How do you incorporate that into the work on the self-acceptance sort of hand-in-hand?
Barb HubbardGUEST
There are ways to mix up your routine and still get everything done that you need it to get done.
Barb HubbardGUEST
I do check it at some point every day, when the inspiration hits, [laughs] right? When it, when it makes sense for that particular day.
Barb HubbardGUEST
I get it done, but I, I don't necessarily have it scheduled at 3:00 PM, and I certainly don't worry about whether my inbox is at zero.
Barb HubbardGUEST
I, I have accepted the part of me that is going to let the, you know, messages build up for a bit, and I trust that I will get to them at some point.

Kristen MasonHOST
Do you ever see the quote, unquote "shiny object syndrome" of not, never quite completing something, and how do you manage that with somebody's goals?
Barb HubbardGUEST
So, um, if it's ADHD, um, I, I love to work with people who are diagnosed with ADHD, and I help them understand how ADHD is affecting their brain and teach them strategies to, um, feel less scattered, to be more focused on the tasks that are most important to them.
Barb HubbardGUEST
Um, I do a lot of education and support around helping people understand and accept themselves, um, because I believe that's kind of the, the root of the issue.
Barb HubbardGUEST
Um, but ADHD or not, because not everybody I work with has ADHD, um, I find that the concerns people have, the procrastination, the overwhelm, are exacerbated by those underlying emotions that I mentioned.
Barb HubbardGUEST
Um, for example, it's really hard to get started [laughs] on a project if you feel like an imposter, right? Um, if you have that imposter syndrome, you're gonna struggle to, to get going.
