And now for perhaps the shortest ADHD Success in history.
Just a teensy assignment.
Say, “I approve of myself” at least 100 times a day.
Don’t make a big deal of it. Just say, “I approve of myself” as you go about your days.
No need to count or chart. Just say, “I approve of myself” a whole bunch.
Expect to feel uncomfortable at first.
You might even cry. I did.
That’s normal. You’ve probably spent years saying horrid things to yourself. Changing that message can be hard. But, it’s important for ADHD success.
Extra credit for saying, “I approve of myself” while you’re looking in the mirror.
And, if you think about it let me know how it goes.
To Your ADHD Success,
PS – As you read this did you think something like “This is stupid. Who is she to tell me what to do”? Then you have a different assignment. Say, “I approve of myself” 200 times a day.
