I cannot count the number of times my "gut instinct" has been right.

Thank you for finishing with the hope that we can change our thought processes.

Overthinking one decision and then impulsive decision making the next.

[@pe9147]

Often with ADHD my intuition gets lost in the abyss and I can easily forget that there’s this “deeper knowing” I have, or it just gets lost in the madness of your constant thoughts. I somehow figure it out on the go but I wish there was a better way to get from thought to action more quickly. This would save me so much heartache, distress and frustration.

[@InkaPley]

So true.

[@skie6282]

Thats why i love backpacking. Just live a bit cheap, and have a sorta end point. For over 1 month all i had to do was wake up, travel west, camp before sunset. Repeat. Bliss

[@b.l70]

This is ultimate freedom!

"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."

[@patriciajames7911]

My sleep has been getting worse. My friends suggested me to tire myself and I must admit the one month I was going to the gym I was out as soon as I hit the bed but then again i had classes going on. Yesterday even though I could barely open my eyes, i couldn't sleep and then i realised it was because there was a lot going on in my head.

[@amandabriggs6880]

I make myself count down from 200. In my head. If just one word or thought interrupt the countdown I start from beginning. I've never got past 180 having had to restart so many times😅it works love x we have to accept that the problem we are focusing on cannot be solved in that minute so put it down till the next day x

I'll have to gradually experiment with listening to my intuition with less risky things to build trust in my intuition. Thanks for the vid.

[@steveschweickert6623]

Overthinking and Perfectionism = Enemies of Productivity…. and, unfortunately, are the rule when it comes to my own personal life… ugh!!

[@Areeba-e1h]

It is miserable

[@karlready7610]

I also hyper focus on things that others don't and it takes me to the place that my perfectionism has to do it this way no matter what they say. It usually is much better than the others but it causes animosity in the work place, lol. But I love everyone and they love me and that's worth more than I can say. But now that I've been diagnosed I'll be even better? I hope.

[@weaviejeebies]

Every time I do this, my family criticizes me for being impulsive Even when the results are successful, they say I'm jumping into things. That's why I overanalyze. That's why I don't trust my intuition anymore. It didn't come from me. I want to start telling people that not all quick decisions are an invitation to doom and to stop feeling like they've got the right to judge and infantilize me.

[@kennethb6211]

People are terrified of change we thrive because things become boring quick and need change. It just scares them.

[@peaceofmindofpeace1650]

I overanalyzed and then still made a decision rhst brought me regrets (selling apartment after a traumatic incident with violence) I think it's not ok for ppl tp criticize you all the time bc whether we have adhd or whatever we all have our strenghts and you are brave enough to jump and do it. Maybe they envy your freedom and creativity in life.

[@fightlikeasquirrel5184]

I usually go with intuition and about 20 hours of deep diving research. Definitely understand the over analyzing part though. Merry Christmas!

[@EchoFaustMusic]

This is a really really good one. As someone with ADHD, and working on air in radio, I was almost forced into doing this at work. Originally I was nervous, quiet, thinking about every little sentence. Now, I just kinda turn my brain off and let the words flow. It's helped a lot. Additionally, I recommend anyone who has ADHD, to look at going into radio. There's always something different to talk about, go over, and hear every day. Helps keep that spark of wanting to go in, and helps with focus immensely.

[@LG-Musique]

Christmas prep is a nightmare

[@kirstenweyter4431]

Sending kind thoughts of self-care and know that you’re not alone. ❤

[@PanHaszaman]

This is so true. Following my intuition made me go sober on New Year's Eve. Instead of going to a party where I didn't wanted to be, I've decided to spend night on the airport, get back home and get back to exercising. Today is 19 days since I stopped using drugs and drinking alcohol. I haven't skipped a day of stretching, meditating and exercising since. Cleaned my diet, my mind and my soul. I don't have racing thoughts, I don't have anxiety and I don't feel the need to keep myself high to fill the void. And all if that came out of listening to my intuition. ❤

[@HumanandAnimalSupporter]

Discovering various ADHD therapies like psychotherapy, behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy has been eye-opening. The diversity in approaches highlights the uniqueness of each person's ADHD journey. It's wonderful to have a range of amazing options available for those navigating this path.🧠💪 I've encountered people who believe that ADHD brings a unique perspective, fostering creativity and optimism. It's interesting how individuals with ADHD can excel in specific areas, contributing to a richer and more diverse collective human experience.🌈✨

[@Gudregerar7]

I have realised this!!! When I don’t know what to do, how to do something etc I just stop and wait…and ta da! My brain comes up with something supersmart!! 😃

[@AtarahDerek]

Trouble is my iNtuition is precisely WHY I overthink. It's extroverted and locked behind an introverted Judging function. So it's VERY good at coming up with ALL the what-ifs, but absolutely terrible at settling on just one of them. And then it decides not to do anything at all, and I get stuck in the Fi/Si loop, and that's why I have avoidant personality disorder. I'm FiNe, really.

[@job5098]

Yeah and also I personally can't concentrate on an overview of options for long enough to compare them and make a ranking, and all the vague and uncertain pathways become scary (because either they are unpredictable to begin with or I constantly fear/feel it's the wrong one). Talking to others makes it better, that helps me stay focused... unless, ofc, you get to talk to one of the 'wtf, you don't have to worry *that* much about it, don't be so stuck-up, just chilll'-people. Then I get to feel guilty for thinking qboutnit on top of it all, too. 🤦 🎶I'm not okay, ...🎶 (I swear, if I'm forced to say "I'm fine." One more time...; My surroundings have had to learn to be informed about the truth (at least a shortened version of it.)(thankfully I didn't understand that I'm expected to pretend it's all good for the longest time; so that's been a relief in hindsight))

[@hispoiema]

People have told me I a "too analytical" my entire life. I am not diagnosed, almost 60, and on a 4 year waiting list... Fantastic video!!

