While this might seem silly to a lot of folks, as someone who struggles severely with Executive Function due to ADHD, this is incredibly helpful. Often, the hardest part for me is identifying the ~why~ of how I'm feeling, preventing me from taking the necessary steps. Once I get past that, it's a lot easier to take action and get to a better place mentally.
- laputan_machine 4y agoI think the process might be helpful, but the way this one is presented is highly opinionated and is completely wrong for someone like me. The first question alone is ridiculous. A normal, otherwise healthy person does not need to eat every 4 hours. Eating that often (especially e.g. if it's a high-sugar snack) will prevent your insulin levels from lowering, this is not good for your body. But this person claims that it's OK! It's fine, eat what you want! I think that is terrible advice, and the opposite of looking after yourself.
- drekk 4y agoYour brain needs glucose to function. It can only use ketones for so much of that. If you don't eat every 4 hours, you are probably depriving your brain of glucose. Might not matter if you have a white collar office job that mostly involves Slack and Jira. Slightly more relevant if you're working outdoors in hot, humid weather. A handful of raisins or cashews would suffice for these, and spacing out snacks in this way leads to less net caloric intake overall
- sleepymoose 4y agoI completely agree! I noticed that one right off the bat as I practice intermittent fasting, so it immediately doesn't apply. Like any other "self-help" exercise, this must be adapted for use in relation to your own personal needs.
