself cause you've already done the thinking previously 😊 I sometimes use a random choice wheel for a similar purpose when I want to do many things but can't decide. I often choose differently than the wheel, but it helps me test how I feel about an activity and if it's really what I want to do when it's chosen for me at random. ETA cause it really inspires me: You could also pick one up in the morning as a challenge for the day, especially the more casual/meditative ones to make sure you have a little something to keep you practicing through mundane stuff
1:45 as a witch who have ADHD I relate to this so much! Like I want to do something with tarot for instance but I don’t know what to do with it exactly. I use this method if I have trouble with picking out a deck or book to read 😂
Amazing idea! As an ADHD/ OCD witch, I struggle with not practicing unless I can do something “perfectly” (which ends up as me not wanting to start a magical task due to fear of doing something wrong) This process takes the pressure out of it, because witchcraft can be practical and it’s really the lifestyle I resonate so deeply with - these are all things that just simply bring so much joy to my life. Perfectionism is OUT, and magical tasks are IN.
this is soooo genius! especially when you have a lot of different things you want to do or research or a lot of books to read.....basically decision paralysis and you want to work on your craft but can't decide what to give your current attention to!
Omg i get a really similar thing with wanting to do stuff and like ‘freezing’ and i think its defo an adhd think for mee ! Ur videos r so helpful for neurodivergent witched i luv it and i’d defo do the task jar thing for like hobbies or chores too ! xx
Brilliant and so simple. After a particularly busy week sometimes I find it hard to settle down and spend my free time usefully (but still enjoyably). Thank you for this! NB You forgot to add "read for Norse Witch book club" 🤣
this is such a good idea! I’ve been feeling a little stuck lately and haven’t been very diligent in my personal practice, so I will absolutely be making something like this for myself! ♡
This is such a good idea! Its soo simple, but effective! love that!! Definitely I will try it, because decision fatigue is real here! Perhaps I will make 2 jars, one for inside and another for outside activities! Thank you
ohhhh what a simple yet genius idea! and i just got a little glas jar that i would've chucked otherwise! i take that as a hint XD given my scatterbrain i think i will put some mundane things in it as well for just reading or drawing or just something nice for me to do that is not doomscrolling!
Usually, even on my bad days, I will try at least my morning tea ritual where I blow my intentions for the day into my tea. knowing i did at least this is more than enough for me to get through my day. I only perform the bigger and mid-energy-required spells and tasks on my high-energy days.
This is such a simple yet brilliant idea! I'm going to make jars ! I'm definitely making a witchy task one and one for films too and I'm going to show my husband this video too cause he has the same problem when he has free time so he might like to do a man task jar lol. Thanks for this video ❤️😊
Decision Paralysis!… lol Definitely an issue at times! The jar is a good idea!… only for me, I think the rule should be “I have to pick something after two hours of doing the same thing.”… lol I can get pretty caught up in my extra curricular activity. Maybe my jar should have chores sprinkled in… 😂 ✌️😎💚
@TheNorseWitch plating cards ir boardgames if you enjoy that, make a herbal tea and do some self-healing, like reiki or sth. Or reading a witchy book, or just a nice novel. I also like to draft sometimes. Not a talent here, but it's just for me, kids and family. My latest project was a pack of wooden bookmarks with tinsel ends that you can paint yourself. So I did one with a sailing ship for my dad, an abstract one for my mum and for my youngest, I did a black one with spural/vine pattern on one side and her name on the other. The ship was upside down by accident, so I said it was in Australia. 🤣 if you're jot good with brushes, better to use them only for the background and pens for any finer work. 🤣 my ship looked like a kid from kindergarten painted ut, but my dad loved it anyway. 🤣 I also made my own Goddess oracle, 5 or 6 cm wooden hearts, coloured them and wrote the names of the Goddesses on them. Basic, but self-made is always good, right? I use them in my weekly readings, one Goddess and Tarot cards. 🥰 hope that gives you some inspiration. ❤️
Another thought, make your own winter tea mixture to strengthen the immune system and cast a little health boost spell on it, so it'll be extra potent when you drunk it if you feel you'll catch cold? Would make a nice present for friends as well... 😁
I have this problem whenever I don’t have to work. While being at work I think about all the things I’d like to do when I have holidays but when they are finally there I can’t decide and feel overwhelmed and frustrated about that.
I'm a dirty witch... 😂😂😂 My aunt asked me if I was a good witch or a bad witch. I told her a bad witch cuz I hardly follow through with rituals, and my alter is a mess. Then I saw a funny meme about being a bad witch... 🧙♀️
Just in case others experience the same thing, it's 99% likely something called Executive Dysfunction. While ADHDers do experience it, it's not unique to ADHD, Autism and others under the neurodiversity umbrella also experience Executive Dysfunction. Regardless of what diagnosis you may or may not have, *anyone* can benefit from aids and strategies to deal with Executive Dysfunction, so look it up and see what works for you !
I have kind of similar problem, however I have ADHD super bad and it gets worse with age I don't take medication for it however focusing on my practice can be hard and coming up with ideas to do spells or rituals now that could i use something, if that even make sense, love this video thank you for sharing,
❤❤❤Just a side comment that has NOTHING to do with your video...I absolutely love any, "Sharp" or "Mechanical", objects from Germany. SO High Quality in not only in the metal, but the engineering of the tool.😊😊😊 They never break if you take care of them.❤❤❤
Hey! I just looked at your shop and it says the domain has expired so I'm not sure if your shop is still up. Sorry if you've already addressed this - just wanted to put it here just in case!
Sadly I had to close my shop permanently. I have to pay too much in taxes on the little money I made with it, so it was not worth all of the time I put into it :/
I don’t have any spells that are tethered to my own energy, so I know that’s not it. Also, it’s not that I’m lacking energy. I can be as charged and motivated as I like, the problem still remains.
Just a sign of the modern lifestyle we have, instant gratification to despair from too much social media. We no longer have patience for long term projects.
Yup, totally agreed! Although in my life - i do find patience and excitement, and then I go all in. I spend as much time as I can on the project. But then the excitement dies away after one or two weeks and I’ll abandon it and look for the next project 🤣

What you have described is called Executive Dysfunction - It does relate to being neuro divergent.

ok, i love this idea, definitely giving it a shot! i work full time, 9 hours 5 days a week, and i always find myself frozen on weekends
This is an awesome idea! I am definitely going to try it (ADHD here and some days are way worse than others)!
Hope it works for you ☺️☺️
