A Fresh Start with ADD / ADHD

Fresh Start

A fresh start for all of us can be a great thing. Nature and life provides opportunity for great starts; a new year, month, week, day, hour. There are all kinds of opportunity for fresh start.

In that light we will begin 2010 with our 12 most common challenges found with ADHD and build upon what we already know. We are also going to be adding to the dozen challenges thereby making it a Bakers dozen, by adding a new one; your Success Style. Your success style is just your unique ways of approaching people, problems, procedures and pace.

We will consider all of these challenges, as I guide you through each of them month by month. This year we will approach each challenge and notice how we are currently navigating the waters of the challenge, how we have dealt with each challenge in the past and what we want for the future. In this fresh start, you are going to take what is already working well for you and build on that. So for this journey you will need a notebook, just something from the dollar store, as there will be homework to help you succeed.

Now let’s get started...In the past you have been successful in building relationships, solving problems, following or making procedures work for you and you can continue to build on that to do it more effectively. The requested assignment for this week is to reflect upon what is already working for you in your life. Write it down so that you can refer back to it during this journey.
I’m looking forward to going through the journey of 2010 with you.
