The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 3

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 3

Once you know the whys, then too, you will know the hows and knowing the hows will give you the willpower for thinking positive. A mind which has been set and programmed to think negative must understand why it thinks that way. There is cause and there is effect. Knowing the cause of why you think negative will give you the opportunity to understand and overcome. The mind has an amazing ability to reason and rationalize. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to be aware of a thought process’s origin. I think this important step of understanding origins is a missed step in many programs for positive thinking.

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 2

Mother, mother tell your children That their time has just begun Bon Jovi- “Keep the faith” — Therapy is a good step… Indeed finding a good therapist is a crucial step in the direction of healing and overcoming any negative long lasting feelings. A therapist will ask questions and you will answer those questions and sometimes you will be surprised by your own answers–I was! The mind has a way of bottling up and holding on to things which no longer can be changed, and, or, may have nothing to do with your life anymore. Finding out what those things are and fleshing them out allows you to take control of them and tag them as relevant or no longer relevant. Obviously, it is not possible to change the past.

The Power of Positive Thinking and Redirection! Part 1

The power of positive thinking and redirection can overcome the weariest of hearts and the most depressed of souls. Hurt, pain, sorrow and guilt can all be overcome. Blame, finger pointing, complaining and remorse are aspects of a mind in pain and although these actions and emotions have their place in the world that does not mean that they are helpful or productive. On the contrary, these actions and emotions cause harm and enhance hurt and pain. — You been robbed You been used You been crucified and You been abused You been sacrificen and Now you’re confused Ain’t it the truth  …. Bon Jovi-“little bit of soul.” — Nobody here on earth knows what you are going through better than you do.

I get very excited talking about potential! Potential is a wonderful thing and I am going to further explain my thoughts concerning our potential as Adders, but, for now, we will move on to… what was it? I sure am forgetful! Aye, yeah, now I remember.

Ty Pennington and ADHD, he sets a good example

Ty Pennington and ADHD, he sets a good example

“A Jack of all trades and a Master of none!”  This is how Ty Pennington has often described himself, and truth be told, it is also how many of us Adders depict ourselves. I have described myself that way, and actually, I still do. The reality is that Ty and the majority of Adders are indeed Masters of a trade, an Adder trade, we are Masters of innovation. Ty is a true master and one I admire. When it comes to ADHD he is ahead of his time, and really, it’s about time someone like Ty came along and help educate society concerning the reality of ADHD and ADD. He takes it upon himself to spread understanding and help bring healing to Adders from around the world and he does not limit himself to only those with ADD or ADHD. He helps many in need. If you have watched his […]

Co-Morbid= Multiple Illnesses or Disorders

Co-Morbid= Multiple Illnesses or Disorders

Co-morbidity with ADDers is fairly common. When I first heard the world ‘Co-morbid’ I was kind of creeped out. I have to admit, the word morbid is involved and to me that sounds kind of, well, morbid. Doesn’t it? Co-morbid doesn’t mean anything like what I thought. Co-morbid is a term used when referring to the fact that more than one disease or disorder is present and they are related in some manner. Personally, I would prefer another word had been selected for such a description. Nobody really wants to explain their illnesses or disorders as morbid.

YoUr iDeAs and cReaTiVity are VaLiD!

Having ADD or ADHD does not mean your thoughts, ideas and creativity are not valid! So many of us with ADD/HD have grown up in a world of invalidation and it has affected us throughout our lives—in our careers, in our relationships and worst of all in our own personal worlds of creative thinking. Adders have brilliantly creative minds. I have said that before and I will say it again. You are a creative genius and you have ideas with the potential to be great! Yes, indeed you do! I have never been more serious about a subject than this. If nobody has ever told you that you are a creative genius, well, that ends now. You are a creative genius! Get up and go look at yourself in the mirror. You will be looking at a person who can create and not just any creations, creations of substance, of […]

© Bryan L. Hutchinson Positive Thinking part2 post1:         Potential The one thing all of us Adders seem to have in common is that we attract attention. It just does not matter what we do. We can stand still and we attract attention. We can be home, under the covers and in a deep sleep and we still attract attention. Why is that? Because we are remarkable? Because we are amazing? Or, because we do things that just don’t make sense and it peeks the curiosity of others? Well, yeah, all of those things, but, I am thinking it’s something more and I can sum it up in one word, a word you have probably heard more often than you can remember: Potential.
