A Perspective
Did I expect too much? Can I figure this out? Everyone else finds this easy. These are a few of the thoughts that occasionally visit my mind. I have come to understand why I get frustrated with organizational task, and it is because my brain does not organize information as a non-dyslexic brain does. Certain task, possibly more creative ones, never pose a problem, however, dealing with computer stuff is a completely counter-intuitive task.
Lately, my approach is to walk away from the scene when the "not getting it" pressure builds. Admitting to myself what I find challenging, and appreciating my response, is a necessary step in gaining and exhibiting compassion for others with dyslexia.
I have at my disposal different techniques for coping with my unique way of looking at the world, and one that I have practice over a long period is meditation. Meditation resets the brain and I come out of it feeling refreshed, my body feels rested and my mind is clear.
I will not give up.

Wish you well mate ... it’s an approach ive adopted of late .. when i run into a dead end and can’t seem to continue with a task , i just leave it for a while & come back to it at a later date .
Thank you for sharing this. I am not dyslexic but I often put pressure on myself now that I have been accepted in to the SAC. It is counter-intuitive so say the least :(
I agree that meditation is a great 'coping' mechanism. It puts you in touch with yourself - your own worst enemy :)
Best of luck on your journey to success!