[@KhadijahW.]

Yes! I have a deep distrust of myself, it’s not a cute quirky indecisiveness. Thank you for these insights 😊

[@mohsinakhalid]

2 mins ago my intuition said that "burnt out gifted kids' are just twice exceptional and then i ended up trying so hard to actively think for reasons or proof to support this

[@logiclight]

Yes!!! Trust in yourself - has been a life changer.

[@BrittanyPetrillo]

I highly suggest the book ‘4,000 Weeks.’ It’s not about adhd per se but it helped me sooo much! ✌️

[@katiemossi5975]

One of my biggest struggles is trusting MYSELF. It's easier to determine someone else's integrity based on their own actions. When I try to make decisions based on my own skill set, I'm always afraid because the pattern of my behavior is inability to follow through= potential failure.

[@cosmikgazer]

This one’s great! I had to learn to do this at the grocery store because I spend way too long in the produce aisle choosing. I still spend way too long on onions & romaine, though

[@fakenews8295]

I like your positivity and approach to teaching, too!😊🙏🏼

Damn straight. Our intuition is powerful.

[@kirstinhagglund8788]

This is absolutely true and hard won knowledge

[@tarapranic]

Here here there are times when thinking more is needed and times when its not needed. When thinking makes you miserable its a sign you're barking up the wrong tree. See and feel what you want instead and trust. ❤

[@trufreedom]

Showed this channel to a friend today! Hope he gets as much out of it as I do!

[@JB-qf5ep]

I have really struggled with this so much and wasted so much time. Then I watched Sunday In The Park With George and a line really stuck out to me: 'I chose and my world was shaken, so what? The choice may have been mistaken, the choosing was not.' I have held that in my mind when I've gotten overwhelming decision paralysis and it has helped over the last few months.

[@lindacarlos7960]

You have such a radiance to you ❤

[@inotaarto8719]

Ty for the content. It has been hard to trust oneselfs judgment since i lived 30 years without diagnosis. Now that i understand, i can parent myself and give myself a chance. Its nice 🙂

[@aponytale4820]

Right, I overthink even about the everyday lost things.

[@brendatomlinson]

Such important advice.

[@anitas5817]

This is really true. I missed your presentation but I could see creating an algorithm for myself to limit information gathering and just going with my best decision at the time. I do think myself into exhaustion. All the time with everything. I do t act impulsively or make reckless decisions. I just fail to make decisions.

[@Tilnaor]

I simply cannot put in words how much was this just a the right time. So overwhelming, I almost cried, literally

[@anegdotka1575]

Yes! Intuition, first reaction, 4 times on 5 is correct. Most of the time our brains have allready all the data it needed to make good decision. We just have to believe more, trust more to ourselfs. I believe every decicion is GOOD. We want good result. Sometimes just for oursels, sometimes for others, for the world. But allways we want good results. Consequences of those decisions, that a different thing. Those can be hurtful sometimes. But we cannot afraid of the risk. We have to take it. Just like that. Part of the life. Intuition, decision, risk, consequence. Acceptance❤

[@sachin7488]

you have been very helpful to me through these videos.

[@AnitaBunBun654]

I have a lot of problem with this when trying to figure out what to eat or sometimes even what to wear. Eating is more of the issue so I've gotten in the habit of just flipping a coin and the coin chooses no matter how I feel I always follow the coin and that's something that's helped me a lot.

[@basdzi1551]

Thanks

[@firepatriot42]

This so true. I've realize over the yrs that if I would have on multiple occasions in life I'd be in a better life situation. The other great rhing about our intuition is that we can predict things before they happen jist by seeing the patterns that are occurring that others don't see.

[@sarahleach9997]

Wow that is so helpful.I really needed to have that insight. I have been caught up procrastinating.

[@ppnovoir]

I am this with my thesis right now. I get so deep in doubting my rehearsed responses that I don't even think that I'm even saying relevant things because people in my field like to degrade their students by saying unnecessary words that further lower my self-esteem and self-trust. :]

[@Thomas-pq4ys]

How do you stop? I can hyper focus occassionally, but it is never part of a plan... totally impulsve, but it was fun, productive... gave me the satisfaction of a job well-done. Not every task is fun... and it's those tasks that are so easy to procrastinate on.

[@fakenews8295]

Thank You! Though, adding that this realisation takes a lot of time and self-awareness... mostly after lots of falls (wasting time, energy trying to be normal; being considered lazy). That is why this awareness is ao important(for anyone suspected of having it)!😢

[@silverfire6145]

I’m 16, when I try to draw I overthink it so much to the point I can’t even draw anything nice, but when I draw without a care or just happy it turns out amazing. I wish I could control this and idk if I should pursue an art career if I can’t even guarantee something pretty like other artist

[@Hokage982]

Thank you I needed this today❤

[@lowki9446]

Well I like to get what I want and need, so thats why I overthink things. To make sure I get the best results outta a situation. My intuition is fine. Its saved me from certain death on multiple occasions. Now I gotta make sure I take the next steps strategically. Nobody wants to jump into a house, car, job, contract, etc. So it takes us longer because we value our needs and future. How I see it.
