Kayla Amaya asks me to open up the area of “Memory Loss and #Neurodivergence”
This episode comes out tomorrow: AUDHD ME & MO Podcast Link: https://lnkd.in/diPdYfZn
1. Setting a “Doing Goal” Instead of a “Thinking Goal”
• A common challenge for individuals with ADHD is getting stuck in analysis paralysis. Setting action-oriented goals, such as committing to physical exercise rather than overthinking routines or plans, helps bypass the need for excessive executive function. The concept of doing rather than pondering aligns well with behavioral activation strategies.
2. New Working Memory Techniques
• In my book, “The Thirteen-Hour Life Coach”..Link: https://lnkd.in/etzzn_ap emphasizing creative strategies to extend or adapt working memory is key.
3. Blackouts (and Podcast Discussion) : https://lnkd.in/dvXkh-Ad
• Cognitive blackouts, often described as living with a memory of complete blankness.
4. Executive Functions and Their Role
• Executive dysfunction impacts time management, prioritization, and impulse control. Highlighting this connection in your podcast provides listeners with a foundational understanding that can lead to better self-awareness and strategies tailored to their challenges.
5. 20-Minute Concentration Span
• Recognizing the typical limits of focus for neurodivergent individuals (often around 20 minutes) is crucial.
6. The Power of Positive Narratives
• A lack of positive stories in neurodivergent experiences can perpetuate feelings of inadequacy. Encouraging reframing and self-compassion, along with sharing success stories, helps foster a more empowering outlook.
7. Check out the episode with Ron Sterling M.D. . Our conversation is amazing
By integrating these concepts into your mentoring and coaching program with me, I offer a comprehensive toolkit that goes beyond theoretical knowledge—grounding it in practical, lived experience. For those interested in actionable strategies, my program is a very supportive step forward.
