I read some where that saying should to yourself was like always being in cognitive dissonance and I really felt that it made so much sense. for us ADHDers we seem to always be in cognitive dissonance because we’re always stuck between what we feel we want to be/do and what we feel we should/shouldn’t do/be. It’s such an uncomfortable place to be too. This episode looks at what I’m learning about ‘should’ about reducing the amount of ‘should-ing’ I’m doing on myself.
What I’m learning:
1. It’s hard to hold two conflicting thoughts in my head at the same time on the topic about myself
2. It’s hard to change something I’ve always believed
3. Our brains really like to know what’s going on
4. ADHD makes learning new thoughts really difficult
5. Messages from society really impact what we feel we should/shouldn’t do
Takeaway:
Learning to reduce the gap between should and what you want.
