Embracing Inconsistency as an ADHDer

Consistency may be seen as crucial for success in various aspects of life, but for individuals with ADHD, it can be a challenging and unrealistic expectation. In this podcast episode, the host explores the idea of embracing inconsistency and shifting the focus to persistence instead. Rather than striving for perfect consistency, it is more important to understand and accept our own inconsistent nature. Setting unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of failure and self-judgment. By reframing our mindset and acknowledging the ebb and flow of our energy, mental health, and external circumstances, we can set more achievable goals and build strategies that support our unique needs and abilities. Being persistent in trying and failing, and giving ourselves the grace to start anew, can ultimately lead to progress and success.
