Maybe you'll hit a bullseye...maybe you'll miss...
But you definitely won't get the outcome you want by doing nothing.
This week, I'm practicing taking action.
And to be honest...
It's terrifying.
It's so much easier to think of what could have been, what would have been, what wonderful potential I had.
So much safer.
And if you're wondering why it can feel so hard to take some action with ADHD, you're not alone! Research has found that we receive more pieces of criticism growing up, which can lead to self-criticism [1]. This can have a negative effect on things like managing shame and staying in a self-compassionate space when dealing with failure [2,3].
But I've learned over the years that it's only by taking action that I'll get a reaction.
What about you?
What do you need to stop staring at your dart and just throw?
Let me know.
You're fellow action taker.
