ADHD - Seeing the Positives!

We all know that having ADHD comes with many challenges, but I am all about positivity, so I like to try and focus my attention on the parts of ADHD that make life a bit more interesting, and - dare I say it - brilliant.

Here are some of the things I personally like most about having ADHD:

• Passion and enthusiasm. When something really captures my interest, I throw myself into it completely.

• Resilience. Living with ADHD means I’ve had to find a hundred different ways to make things work, which has made me adaptable and persistent.

• Quick thinking. Whether it’s problem-solving, responding under pressure, or coming up with ideas on the spot, my brain works fast. I am very good at doing many things 'on the fly'

• Empathy. I understand what it’s like to struggle, so I tend to notice when others do, which I feel has made me a kinder, more patient person.

• Curiosity. I love learning, exploring, and understanding new things. It keeps life interesting and makes me a better coach, parent, and human being.

Those of us with ADHD know how difficult living with it can be, but if we always focus on the negatives, we won't ever be able to see the positives - and as I said earlier, I am ALL about positivity!
