The Only Consistent Thing about ADHD

The week before Pesach you were moving fast - scrubbing, shopping, cooking. But this week, instead of making those medical appointments, you're googling how to make homemade crayons.

At the end of the chag you swore off sugar forever. But now, cookies are your balanced meal (eggs = protein and sugar cane is a vegetable 🙂) and gummy bears are your emotional support animal!

The only thing consistent about you is that you're inconsistent!

Here's what no one told you about the nature of ADHD:

Your brain doesn't run on steady fuel. It runs on interest, novelty, urgency, challenge. And those things fluctuate. So your performance fluctuates too.

Not because you're lazy. Not because you don't care. But because you have a brain that delivers dopamine inconsistently.

And here's how I help you work with it...

Stop aiming for perfect streaks and start focusing on consistently getting back on the horse.

That's it. That's the goal. 🐴

Not: "There we go again, I've neglected to exercise this whole week. It's impossible."

But: "That was then and this is now. What got in the way? What can I do differently this week?"

ADHD consistency looks like this: 

"When I fall off, I will forgive myself and get back on."

Without the shame spiral. Without the victimhood. Because then you can focus on creative problem-solving, and that's something that ADHD brains are amazing at.

The win isn't staying consistent forever.

The win is shortening the time between falling and climbing back on the horse.

A few weeks ago, I ran a free training called It's Not You, It's ADHD, where I shared the three steps to creating consistent good habits with ADHD.

Here's some participant feedback:

- I feel encouraged and hopeful with new possibilities in mind.

- I'm taking away that inconsistency is not the opposite of consistency, it's part of the journey.

- Thank you! That explains so much! And so inspirational!

Watch For Free
