Do What You do Well and Make It Stronger

ADHD Education

The pressure to perform is based on established standards that limit your ability to use your strengths. There is so much emphasis to meet established standards of performance that limit the options your brain is hard wired to pursue.

When you have to do things in a set, uniform way where you must conform to a set number of options you limit your ability to access your natural ways of doing things. You end up having to use your weakest areas of your brain. This kind of focus will exacerbate your impairing challenges of ADHD. To add negative fuel to the fire, there is also a pervasive belief that one of the ways to move up the ladder of success in school or at work is to focus on improving your weakest areas and work to make them stronger. Have you ever met anyone that reached peak of their success by focusing on making their weaknesses stronger? You get ahead in life by finding out what you already do well and doing more of it. Identify what you do well first and then work to make what you do well even stronger and watch your performance improve every time you do.
