Four Tips on Perseverance
When things don't go your way, how do you handle it? Do you see the glass half empty or half full? It's not always easy but we all have the power within us to persevere.
"Knowing is Better!"
This week, I recap some of the articles, blogs, and podcasts around ADHD Awareness Month. Everything from how to use Evernote with ADHD, Shame & ADHD, FoMO & ADHD, why undiagnosed ADHD is so bad, and additional resources to find out more about ADHD. Knowing is better and awareness is the first step towards change!
Going Undiagnosed: "Do I have ADHD?"
Knowing that you have ADHD gives you the opportunity to understand how your brain is wired. And knowing you have ADHD gives you the opportunity to manage it. When you don’t know you have ADHD, you are at a much higher risk for self-medicating, suicidal tendencies, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, the list goes. This month is dedicated to ADHD Awareness, but these risks are dangerous at any time when undiagnosed. This week, I share some resources to shed more light on the impact of ADHD.
Impulsivity & ADHD: "Did I Really Just Say That Out Loud?"
Thinking before speaking or acting can be hard to manage with ADHD. In the latest blog post, I talk about some of the consequences of impulsive behavior and offer some new strategies to help you manage it.
The Power of Starting Small
One of the reasons people get overwhelmed in projects is because they see it as a whole rather than breaking it up into pieces. It’s hard to know where to start and what to do. The same thing happens when building new habits. It's great to have a vision of where you ultimately want to be, but to expect to get there overnight is not very realistic. Trying to change too much at one time is self sabtoge. Read more about my thoughts around why starting small is so powerful and necessary for success.
