Do you have great ideas but trouble achieving your goals? Is it hard sticking to tasks that take a long time or that require concentration? Have attention issues caused anxiety or made you doubt your abilities? ADHD symptoms can make you feel overwhelmed and cause difficulty managing day to day tasks. Maybe others have made schedules for you or tried to help you get more organized. But real growth comes from understanding how your brain works, gaining confidence in your own abilities, and learning to treat yourself with compassion and grace as you work towards creating the life you want to live.
