    your brain is secretly ruining your life it's  sabotaging you on a daily basis and you probably
  • 00:00:06
    don't even realize it most of the time because  if you have ADHD your brain is dramatically
  • 00:00:11
    different to that of normal people which leads  to your life becoming dramatically worse if
  • 00:00:17
    you don't understand how to fix it you see your  brain's neurochemicals are lower in dopamine the
  • 00:00:22
    neurochemical that drives excitement leading to  your brain constantly seeking stimulation so life
  • 00:00:27
    doesn't get boring well what if I told you that  this leads to you being more easily attracted to
  • 00:00:32
    fights and drama which is part of the reason why  a lot of us adhders jump into toxic relationships
  • 00:00:37
    even if it's painful at least it's not boring you  know what I'm talking about it's when you scroll
  • 00:00:43
    late at night to find that dark YouTube video  you know you shouldn't click on but you secretly
  • 00:00:48
    desire the chaos and darkness it brings because at  least it makes you feel something it's also where
  • 00:00:53
    there's a high chance you've thought or will think  about clicking away from this video to something
  • 00:00:57
    more engaging but I dare you to stay because I'll  reveal the secret and how to fix this once and for
  • 00:01:03
    all forever and at the end I'll tell you about a  secret technique that you can use to put an end
  • 00:01:09
    to everything that holds you back almost like at  the push of a button let me know if you can relate
  • 00:01:15
    to this you procrastinate up until the very last  minute of a deadline so you finally have enough
  • 00:01:20
    feelings of urgency to get that project done  even though you hate it you still do it every
  • 00:01:26
    single time don't you are you getting a sense for  why you hyperfocus on and activities that provide
  • 00:01:30
    you with instant gratification rather than working  on something longterm because starting something
  • 00:01:35
    new is just more thrilling and gives you dopamine  whenever life becomes too boring you start looking
  • 00:01:40
    for drama or engage in self-sabotage and risky  Behavior since this stimulates your brain and even
  • 00:01:47
    though this often results in a downward spiral  that you know will be difficult to get out of you
  • 00:01:53
    just can't help it this is why life with ADHD can  be such a whirlwind you'd rather experience drama
  • 00:02:00
    than nothing at all let's go one layer deeper  because this stimulation problem is also the
  • 00:02:05
    reason why you're constantly choosing negative  selft talk like I'm not good enough this person
  • 00:02:10
    doesn't like me or I'll never be able to break  this cycle because what could be more stimulating
  • 00:02:16
    and keep your brain active especially when you  want to sleep at night than thinking about how
  • 00:02:20
    you can solve the problem of being a loser who  will never amount to anything but wait hold on
  • 00:02:25
    that word choose are we really choosing  these problems do we even have a choice
  • 00:02:30
    in the problems and stimulations we Chase if  we have a dopamine deficient brain what do
  • 00:02:34
    you think it's interesting because while it may  be difficult to choose in the moment perhaps we
  • 00:02:40
    should have chosen a different path altogether  right from the beginning but maybe it's also
  • 00:02:45
    not too late to start in fact right now maybe  even the best moment to start let me explain a
  • 00:02:52
    few years ago I became aware of all the negative  problems my ADHD brain purposely attracts into
  • 00:02:57
    my life and I learned about the fact that this  will never go away because ADHD will likely be
  • 00:03:03
    with you for the rest of your life which gave  me a choice to make either I keep following
  • 00:03:09
    the path I'm on right now chasing problems and  stimulation to the detriment of my physical and
  • 00:03:13
    mental health yes my brain won't get bored and  I'll be stimulated 24/7 but chances are this
  • 00:03:19
    path won't last long it's a fast life or I go with  option two what is option two well before I tell
  • 00:03:26
    you what it is it's important to understand that  problems can can be both positive and negative a
  • 00:03:32
    positive problem is a challenge for you to master  it's not an obstacle but a stepping stone it will
  • 00:03:38
    keep you engaged and give your brain stimulation  all the while propelling you forward everything
  • 00:03:43
    changed in my ADHD Journey once I realized that in  order to not derail myself I always need to have
  • 00:03:49
    intense things going on in my life but that these  can also be positive but let's talk about you yes
  • 00:03:56
    you the person watching this right now hey how  you doing what do positive problems challenges
  • 00:04:03
    look like for you well since your brain always  needs something to fix maybe you should fix for
  • 00:04:09
    a living in fact why not make fixing your main  occupation an occupation should keep you occupied
  • 00:04:17
