Have you ever had the feeling that your brain works differently than other people's? For example, you have difficulty concentrating on small and basic activities, such as your morning routine, filling out reports at work, or cleaning your room. But at the same time, you can fully focus on a highly complex project and work on it for hours. This approach often turns life into chaos, so you can easily lose touch with reality and think this problem is unsolvable. If you recognize yourself in this description, you most likely have ADHD, also known as *attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.*
Let’s look at the scientific side of this syndrome. The bodies of ADHD people usually do not produce all the necessary chemicals, such as serotonin, adrenaline, and dopamine, needed for complete concentration. That is why such people can concentrate 100% at one moment but cannot focus even on small everyday tasks at another.
In addition, people with ADHD often suffer from forgetfulness and absent-mindedness. They may have difficulty sleeping and relaxing, as well as proneness to increased levels of depression, impulsivity, and anxiety. However, such people are incredibly creative and courageous. They often develop unusual, innovative ideas and are not afraid to implement them. Prime examples of people with ADHD include Leonardo Da Vinci, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, and Albert Einstein.
These innovators often looked at the world from a different angle, and even if others did not see the point behind their ideas, they still embodied the most daring goals. For example, Henry Ford became famous after inventing the automobile. At that time, the only fast thing people could imagine was a fast horse.
This shows that ADHD is a superpower and not a curse, as it is commonly believed. The main thing is to learn how to use your abilities correctly and control ADHD. This can be done through the following techniques.
