Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD.

Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.

Hey what's up, happy New Year, my people.

You are listening to the I have ADHD podcast episode number 38. I am your beloved

host Kristen Carter. I am medicated. I am caffeinated and I am so ready to roll. It is another gray day in Pennsylvania.

I want to tell you a little secret. I recorded this entire podcast yesterday and then my computer got really mad at me because it's

overloaded on storage and something went wonky with the recording and I'm doing it again today.

Sometimes we give our best effort and things get screwed up.

What that used to do was paralyze me.

I would throw in the towel.

I would say forget it. This isn worth it it's not going to work now I

understand the concept of massive action which is just simply taking action

until you get the result that you want, no matter what.

And so here I am today, in my bathrobe, sitting here with my coffee, my water, looking out the window at the gray sky in Pennsylvania and

just thinking about how sometimes we have to do things a million times until they're done. I don't know if you ever

have that experience or if it has been paralyzing to you when things get hard or

when you just feel like it should be easier.

And I just want to offer to you that it shouldn't be easier.

It's hard. Life is hard.

Being a human is hard. It shouldn't be any easier than it is. It's just this just is the way it is.
