00:00 Understanding Rushing in ADHD
08:50 The Three Levels of Rushing
18:23 Breaking the Cycle of Rushing

Summary

In this episode, I discuss the common trait of rushing among dysregulated ADHDers. I emphasize the importance of slowing down to improve executive functioning and offer practical strategies to interrupt the cycle of rushing (yes it's a cycle and we are trapped in it!) We go over the three levels of rushing—physical, mental, and impatience—and highlight the need for self-awareness and mindfulness in making changes. I'm excited to see what you notice if you choose to practice these shifts this week!

Takeaways

  • Rushing is a major issue for ADHDers (even though a lot of the time it can feel helpful).
  • It signals danger to the nervous system, causing dysregulation!
  • Rushing skews our perception of time and creates a scarcity mindset.
  • There are three levels of rushing: physical, mental, and impatience.
  • Challenging the belief of 'not enough time' is crucial.
  • You can achieve more by doing less when regulated.
