Living With ADHD

ADHD Symptoms

ADHD Symptoms are often examined as how they can be treated, as opposed to how they can be reduced. Instead of looking to treat the symptoms of ADHD directly, it can often be better to reduce them completely so that treatment isn’t needed. I’ll explain.

For a moment, let’s imagine that you don’t have ADHD, and you don’t have your ADHD symptoms. Instead you now suffer from Celiac disease.

For those of you who are unaware, Celiac disease is a condition which damages the lining of the small intestine when foods containing gluten are eating. The damage results in an inability to absorb the parts of the food that are important for staying healthy, and can result in diarrhoea and flu like symptoms. Not a great way to spend three days.

With your newly found condition of Celiac disease, you have two options. You can either eliminate your intake of Gluten based foods and products to reduce your experience of symptoms and their severity, or continue to have Gluten based foods and products and treat the intensified symptoms that this action creates.

Naturally, you’d choose to take the path of action that reduces your experience and severity of the symptoms. Treating symptoms that you can avoid or reduce in the first place doesn’t make sense. As they say, the best cure is prevention.

ADHD and it’s symptoms are no different. I’ll explain.

Just a casual Wednesday with the Krav Maga Defence Institute‘s conditioning crew.

Every week I put my body under extreme duress for a short period of time. I push myself to my limits to the point where I want to crumble into a heap on the floor, and then I push a little further.

And in that moment, what I thought I was capable of is overtaken by what I’m actually capable of.

What Are You Really Capable Of?

When someone tells you that you’re about to do 150 lunges, 300 situps, 60 pushups and 300 skips as fast as you can, you start assessing the situation. Can you do this? How fast can you do this? Will you have to give up at some stage? What’ll it take for you to pull this off?

After a few seconds of deliberation you’ll come to a conclusion. You’ll have a belief about how long it will take you, what you’ll need to do to pull it off and how you’re going to feel afterwards.

And if you’ve been “realistic” with yourself, you’re probably wrong about the answers you’ve given yourself. You’re capable of so much more.

I’ll explain.
