Every ADHD adult needs THIS to think clearly!
You owe it to yourself to answer this question.
Under what conditions do I come up with my best ideas (and solutions)?
Have you ever thought about that? There are specific conditions under which you think the most clearly and solve problems the most creatively.
And not knowing what those conditions are means you cannot harness them.
It also means you’re probably trying to solve problems and come up with ideas at really inopportune times.
Like when you’re:
- Stressed
- Short on time
- Overwhelmed
- Distracted
- Etc etc etc
And when you don’t come up with much, what do you blame?
Now, if you ask yourself this question and your mind goes blank, these are not the right conditions.
You need to find out what they are. You can do that super simply.
Just ask yourself this question at multiple times during your week:
Under what conditions do I have the best ideas?
When you get a hunch about what might be an ideal circumstance, test it out.
Here are a couple of mine:
- While walking
- Away from home with just a notebook
- Talking it out with someone enthusiastic
- When I block out two hours and hire a sitter
- Eating a snack
- When I accept where I am as good enough (this eliminates desperation)
- Big paper
I also want to offer to you that one of the reasons coaching is so powerful as a tool is that it offers you a lot of what you might need to think very well.
Coaching is much less about what I teach and much more about what my clients learn about themselves when they’re given the right conditions to pay attention to what they actually have up here.
Come hang out. I’ve got so much exciting stuff going on this summer. I want you to be a part of it!
Muah.
