Ladies :) Music and ADD/ADHD |
Sue T.
| |
I can't work without music on either... the most hypnotic alone time I have had was when I was much younger and had the freedom to drive for hours listening to the radio.
That was meditation to me. For a mind, such as mine, which never rests ... that was my break.
So was dancing :) I love to dance... great stress reliever...
Music has been my faithful friend for many many years... everything I post is straight from my personal experiences and things that I know have worked for me. Before I even knew what ADD/ADHD was all about...
I am reading the book that Scott posted here earlier today, it's really good! It skips nicely all over the place lol and I love that! keeps me intrigued ... and the things I read are not only very good, but ... how do I say...
I have never viewed ADD/ADHD as a problem to be honest. I knew I learned differently, I knew I had to focus a certain way, have certain environments etc., or lists etc., I just did what I had to in order to get what I needed to, done.
I never looked at it as a bad thing. Ever. I'm me... you know? In another post here to Stephanie, the only thing that caused me pain with this gift (I said "gift") was being highly intuitive.
I could see things that others could not. Because I was and am highly sensitive to them... it was childsplay to me. You can imagine, how it would feel to have others not believe me for so long. It was hurtful... I was like, "how could they NOT see!!" LOL Well, because their brain wasn't wired like mine.
I have a friend Dave ... he's said since I'm 24 that I think too much LOL (shocking) I know that's true, so I used to tell him to shut up dork! LOL A little while ago, we were talking and he said it again ... (the dork :) -) and I said... I know I think alot, I'm highly analytical but let me ask you this?
Have I been wrong in the end?
He said, No.
Please don't misunderstand me, when you hear your entire life, you think too much even if it is a good thing, it can start to sound, like a bad thing! I say it isn't. I say "how" we think, makes a huge difference. You know?
Now the good news :) Is that since I've gotten into coaching, read things, learned new things, I can express better what I see and in a different manner that doesn't leave others feeling so transparent.
And now I've come to learn to trust my intuition alot more as well ... which was difficult before because no one saw what I did! So you doubt what you think you see, because no one else can. Inevitably I'd turn out to have seen things correctly.
I handle them a bit differently now that I recognize things differently too... so that's really cool :)
