Executive Function Skill of Inhibit – There’s more to it than you might think - 058
Hey ADDers! Do you have trouble “inhibiting” your impulses? Even though most of the executive function assessments typically look at the behavioral stuff, like blurting out, touching things you shouldn’t, cutting people off and more, to me there is so much more to understanding Inhibiting than just the behavioral manifestations. What about Inhibiting your thoughts and feelings? By that I mean, do your thoughts and feelings seem to have a mind of their own and “just happen” uninhibited, or do you have a say so in what you think and feel and when you think and feel what you do? I’m talking about the part of your mind that controls the censoring and regulating aspect of your behaviors, thoughts and feelings.
Living Beyond ADHD, a podcast hosted and produced by Dr B, explores why so many adults with ADHD or Executive Function challenges never get past their challenges and live beyond them. That’s what Dr B's work in the world is really about, and she so want that for you, if you want that too. You’ve heard her say many times that you are more than your ADHD; that you are a precious “human being” – even if the “human doing” part of you needs some work and tools. By identifying the root cause issues, and addressing them, whether that means learning skills, strategies or facing and resolving long-standing problems, you can look to a future where you too are Living Beyond ADHD.

Napoleon Hill said, “Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” So, the question I have for you at this point of our journey together is, “Do you know what your greatest desire is, and are you driven to do whatever it’s going to take to manifest your desire?” I hope so because this is your life we are talking about!!!
I hope you are taking steps every day towards your heart’s desire. And, if you need some support or skills or strategies to reach your goal, be sure to reach out and let’s chat. Perhaps ADDventures in Achievement is the place you can become that person with the support of our community and the training I provide.
