Episode 10: Why Can't I Follow a Routine?
Manage episode 433725722 series 3567048
In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was really wanting to get back into a morning routine after having stopped her previous morning routine a few months ago. We really dive into the VERY complicated relationship those of us with ADHD can have with routines. I'll share how perfectionism and black and white thinking were contributing to her difficulty deciding on a routine, and then share what we really uncovered as the root cause of why she wasn't starting a new one.
Routines CAN be great for ADHDers but they can also be one more thing on the dreaded to do list and one more reason for us to beat ourselves up when we're not following them. If you struggle with routines, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode and then maybe begin the process or reassessing the purpose of some of these routines and whether or not you actually want to keep them around.
