With ADHD, Everything Can Be Difficult
But
there are strategies to make things less difficult.
Last post, I said that my job is difficult, but I love it.
What helps me is using the power of words and keeping focus on my attitude.
ADHD and the Power of Words
Today is Saturday. I get to go to work on Monday. I get to. I never say to myself, or to anyone else, “I have to go to work.” No, I get to go.
Research shows that ceertain words – “have to,” “must,” “should,” evoke powerful unconscious anti-authority resistance in most of us. This makes it harder to do the task. ‘Don’t you be telling me what to do!’
ADHD and Attitude
I think that’s enough for today. Next time I plan to write about how to work with attitude to make your tasks, like my job, for example, more enjoyable. Hope you’ll enjoy it.
