Do you know that working from your Strengths can be highly energising? It is almost as if you expend less energy, or even gain energy back, when you engage in activities that are highly Strengths aligned.

Working in a strengths-based way can be a wonderful way to start making your way out of a lull or a burnout.

Having the accountability of a coach and a group of fellow participants helps you implement the strategies and insights you are learning about even more effectively

When you have ADHD a part of what can get in your way is not having enough free flowing dopamine available in your brain to help you activate on tasks. This is even more difficult when the task is hard or boring, or the idea of starting on it generates stress in your system.

This leads to procrastination, feeling stuck and very often a self-judgement spiral that leads to a lot of negative self talk.

If that is how you start your day, it can affect the rest of your day negatively. Starting the day in a good flow on the other hand, tends to positively affect our outcomes for the rest of the day.

One thing you can so do support yourself is frontload something short, fun and easy right before difficult tasks. This is sometimes called "priming the dopamine pump".

If you try it, let me know how it has worked for you. If you feel you need a little more help figuring out the specifics of this in your particular situation, so you can start trying this: I'd be happy to support you as your ADHD coach!

Play is essential for ADHD brains because in being playful we get to stay out of the bad rumination that can often coincide with "relaxing" activities that neurotypicals sometimes prefer. Just relaxing can turn on our negative ruminations, or our overthinking brain.

In play we get enough of the neurotransmitters that engage our brain and make entering a flow state easier. But because it is PLAY -and not work- the stressors of needing to win, succeed or be perfect are absent. Here is where our creative, associative brains really get to shine!

How do you PLAY?

Growing up I was taught emotions matter and should be taken seriously. But I was also frequently punished for how emotions would overtake me. I struggles with that conflicting messaging until i learned more about how ADHD affects emotions, and our capacity to manage emotions and the impulse to act on them.

Working with emotions and ADHD is perhaps the most interesting work I can do as a coach. Because emotions DRIVE us. And taking care to develop a good understanding of what our emotions can tell us, and how we can use our understanding of emotions to write new behavioral scripts for OURSELVES that serve our future goals is the pinnacle of coaching work in my opinion.
