Ten Week Integration Reset — Week 3: Stepping Into Practice

Here's what happens the moment you actually try to do the thing: ADHD shows up at the door.

Not the just saboteurs this time — they came last week. This is the threshold moment, that gap between thinking and doing where ADHD does some of its best interference work. ADHD emboldened Saboteurs and we get he avoider rationalizing. The five-more-minutes loop. The conditions-aren't-quite-right perfectionism from Stickler. It's all waiting right there at the inflection point between intention and action.

This week Cameron turns the spotlight on that threshold — and asks you to meet your ADHD there with curiosity and compassion, the same way you met your saboteurs last week.

But first, a check-in with something worth sitting with: many of us carry a serious empathy imbalance. Plenty of compassion for others, almost none for ourselves. Cameron makes a direct request this week — try to extend to yourself even a fraction of the grace you'd offer anyone else. It matters more than it sounds.

He also takes on healthy skepticism: why are we looking at emotions in a coaching model, and is Positive Intelligence just oversimplified neuroscience-lite? He doesn't dodge either question. And he walks through his own four-element example — inner space, outer space, context and lived experience, ADHD — with more honesty than strictly necessary, including a confession about the snack cabinet that may or may not get him Weight Watchers ads on YouTube.

HMS Conviction is coming out of dry dock. It's time to step across the line.
