‘Should-ing’ on Myself

I read some where that saying should to yourself was like always being in cognitive dissonance and I really felt that it made so much sense. for us ADHDers we seem to always be in cognitive dissonance because we’re always stuck between what we feel we want to be/do and what we feel we should/shouldn’t do/be. It’s such an uncomfortable place to be too. This episode looks at what I’m learning about ‘should’ about reducing the amount of ‘should-ing’ I’m doing on myself. What I’m learning:1. It’s hard to hold two conflicting thoughts in my head at the same time on the topic about myself2. It’s hard to change something I’ve always believed3. Our brains really like to know what’s going on4. ADHD makes learning new thoughts really difficult5. Messages from society really impact what we feel we should/shouldn’t doTakeaway:Learning to reduce the gap between should and what you want.Connect with me: On IG @theadhdgoodlifeOn FB @adhdgoodlifeOn Twitter @theadhdgoodlifeSite: www.wellnessandwhiteboards.com Click for my free EBOOK on self-compassion: They Were Wrong About You!Intro & Outro music: Joseph McDadeT-shirt on my Cover:  ND RenegadeSupport the show
