What did you do right last week? Where did you fall short? Which list is longer?
Unfortunately, as is true for many adults with ADHD, you may find that the latter one is longer. This may be a result of your poor memory, as well as your tendency to focus more on what you did wrong than what you did right.
Is this true for you?
You may not be used to celebrating when things go well. But celebrating, even the smaller victories, is important to your success.
In fact, in their book, Delivered from Distraction, Drs Ned Hallowell and John Ratey list Celebrate Victories on their Top Tips for Adult ADD. They note that,
…it is important to allow the victorious moments to get into your system so that they can sustain and nourish you.
So, how does celebrating your victories sustain and nourish you?
