Editor's Notes
- _______________What about having a steering wheel here (visual) and then put something about an alignment or realignment if your ADHD is making you veer off the road (better words to come…JAT) *JAT Just a Thought
- Do you feel like there is always too much to do and not enough time to do it all? Do you feel like you don’t always pay attention to the important stuff?Is your to do list too long?When you wake up, do you have to hit the ground running (&/or have the feeling of overwhelm, wanting to pull the covers over you head?
- Explanation of life wheel representing various aspects of your life – could add more circles but highlight that we kept it simple
- With ADHD and without it? Why is this important to know? _______________________________________________Do you feel like a double agent? (pro’s and con’s of ADHD)
- All of the aspects of your life are interconnected – i.e. how happy you are at home can affect your performance at work, etc. __________________What if we added a whole bunch of boxes… made it look overwhelming and then simplify to our wheel of 4?
- Because at the centre of your life is you. Its your job we are talking about. Your finances. You relationship with the people in your life. Of course each of these things also play a part in the quality of those aspects – your boss, your spouse, your friends ... BUT in life we can only ever start with ourselves. _____________________________________________It really is ALL ABOUT YOU and that’s OK!Maybe just hit on the it’s YOU and then move from this to the next slide and then go back to the info mentioned above
- More importantly – no one thinks about changing their point of view – they just accept it as it is, as if it were gospel truth. Point of view affects everything – how you think, act/react, deal with situations. Is your attitude …. Serving you well in life?
- We’re not here to change you. We are here to help you change your life – transform your ADD so that you can not only manage your life better with it, but thrive with it. Its important to know that ADD is only a part of who you are and not the whole of it. It does not define your identity anymore than your physical description could be explained by just your legs. However, it does play a key role in contributing to who you are - it describes your brain wiring – in other words, it describes how the command centre of your life works. And your command centre does not operate the way other people’s do, though there may be some similarities. __________________I’m not sure about without ADHD …to me you can’t separate it, maybe the +/-’s of it instead…Also think it can help folks reframe how they view ADHD, not just the negative aspects… I used to say ADD isn’t all it’s subtracted to be heehee
- Focus on cons because of….Past experiences- feedback we have gotten from others overtly or indirectly (parents, teachers, employers, spouses, etc)- society – it is structured to suit the needs of the 90% norm who can sit down and do what their told with ease__________How is it getting in your way? Visual (road barrier)
- Hallowell – “Creativity is impulsivity gone right”Because of distractibility we have lots of ideas, we see connections that others may miss- we have curiosity that can lead to innovation - we often “hop to it” while others sit around planning/thinking- we often have a greater connection to inner intuition that guides us
- (Embracing your OS: operating system). Force yourself to run like a PC or let yourself be a Mac and do all the wonderful things a Mac does in its own way????--------------------------------If you’re a Mac don’t try to be a PC if you’re a PC don’t try to be a Mac
- The “OS” is how we operate in the world – Attention – increases when we are interested in what we are trying to engage with – activates the part of our brain wired for the novelIntention – our attention does not always match up with our intention – “how is what I am paying attention to serving me” (PAUSE can help).Engagement – how we interact with what we are involved in. Things that affect how we engage: - Transitions – its not just attention-deficit, sometimes the attention IS there, but its difficult to switch between activities Hyperfocus – on activities or even on rumination – how intensely we engage and then disengage- Learning/processing styles – auditory, kinesthetic, etc...- Values – do we know what they are? Do our actions match up with our values and intentions (integrity)
- I THOUGHT WITH THE ABOVE PITCURE – I COULD PHOTOSHOP SOMETHING LIKE THIS (WITHOUT THE WORDS) TO SHOW DIFFERENT CELEBRITIES OR FAMOUS PEOPLE THOUGHT TO HAVE HAD ADHD… justintimberlake, ryan gosling, will smith, sethgodin, richardbranson (this has been talked about by a lot of people but I have never found any direct statements from him about having ADD!), michaelphelps, jamieoliver, jamieoliver, jimcarrey… Think we should leave Paris Hilton out – don’t really want her as our poster child “If you’ve seen one person with ADHD, you’ve seen.... One person with ADHD”Its different for everyone, getting know your own ADHD helps you to find ways to better manage it ______________________Curiously, I would almost consider pictures of ADDers that went on auto pilot Hilton, Cobain, Love etc …. Thoughts? Showing how talented people left to their own uncontrolled/ mismanaged ADD can go ary … JAT
- The better it will work for you. The more self-acceptance you will find. Acceptance is important because it affects everything. Will you fight your ADD and force your Mac to run like a pc? Or will you run it like a Mac and enjoy what it can do differently?__________________Thinking of phrases that will stick… Know thyself or to thine own self be true… or something like With ADD Knowledge is anything but dangerous!
