Reill Coaching

Your mental health is a science experiment.

Scientists spend years and thousands of failures trying to find breakthroughs.

To them, the discovery is worth it.

We all benefit from their tireless work.

I’ve been experimenting with everything possible for 20 years to fight a recurring mental health condition.

This week, I made a breakthrough.

In the meantime, I tried about 1000 things that didn’t work very well.

So if you’re feeling like your back is up against the wall, remember that a lot of time is spent in the lab. Sometimes, breakthroughs are accidental.

But just like a cure for cancer, they’re fighting for.

Keep trying stuff.

Whether you're adding a dog or a third kid to your family, you're introducing a new variable to your life. Mental illness is the same—it’s one more factor in everything you do. Acknowledge the complexity it brings to your life and seek support as needed. Balancing it all is tough, and it's okay to ask for help.

3 tips for a distraction-free workspace: (looking at you )

⏳ 1. Pomodoro.

It's counting down in the tab next to me. For those of us with - I keep glancing up there, shocked, at how quickly time passes.

📒 2. Notebook.

This is for every "intrusive" thought - mainly new items for my to-do list. If I don't write it down, I'm going to just end up doing it right now. And that's usually bad .

🖊 3. Brain dump.

10-20 minutes free writing before starting work. This is good for ANY stuckness. I'm clear on my to-do, I'm clear on my WHY, and I've already sat down and had a conversation with hashtag for the day.
