Episode 4: I Need to Organize my Life!

Monday Morning ADHD Coaching

Send us a text

In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was feeling really anxious about her classroom being such "a mess". She was getting really frustrated and stressed out about how much of her time is spent looking for things she can't find, and was really wishing she could just be more organized. I will share how, through the coaching process, we uncovered the thoughts that were creating a lot of overwhelm as well as shame, leaving her exhausted and unable to figure out where to start, let alone do anything about it. I'll discuss the effects of our negative self talk on our emotions and energy levels, as well as how understanding our brains can help us shift to a more compassionate way of speaking to ourselves. We also discussed how overwhelm can REALLY prevent us from taking action and I explain how Newton's Law of Inertia is basically describing those of us with ADHD.
I know organization and losing things is something SO many of us struggle with and often times, our thoughts are really keeping us from finding systems that do work for us. Main stream/neurotypical advice about the "correct" way to be organized doesn't tend to work for ADHD brains which is why it's so important that we really consider what DOES work for us and let go of how it's "supposed" to look. Make sure to listen for some important strategies and things to consider when addressing "the mess"!
