Big Tiny Steps

(At ~50% of full dosage, and 18 days after starting the Bright Mind natural Adderall alternative)

So yep, that’s the plan for tomorrow.

I will drop for 2 tablets to 1.5. This represents a turning point and a milestone. It feels like a next step in the path towards making my escape from Adderall real.

I also skipped Bright Mind yesterday as per the website’s instruction to do so every 5 days, and I have to say I was perfectly fine.

This could mean 2 things:

1. The effects of Bright Mind are not as strong as I thought, and some placebo is involved (although I definitely felt some sort of boost last week when I took an extra dose as I was dragging in the later part of the afternoon)
2. I am experiencing Bright Mind’s advertised characteristic of being non-habit forming, and this is good news. If I all of a sudden were to feell like crap just becuase I was taking the day off, well, then, “Congratulations, you now have a new addiction and are following the typical pattern of exchanging one addiction and chemical crutch for another…”

So I am actually OK with this, and can perhaps try ditching the Bright Mind once I am comfortable without Adderall at all.

I also started thinking more and more about some other creative pursuits and ways to boost my business, but, and here’s the kicker, in a way that is POWERED BY PASSION AND EXCITEMENT, as well as being of service to others.

The art of humor, that’s something I believe I have some talent with, especially in terms of making stuff, as opposed to stand up comedy or acting.

I need to step away from this for a moment, but I may come back and add to this post, but at the very least, this is my update, and I look forward to my big milestone tomorrow!
