[@gaelle4328]

Thanks, very appriciated in general and especially today. GRMA!

[@kaygiddens776]

I appreciate your recovery videos....they do help me.

[@terriestapley5475]

Thank You for this, i needed it more than you could know💞

[@pamaladarsow2763]

I use to walk at an indoor shopping mall when the weather was nasty . Do the thing 👍

[@megmystery]

Good job doing the things! ❤️

[@roisindunne7639]

I think many of us are being called to rest ❤

[@cynthiasalas2429]

Thank you!

[@RowanBlake]

Seems kinda normal to not want to go for a walk in icy rain tbh. I guess you can be thankful you didn't have to get into the ocean 🤩

[@JollyGoodJewWitch]

Got to do the things for sure. Walking my dog is what will be happening.

[@reaganporter4257]

I really needed that.

[@Veganbytheway]

I need to take a walk too and don't want to. This helps.

[@tobak952]

thank youu!! I needed this

[@caoimhingibson2803]

This is a good point. I used to hate winter and would eat, drink too much and be lazy. I eventually forced myself to get out and experience it. My pagan path has now seen me out and about in all weather and all seasons and I couldn't be happier .....even when covered in mud or sleet lol.

[@brookesass6085]

@lora O’ Brian you are such an inspiration, I love listening to you speak, and I have joined the Irish pagan school. I have been feeling called to Celtic spirituality and have just recently discovered that I have deep roots in county Roscommon. I was then reading a book and Something about queen Medb struck a chord with me and then upon further investigation i discovered she resided there as well. I just bought your book on her. And as I read your book I feel not only her power but yours, as a divine feminine being. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your wisdom 🌀

[@alexrandom33]

Perfect timing!! Though I'm sorry we all seem to be in the same boat. Atleast we aren't alone.

[@jenniferdunn8530]

This had perfect timing to pop on my feed as I'm struggling to get laundry done & folded. I've been stuck in burnout for years. Trying to dig my way out.

[@-RONNIE]

It's always good to stay on schedule but don't walk in the cold freezing rain you might get sick

[@EvatheDiva00]

i find it harder not to do it, cause then it follows me around all day as something i should have done

[@liz2092]

I needed this so much I could cry. I am working out 5x a week as part of my contract with the Morrigan and I am STRUGGLING. But it actually helps me to do it because I wouldn't dare not do it. :)

[@VarsityWitch]

The struggle is real. Not sure if your neurodivergence is ADHD-based (as mine is), but you spoke the words right out of my own mind. Thank you for the nudge.

[@hutchison3379]

Sounds so familiar.

[@heathermauldin4951]

I love this video. It is so encouraging and I don’t want to do the things either but my issue is anhedonia brought on by bipolar disorder. I’m going to save this video so that I can watch it when the things show up.

[@davidegyptian8721]

I'd like to apologize to you Lora, personally. I'm sorry for my harsh comments and lashing of criticism about your appearance. I'm on meds as well. Just in the last week. They say I have schizophrenia but it's because I don't accept western ideas about things like how society and medicine should be run and carried out, respectively. Thanks very much for all your hard work and making the teachings of the past available to a wider audience!

[@elizabethmitchell7445]

Well done you!!! I really needed this video and super grateful for your encouragement! Way to go and thank you Lora!!!!🍀💐

[@bethmyers7485]

I try myself to do things that I’m suppose to but sometimes weather for example tends to not be cooperative and I’ll choose something else to consume time with.. I’ve been looking at life from higher perspectives at times… nothing is good or bad it’s just what your desires or perspective is .. Thanku for the motivation to keep going in this world of control and manipulation.. I’m trying to be my real self and the Gods and Goddesses always seem to have my back in the realism .. take care

[@coralkarrass1834]

Keep on moving! Im very excited to see a new video from you. I was drawn to your channel recently especially your videos about The Morrigan. Your words not only have impact on yourself but others. Others who are far from you. Thank you for being candid and sharing with us.

[@IrishPaganSchool]

We are doing daily videos on Irish Pagan Topics on our new Irish Pagan School channel here! - Lora

[@coralkarrass1834]

Amazing I must have missed that. Thank you.

[@myrnadragonchild]

The Executive Dysfunction struggle, I feel it every day. 😩 Do the thing! Seems like y’all got the nasty weather we had last week. Stay warm, and do the thing! 💪🏽

[@timeladyshayde]

Executive dysfunction, plus pathological demand avoidance. Ain't life grand?

[@ciaramorrison1849]

I, too, struggle to do the things. I have been extra struggling to do the things these last few days, so this video came at a time when I really needed to know that it’s not just me struggling through basic tasks. If it makes a difference to you to know your video made a difference or had a knock on effect, it made me do things. Thank you.

[@amicamiabella]

Interesting that moving forward has an effect on our hormones. I have never heard about this but it makes sense. Maybe I should do my walks in the morning? 🤔 Anyway, happy walking and greetings from sunny Germany 🌞

[@bradfordgrey700]

You got this! Do the things ❤️

[@sboo4441]

Go for it, you have motivated me 😊

[@fionamb83]

Ah yeah. When one task, becomes one hundred tasks

[@carmelodriscoll6155]

Thanks Lora ☺️ and good morning. I get like this sometimes and I do feel I’m the only one who feels like this. I have no choice though because when I look at my big dog I know I’ve got to go 😭 rain, hail or shine.. but 9 times out of 10 I end up enjoying the walk 😊 Hope you had a good walk and enjoy your day..

[@kismitj]

doing the thing results in not havin to do the thing anymore. i'm still tryin to figure out a way to convince my brain to remember that Before we put off the 15 minute thing for 3 hours

[@mikereilly7629]

Does the stone at the bottom of the river know that the sun is warm?

[@niknak7513]

Ahhh so many times I've done this before work. I even shed a tear cause knowing we aren't alone helps a lot when you're feeling a bit alone. Cheers! 🤗

[@PerksJ]

Thank you! As a teacher, motivation is what my students report as their biggest struggle. I have been doing mini lessons weekly about researching things like executive function to try to arm them with knowledge and coping skills! They are suffering burn out so badly. I know remote learning has its own problems but we have been in person these last two years, and making it seem like everything is normal is basically gaslighting them. So tough on us staff and students. Btw do you use they/them pronouns?

[@j3tztbassman123]

Does the walk to the loo count? /half-joke

[@WolfCry791]

I wish ADHD was something that would let me willpower through it. Unfortunately, executive dysfunction doesn't work that way. I really wish it did 😞

[@Ogham]

I'm ND and deal with executive dysfunction from both that and c-ptsd. Just for the record.
