<description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-family: 'Lato',sans-serif;"&gt;I often hear from many accomplished adults that they feel like imposters.&lt;span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; They have been able to hold things together and advance in their career, yet the toll on them is huge.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; They have created workarounds to get the job done but fear being found out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Work takes so much time and leaves little if any time for pursuing their dreams, hobbies or even cherished time with family and friends.&lt;span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Over time, their self-confidence and happiness has disappeared.&lt;span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Enter… imposter syndrome.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In order to feel confident, you need to be competent in those areas of life you created workarounds for.&lt;span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;

Living Beyond ADHD

Does Your Rambling Make the Point? - 117

MAY 1, 202348 MIN

Description

I often hear from many accomplished adults that they feel like imposters.  They have been able to hold things together and advance in their career, yet the toll on them is huge.  They have created workarounds to get the job done but fear being found out.  Work takes so much time and leaves little if any time for pursuing their dreams, hobbies or even cherished time with family and friends.  Over time, their self-confidence and happiness has disappeared.  Enter… imposter syndrome.    In order to feel confident, you need to be competent in those areas of life you created workarounds for.  In other words, competence  confidence. 

 

Many adults ramble when they speak.  I used to.  I didn’t have a target; I just started talking and hoped I would make sense to those listening if I just said enough.  To ramble on is to speak or write at length and with many digressions, such as rambling on for a couple of hours and your listeners become restless.  Rambling uses up a lot of time, effort and energy – whether talking or writing.  Rambling on is an expression of disorganization or confusion in thinking.

 

Does it take you a while to get to the point in a conversation or presentation?  Do you feel the need to provide all the details you can possibly think of when you are explaining something to someone?  Have you ever thought your rambling or excessive explaining was a sign of executive function skill deficits?  In this episode, I talk about:

  • Excessive rambling
  • Strategies to improve your communication
  • How to develop organized thinking and an organized mind
  • And more!

Developing your Executive Function Skills and shifting your limiting beliefs is the fastest and most effective way to overcome ADHD limitations, find focus, gain confidence, and a newfound freedom in your life! 

 

My mission is to put an end to the worldwide needless suffering of adults with ADHD and those with under-developed Executive Function Skills - whether from ADHD, chronic depression or anxiety, trauma, addictions, or chronic illnesses.  And, you don't need a formal diagnosis to know you need help developing these executive function skills in order to greatly reduce your suffering.