- Prayer/Meditation/JournalMedia (Reading/Music)Me timeFun/Pamper/Reward/Treat The physical environment and mental environment can sometimes be a reflection of each other. We tend to focus on the external physical environment because that’s what we/others see.
- Physical Environment I am wondering if we can leave this out? JAT because w/ the next slide they could be thinking of a place of “intolerance” themselves… so they own it more it’s their discomfort (especially if someone isn’t a professional they may not buy into this pic or it could be so overwhelming they shut down)
- Mirror Images??? Does your brain feel like your house looks?
- Physical environment slide 3
- Chunking ....Sprinting .... Set timer and tackle a task full throttle for x minutesReframe it .... Make it fun by changing how you do it. Do it to music? Make it a challenge or a game? Remind self of benefits?Get help.... Actual help or a body double.Delegate .... Know when to call in the “experts” and don’t feel bad about it. A professional cleaner makes a profession out of cleaning so is naturally better at it – frees you up to do the things you are good at. Body Double… someone to keep you company while you do it
- Negative thoughts, black and white thinking, jumping to conclusions/predicting the future all interfere with being in present in the hear and now- rumination Negative tapes on a looping track (a form of hyperfocus)Cognitive hyperactivity – can be good (creativity) or challenging (stop you from focusing):- presence and focus is possible – need to think creatively and with curiosity about what activates it `how is what I am paying attention to serving me?”Hyperfocusvs too hyperfocus – hyperfocus can be our superpower, too-hyperfocus (coined by Lucy Jo Palladino in Find Your Focus Zone) is counterproductive. You know it by how easily you tolerate interruptions or can switch tasks (if you are ++ aggravated by minor interruptions, are tense, or can`t stop doing what you are doing – you`re probably in too-hyperfocus) ______________________this is a lot of informationThink/Process/DoFOCUS am I present or am I multi-tasking (to the point that I’m not really focused on anything)
- - Challenge negative thoughts rather than endorse them as truth just because you think them (this could be a webinar on its own)What you pay attention to growsLearner vs mastery model _____________________Learner vs Master ~~~ I like that!!!What about calling this slide “Framing” Verbal dialog about being framed (as in set up for failure) vs. framing it as a masterpiece (Mona Lisa)Mention the vernacular here… ACCOUNTABLEvs RESPONSIBLE etc… how it makes you feel leads into learner vs master framing!
- Auditory, visual, kinesthetic, etc learners processors planners vs doers transtioning getting self prepared to do a task ____________________I think a slide onThinking could be about B/W, ruminating, open to try etc…Process (DID~ I think we need to dumb it down in verbiage)taking new info in, what’s the best way for you to learn? Example going someplace new, Hearing the directions, looking at a map, writing the directions down, listening and then repeating them back… concrete way for them to process this infoDoing prep & planning, list maker, thinker, talker, jump right in, transitioning
- Primary Focus:Work, Community service, school I am dry on this right now yikesThinking I may need to talk to you or myself on this …What you are doing… is it your …
- Once we clear a bit up I think I can take this to the next levels, need to be clear on our direction
- Development Nurture self, direction if vocation/avocation aren’t in alignment … what’s the first step Magical moments/celebrations/success journals/ file of cards etc…Resume building & referencing: adjective assignment (ask 5)If you knew you couldn’t fail….
- 4M Mondays Marvelous Manifesting Mavens if we did this, we could design it like a 4 wheel drive vehicle… I’m getting silly right now! A pink truck with mag wheels ;P
- How about we offer a day one and an evening one? 1st & 4th maybe????
