My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

I’ve chosen this challenge because Nedd’s journey has inspired me to do better, not just for other people but for myself. His efforts have made me realise that really pushing myself mentally and physically and out of my comfort zone will lead to bigger and better things. 

I’ve chosen to join the 5AM Club, and will be listening to the audiobook over this time as well. I have high hopes that starting the day earlier will allow me to do something small every day to improve my wellbeing, whether it be a workout or completing something that I’ve been procrastinating or avoiding. As someone with ADHD, productive hours outside of work don’t come easily to me and it’s time to help myself make a change.

The homeless all over the world don’t have the privilege of a nice warm bed or snoozing their alarm, it’s likely those with neurodivergence's also don’t have the funds to get the support they need through diagnosis, therapy or medications, they wake up with the sun and just get on with surviving, so why shouldn’t I.
