Hello, and Welcome

G’day,

I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD for forty-six years, feeling like I didn't fit in anywhere.

Since my ADHD diagnosis, I have spent the past twenty-six years reading, researching and testing every aspect of adult ADHD with the desire to become the very best version of myself.

Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way….

ADHD - Creative Imagination

ADHD is often characterised by challenges with focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. However, alongside these difficulties lies a remarkable strength: a vibrant and creative imagination.

Individuals with ADHD frequently experience a rich tapestry of thoughts and ideas, offering a unique perspective that can lead to innovative solutions and artistic expression.

In the right environment, the creative imagination intrinsic to ADHD can become a powerful tool. By embracing rather than suppressing this trait, you can craft unique pathways in your personal and professional lives.

Encouraging exploration, building supportive environments, and developing adaptive strategies enable the transformation of potential limitations into avenues of innovation and growth.

In a world that often prizes conventional thinking, the imaginative leaps of those with ADHD light the way toward diverse perspectives and unconventional solutions.

By appreciating and utilising this natural asset, individuals with ADHD can realise their creative potential and profound positive impact on those around them.

This divergence is not simply a distraction; it signifies a fertile ground for creativity.

 

Nurturing Imagination 

  • We talk ourselves out of our dreams. We let our imagination focus on restrictions or limitations. To be transformed, you must be willing to challenge and change thoughts that impede you from having a higher vision of yourself.

  • Be willing to change your concept of yourself, which means changing what you believe to be true.

  • Your imagination is your domain for creating the life that you desire.

  • Imagine a big life, health, wealth, happiness and living your purpose.

  • You can reprogram your imagination to take you where you intend to be. Be willing to dream and imagine yourself becoming all you desire.

  • Be aware of keeping your imagination free of thoughts that you do not wish to materialise.

  • Forget the past.

  • Use time-blocking and reminders to help channel your imagination constructively. 

  • Visual tools like mind maps cater to the ADHD brain by organising thoughts in a non-linear fashion, allowing for the free flow of ideas.

  • Never let go of your imagination. Use this fantastic gift to your benefit.
