Re: Exhausted from working so hard to focus

This is so hard. It is so true you work so much harder. The faster the pace the more mistakes. It has run me in the ground. The vicious cycle of anxiety, work harder, more anxiety, more mistakes, work harder. People do not understand. “Why do you work so hard?”

My new focus is balance. I have been working hard to change from eating junk food to a balanced diet. I take supplements. I finally found an exercise that fits my adhd brain. I HATED exercise. It was boring, torture. Now I swim and have trouble getting out of the water. I look forward to swimming.

I think balance is the key. Routines help. The more we think the harder it is. Routines put us into a different state that allows us to work without the torture. I put myself on auto pilot as much as possible. The more we think less blood that gets into the Frontal part of the brain. The frontal lobe is like the…..secretary if you will. Dr. Daniel Amen makes the comparison that if you were driving a car the more you push the gas the SLOWER the car goes.

Knowing your strengths, weaknesses pitfalls in advance is one way to work to your strengths and not to your weaknesses.
