This!!!

I'm too lazy/tired to type up everything I'm feeling Just to say, this hits the spot

We’re all probably artsy fartsy but because of so many things that need to be done around us is what keeps us from doing our passions, dreams, desires. The mundane things suck the energy out of us, drain our souls.

If you haven’t had that yoke moment with Yoga, switch to Hot Yoga, specifically Bikram. You cannot think about anything else, you’ll just be trying to stay alive! 😂😂😂🔥

What if I have too many interests that I truly wanted to do?

I’m completely capable and have completed many projects “above and beyond” expectations… the problem is that as soon as I’m finished with one project (that usually involves learning and implementing of new skills)… I get bored and need a new project (possibly requiring a whole new team), -where’s others are still wondering how I got the first project done so well and so fast and why I don’t make a career out of it … they look at me with awe and can’t keep up, and this makes me impatient and just wanting to walk away from “stupid” people… but I’m not arrogant and instead feel guilty for my “gifts”… then I just end up frustrated and bored and end up doing absolutely nothing for as long as I can… a state of painful boredom and loneliness basically… or just chilling and daydreaming… Until the next “aha !” moment happens, and I get super interested and engaged once more

I agree with what you had said about not being afraid of doing something that you love to do imperfectly until you get it right. I had experienced shutting down mentally due to the person training me to do a task at my new assignment is very impatient and take it out on me or if the trainer did not properly trained me or show me how to do the task.

Wow, so insightful. Thank you

Add random migranes to that 😂

I was hoping this video would address how to do things that you ARE interested in and yet still can't make yourself do. I want to better my singing voice and learn to be a songwriter, but doing the daily work of showing up to improve those skills is dull and so overwhelming it paralyses me in inaction, so matter how small I make the task (2m, 5m, 10m etc).

This is the advices I came up with for my wife. She needs to do them though 😅

I cannot imagine telling my asian parents this. "You are always lazy and energetic in school how can you be tired?" No hate on them! They are uneducated on ADHD, so I really don't blame them.

The fewer choices you make. Not less. Less is for items that cannot be individually counted. Fewer is for items that can be individually counted. Such as choices. Less water, if you were bottles. Less money, fewer dollars. Peace, love, and why do I love grammar so much?

Its a bit hard when you are looking for your dream job with your specialized degree and cannot find a darn thing.

I feel this SO hard! I left a job about 7 months ago that was stressing me out very badly...reflecting on it (and what I am sure NOT to do every single day in my current job) I put a LOT of expectations on myself that were unnecessary... I've found I can do less and still be highly effective. I also try harder to find people who are more well versed in things I'm unfamiliar with & leverage their expertise to my advantage so I can stress less.

I have so many genuine curiosities in art - none of them are obligations. I just really want to learn how to do every art and craft. lol.

Great video !

Im procrastinating because Im afraid I will regret it and change course and jump on next project as usual

does listening at 1.25x or 1.5x count?

I have all these interests I have developed. I have electronics, video gaming, table top gaming, a home gym and music. I also have a demanding job that during seasons I go non stop while balancing relationship and family. I can't do it all. But I see these interests as bringing depth into my life. When will I get back to repairing my computer? When will I be able to play a board game? When will I get a day off? The truth is I've made some progress in all of these interests. And in an otherwise boring life I have created variety. So it's ok.

NO way you are 50!!! You look 30 at LEAST

Thank you a lot! Thank you!

I had just started a car porter job last week. The company is an affiliate to General Motors. My duties is to drive different cars to different lots around a two to three mile radius or retrieve the cars and bring them back to the main facility. Sometimes driving big vans and Hummers. The driver of the shuttle that takes us to these different lot is a very abrasive, impatient, condescending person who is also the lead porter. He was impatient with me for on my second day he wanted me to take a car to a lot inside this huge complex. I couldn't remember where the lot was. He make the job difficult eventhough he only been employed there for 10 months himself. Through this video I found out I don't like to wait for my instructions giving to me early in the morning. Don't that for 35 years before retiring from my former job two years ago. I finding out that this job is really not what I want to do

0:42 For some reason her just saying "Hotel California" got me thinking of the lyrics from 'California Love' by 2Pac XD

Wow, I learned something! I often have a motivation problem, I sometimes have a mental focus problem, I sometimes have a deficit of working memory -- but I did not know that all three of those mental resources are connected to dopamine. This is very helpful!

feeling so stuck because im in between jobs and i need to register for classes next semester but because its summer i feel like im in a floaty limbo part of my life and it makes absolutely everything impossible to do i just keep sleeping the time away because i feel so overwhelmed and this is an incredible video that is making me feel so heard and validated and now i know i am capable of literally anything!! I just need to have some boundaries and structure set up for myself! Thank you so much!

I'm 55 and only just diagnosed this month. My parents have passed on. I'm still feeling the sadness and anger. I suppose it's early days

This is exactly right.

I’m 34 and just discovering now. Thank you so much for this video, I felt so seen watching it, tears came to my eyes. Wow

Caren, I have ADHD and my doctor said that almost always one or both of our parents are narcissistic. Does this apply to you? Is Mom or/and dad a narcissist if I may ask?

2:11 I know what I am doing!!! You don't know what you are doing?! Boo-hoo! Shame on you! Well I know very well what I am doing AND I am always very confidant that I am doing it wrong.... whatever I am doing 😞

Hitting like button only two minutes in. ughh watching this while im deciding if i should buy a course, when i have a whole bunch i havent finished/implemented. sigh.

Can you make a video about people that have too many genuine interests they want to pursue? I don’t feel societal pressure but simply overwhelm and not knowing how to manage all of my different interests.

I don’t agree with your view on “spending years and years in therapy”. That should never be looked at in a negative way and often “quick fixes” are just that. They are less likely to last because of how quickly they were implemented.

I don't even have ADHD and this is too much talking around the issue and not to the point

I gotta recommend Brili for routines, it's really convenient. When I wake up, I just press play and it walks me through my morning routine (meds, bathroom, teeth...) You can also skip any parts you don't have time for or push one part for later (if the bathroom is occupied for example) and it's soooo easy to use it, even on hard days

How the hell do you manage to put your finger precisely on the button even when you have adhd yourself. I would have taken days to articulate this.

This is me to a tee!! Cycling interests and my wife is over it! I’ve always jumped from hobby to hobby and buy the equipment ending up being a waste of money because I stop and love onto the next interest. What to do?

Regardless of how your brain works, not wanting kids needs to be normalised way more. I’m certain the perceived obligation causes more harm than good.

Oh yay 7:07 in and being invalidated as per usual 👍🙄 sometimes bosses are just pieces of shit who make our lives miserable too lady, christ almighty

This was so helpful for me. Thank you!

Great stuff, but as a creative, AI = instant negative thought spiral. It's hard to watch your content when you're recommending something that's actively being used to steal from creatives, a large percent of whom are ND. Could you please avoid encouraging the use of something many of us see as a dehumanizing product built on stolen material?

Love hearing about you experience & insights! Thank you 🙏 ✨💓

Wish I had enough attention span to get through one of her videos ...

I really want to start running but I’m dealing with insane foot issues right now 😩 I know it would make me feel a lot better

I’m a new subscriber, listening through your videos while I take care of tasks. It’s motivating and your advice is so logical. This channel was a great find. Thank you for what you do :) I’ll listen to some a few times so they sink in.

Hello cutie pie Xx

100% agreement on the experience with sports activities. This is due to the increased release of dopamine. 1000% agree with "Follow your heart, but only if your brain has already curbed your 💖."
