Who's the boss?

At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage these issues and move forward. Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This in turn allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift more positive thinking patterns: 1. Take good care of yourself is much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising and getting enough rest. 2. Remind yourself of things you are thankful for and highlights the challenges seem to be pretty bad when you are constantly reminding us of t
hings that are right in life. With only 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference. 3. Look for evidence instead of making assumptions a fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are not usually the reality. If you have a fear that the mood of a friend or family member is sick because you did something, or that co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, talk and ask them. Do not waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about. 4. Refrain from using absolute You said a \' you're always late partner \' or! Complained to a friend \' you do not call me! \'? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like \' always \' and never \' make the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain to believe that some people are unable to provide. 5. Detach From Negative Thoughts Your tho
ughts can not hold any power over you if you do not judge. If you notice a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and not follow him. 6. Squash ants \' \' in his book \' brain change, Change Your Life \' Dr. Daniel Amen talks about \' Ants \\ u0026quot - automatic negative thoughts. These are the evil thoughts that are usually reactionary, like \' Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me \', or \' boss wants to see me? It must be bad \' When you notice these thoughts!, Realize they are nothing more than ants and squash them! 7. Practice Lovin ', Touchin' \\ u0026amp, Squeezin \\ u0026quot (your friends and family) should not be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones and even pets, is an instant pick-me. A research study on the subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed control. She received tips from these customers more than it does in touch! 8. Increase your so
cial activities, by increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people and their positive energy will affect positively! 9. Volunteer for an organization, or other help anyone feels good help. You can volunteer time, money, or your resources. More positive energy you bring into the world, more than you get in return. 10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat rumination If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop is to interrupt the pattern and strength to do something completely different. Rumination is that hyper-focus on something negative. It's never productive, because it is not rational or solution-oriented, it's just excessive worry. Try changing the physical environment - go for a walk or sit outside. You can call also a friend, pick up a book or turn on some music. When it comes to the corporate world, protocol is pretty much the religion. To know the things needed to do are the basics of productivity, but interactio
n with a steady mind makes up the whole thing really productive. There are those who seem to function well even under pressure, but they are uncommon and we are human and imperfect. To get things like stress under our skins will not solve our problems. Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to admit that we are turning to be workaholics than we say we do our best.
