Description

In this episode, Ruth and Rachael take a personal look at one of the well-known traits of ADHD/ADD, Task Paralysis. Our conversation unfolds in true ADHD fashion. It meanders through challenges we face and how we adjust, cope, and manage these traits to date. Here is a loose round-up of our gleanings… 🐝We explore what task paralysis (or ADHD paralysis) is. Rachael shares the difficulty of getting started on some tasks, particularly if it's overwhelming or boring. Ruth brings up neurasthenics and passes on wisdom around neuro aesthetics shared by Dr. T. Swart (neuroscientist and former Psychiatrist). 🐝We dip into task completion-says it all. Do you have to force yourself over the finish line? Are you happy to abandon a task part way through? Or do you need to persevere to the end (often to your detriment)? 🐝Rachael shares her “two bucket” approach to ‘shiny’ opportunities. Plus some extra tips on overcommitting too soon. 🐝Exhaustion in ADHD women and some of the deeper causes. Rachael suggests we start making and keeping promises to ourselves that are achievable, manageable, and energising for us. Ruth talks about the benefits of understanding our Ayurvedic body types as a way of supporting ourselves holistic approach to ADHD well-being, interoception, and listening to/working with our bodies. 📌Links: ADHD Paralysis Article from the Frida Care Team Tuning into Your Body episode from Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee 👉We hope you will join us if you are looking for support and community.
