Ever wonder why you'll do anything for anyone else, but sticking to those goals that only matter to you is so bloody hard? In this episode of I Forgot To Tell You Something, Ron and Liz unpack the ADHD tendency to be externally focused and prioritise the demands of the outside world over what we really, really want. Ron and Liz cover:

• Why people with ADHD often find themselves swept up in the praise and validation from others, neglecting goals that truly matter.
• How to cultivate loops of self-approval and stamps of validation for personal progress
• How to loosen your grasp on outcomes and unlock your feel-good chemistry by discovering novel means to savor the journey, not just the destination
• How to slice ambitions into crystal clear, uncomplicated chunks that you directly assign yourself, much like others portion directives for our plates
• Why leaning on being a bit weird when modeling motivational self-talk and strategies can lighten the sting of everyday struggles
• How to focus presence and prevent setbacks from dampening your spirit for too long
• Why culpability isn't a sustainable motivator long-term. Identify healthier incentives to replace guilt's ineffective grip.
