Can you relate? - lesson 49
ADHD Life Lessons I Wish someone told me after getting diagnosed, number 49 of 50.
If you have ADHD your days are often driven by a chronic fear of forgetting. You gotta remember to text back your friend, get that project handed in on time or go grocery shopping and so every 20 minutes or so these automatic reminders jolt through your body making you incredibly stressed out and eventually burned out because you can no longer live in the moment.
This is when I had to learn about the secret power behind trust and relaxation. I learned that over the years, we ADHDers often lose trust in ourselves because of past mistakes but that this actually makes things worse, because, it turns out that thoughts come through better when we’re relaxed and so it’s incredibly important to count on yourself. Yes, putting external reminders in place, but then trusting them which has been a game changer for me because I can now enjoy life by living in the present, all the while producing better quality work because to-dos feel less daunting.
