Summary

Today we are discussing the importance of acceptance in managing ADHD and the detrimental effects of fighting reality (when we do not accept what is). Acceptance does not equate to complacency but rather allows us to move forward and make change. We will be diving into the relationship between dysregulation, energy management, and sustainable change.

Takeaways

  • Acceptance is crucial for managing ADHD effectively.
  • Fighting reality leads to dysregulation and energy depletion.
  • Sustainable change comes from acceptance, not force.
  • Judgments and 'shoulds' hinder progress and acceptance.
  • Being present is essential for effective action.
  • Energy management is key to avoiding burnout.
  • Acceptance allows for realistic goal setting and progress.
  • Self-reflection is best approached with curiosity, not judgment.
