Dear Friend,
Just a few quick reminders as the last official weekend of summer quickly approaches. Enjoy it!
Stress Management = ADD Management
Have you ever noticed that when you're stressed out, it's more difficult to get to your appointments on time? And you tend to forget more things? Like where you put the keys...while you're already running late for that appointment?
And that during times like these, it seems like every traffic light you approach turns red and you're more likely to accidentally spill your drink all over yourself, right before you walk into that appointment?
The more stressed out you are, the harder it becomes to manage your ADD. The more stressed out you are, the more your ADD affects you in negative ways. And the more your ADD affects you in negative ways, the more stressed out you become.
What a vicious cycle! And we all get caught up in it...until we learn that stress management = ADD management.
Whenever you feel your ADD starting to get out of control, try shifting your focus to stress reduction. Take a walk. Go work out. Talk to a spouse or friend and process your feelings and frustrations.
Do whatever it is that you do to get your stress levels down. You'll find that once you feel calm, centered, and in control, you'll be much better equipped to manage your ADD challenges.
This topic is a key section in my book, Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD, and it's also one of the first topics we cover in the Odd One Out Coaching Program.
I firmly believe that learning to manage ADD requires learning how to manage your stress. If you haven't already noticed the connection, then I encourage you to start building your awareness in this area. I think you'll find that this one tool will make a huge difference in your ability to manage your ADD and move forward in life!
Just 4 Spots Left in the Next Coaching Program - Begins September 9th!
Who says you have to be just like everyone else in order to be happy and successful?
The Odd One Out Coaching Program is a rare opportunity to learn how to work with your ADD and let your inner maverick loose!
In this program, I'll personally teach you how to build your ADD management skills and move forward in life.
Because the group will be small, we’ll have a unique opportunity to get to know each other. We'll have plenty of time to go over materials and strategies, and still help each person individually. In my experience as a coach, this is a winning formula for success.
You learn from the materials presented, you learn from the challenges and successes of your peers, and you get a personal coaching boost to help you maximize your new knowledge and skills!
Specifically, we'll be focusing on:
- Breaking the cycle of overwhelm, which means spending less time feeling burnt out and stressed out, and spending more time feeling calm, centered, and productive.
- Increasing focus and concentration, which means improving your ability to pay attention when you need to.
- Identifying and building on your strengths, which means growing your self-esteem instead of focusing on your weaknesses.
- Using simple and effective time management tools, which means managing your time more efficiently.
- Organizing in an ADD-friendly way, which means spending less time and energy managing your physical spaces at home and at work.
- Working towards life goals, which means moving beyond day-to-day living by adding elements of fun and creativity to your life.
- Making your own rules in life, which means embracing the maverick within you in order to be happy and successful!
The group meets via teleclass for 6 sessions on Tuesday evenings beginning September 9th, and resources will be available online throughout the duration of the program.
There are currently 4 spaces left in the program, which has sold out every time it's been offered. This session will be no exception, so don't delay if you'd like to join us!
