The ADHD CreativeBeing Proud. Having Pride.Being proud of what you've done or accomplished and or having pride about the same is important in our lives. It keeps us centered and moving forward, at least for me, but I wonder about others. Does everyone with disabilities feel the same way? Do others feel the same way I do "damn the torpedoes, they say," and go with it? Let me know. I've added this link to our Buy Me A Coffee page. It's on the main site, but not everyone goes there.

The ADHD CreativeWhen Changes MatterJimmy Buffett has a song that made a great deal of sense to me when I first heard it titled Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. For me using visualization to help with anxiety and those trying creative moments living with ADHD, things were easier to deal with the first time I heard that song. It reminded me of my visualization techniques only in real life. I loved the ocean or, for that matter, any body of water that made me feel good. Living in New York City, I also loved just taking long walks. I would get out o...2022-11-1607 min

The ADHD CreativeTopics, Topics, & More TopicsI'm not one to think about my topics for the show until I start the show. I do that because I like spontaneity or improv, so to speak.

The ADHD CreativeThe Dark Side of ADHDIs there a dark side or downside to ADHD? I wouldn't call it a dark side or downside. It's more like an ultra-creative side. By that, I mean when so much creativity enters your brain at once, and you can't figure it out, frustration becomes the answer. You may even buildup some anxiety or go as far as being depressed.
