Ask Dr B – about Mindfulness, Self-Reflection & Executive Function - 034

Welcome to the thirty-fourth episode of Harness Your ADHD Power, and the fifteenth "Ask Dr B" Show.   I’m so glad you could join me today for my podcast show. We’ve got a tighter format, great topics and clear steps to take starting today, so let’s get to it. I’m going to be addressing three inter-related topics today to help you see the path from fuzzy to focused on becoming the successful adult living with ADHD you deserve to be. It’s definitely a journey, one that’s unique for each person. And if you’re on this journey, I applaud you for your courage straight away. Truly! It definitely takes courage and a lot of what I’m going to be talking about today to rise up and become the person you were intended to become. And it’s worth every bit of the time, effort and energy it takes! I want you to have the life you want for yourself as much as any other person can want something for another. I feel it’s your birthright to have a good life and to be happy, and just because you didn’t have that in the first half of your life doesn’t mean you don’t get to have it in the second half; it just doesn’t. And since I’m going to be talking about Executive Function and ADHD, if you need to learn and master some of these skills, then so be it. The time is going to pass in your life whether you learn them now, learn them later or never learn them. Funny thing about time, it’s indifferent to the choices and decisions we make. Did you wake up with questions or confusion this morning? Are you wondering how to get yourself organized? Or how to keep motivated to finish something today? Are you looking for answers? If so, consider sending your questions or confusion over to me so I can help you. I’d love to do that! If you’re like so many other adults with ADHD, you might not know where to start, or how to start. Or what to do when you get to something that stops you. Or maybe you even doubt your own ability to make good choices for yourself and decide whether you should or shouldn’t do something. Whatever is troubling you, ask me. You’ll be doing me a big favor by sending me your questions. Seriously! Just click here and you can Ask Dr B directly.

After 30+ years of working 1:1 with adults with ADHD and hearing from many who wanted to work with me that they couldn’t afford to do so for any meaningful period of time, I worked out a solution. Because the program includes lots of 1:1 work, I limit enrollment to ensure the success of all current students. New limited enrollment is open now!  Only 38 spots available!  Check out my website to see if this might be right for you. A Favorite Quote: George Sheehan, physician, athlete and author said, “Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” The question I have for you at this point of our journey together is “Are you ready to start becoming the person you were meant to be today? And if not today, when?”