    after all for example the data shows that a lot of  Consultants entrepreneurs or emergency responders
  • 00:04:23
    have ADHD because the crazy thing is that your  constant need for stimulation actually gives
  • 00:04:29
    you the unfair advantage of very often being the  best Problem Solver in the room and so maybe just
  • 00:04:37
    maybe you need to find a job that always gives  you something new to fix new all right let's
  • 00:04:42
    not forget about novelty because new things not  only help us stay stimulated but also give us the
  • 00:04:48
    best problems to solve you travel to a new country  can't speak the language but somehow still manage
  • 00:04:54
    to rent out a scooter for the month it's these  experiences that we learn something from that
  • 00:04:59
    we grow from and also let's not forget about what  happens when we dedicate ourselves to a new place
  • 00:05:06
    or project we meet new people one of the most  stimulating and interesting things is connecting
  • 00:05:12
    with people that you can learn something from who  have a different and New Perspective that helps
  • 00:05:17
    you see the world just a bit differently is all  of this not stimulating is all of this maybe the
  • 00:05:23
    only thing you have to do if you have ADHD well it  all sounds great and hopefully makes sense to you
  • 00:05:29
    but still none of this would work until you  fundamentally reframe your beliefs to understand
  • 00:05:35
    this one thing your ADHD brain will be stimulated  by things it wants to do not things it should do
  • 00:05:42
    you have an interest based brain that you have  trained on your wants and needs and so the most
  • 00:05:49
    important thing for you is to find interest in  growth no I'm not talking about leg extensions
  • 00:05:55
    I'm also not necessarily talking about money  growth is very personal and comes in many forms
  • 00:06:01
    it can be spiritual it can be working through  challenges in therapy yes it can also be career
  • 00:06:06
    oriented but the most important thing is just that  you become a more fulfilled person with positive
  • 00:06:12
    energy through it and realize that the problems  you solve when you're on the Journey of growth
  • 00:06:17
    disproportionately affect your energy levels  compared to those other more negative problems
  • 00:06:23
    because while negative problems suck you dry  positive challenges charge you up over over time
  • 00:06:30
    which will lead to you being able to master even  bigger challenges down the road growth attracts
  • 00:06:36
    growth if you chase challenges instead of problems  you will simultaneously attract incredible results
  • 00:06:44
    you will finally use your brain to your advantage  instead of being enslaved by it you just need to
  • 00:06:50
    reorient your focus I know for most of you this  might seem impossible right now video games and
  • 00:06:56
    parties might be the most interesting thing or  maybe you're stuck in the loop of self-sabotaging
  • 00:07:00
    behaviors we talked about earlier and I get  it I've been there but just imagine you wake
  • 00:07:07
    up in the morning and can't wait to get out of bed  just imagine having the same hyperfocus and energy
  • 00:07:14
    that you have for video games for your life just  imagine the thrill of leveling up in real life
  • 00:07:21
    every day I know it almost sounds too good to be  true but it is possible how well through Having
  • 00:07:28
    the courage to try an experiment an experiment for  30 days where you see yourself in the future not
  • 00:07:35
    the past an experiment where you allow yourself  to believe in your highest calling an experiment
  • 00:07:41
    where you notice negative selft talk but choose  not to believe it where you don't people please
  • 00:07:47
    but where you go deep inside yourself and truly  ask what you need to accomplish in your life to
  • 00:07:52
    feel more accomplished and what has the highest  likelihood of giving you that feeling every day if
  • 00:07:58
    we're talking about ask yourself what interesting  challenges will help you earn money write down
  • 00:08:05
    what you're interested in what you're good at and  what can help you earn the most and then find the
  • 00:08:11
    intersection between those three sectors choosing  that path will likely facilitate growth in every
  • 00:08:17
    aspect of your life both mentally and physically  don't make the mistake of staying in a job just
  • 00:08:23
    because it pays well remember the journey is  not supposed to be easy that's the point we ADH
  • 00:08:30
    need the challenge that comes with growth it's  absolutely necessary to keep your brain stimulated
  • 00:08:36
    yes it might seem risky right now and it is again  that's the point but also maybe the even bigger
  • 00:08:43
    risk is sacrificing yourself for the longterm  because even though the only risk we see is
  • 00:08:48
    often right in front of us the biggest risk of all  may be to not take any risk at all if you don't
  • 00:08:54
    know where or how you want to grow yet that's okay  some things only reveal themselves on the journey
  • 00:09:01
    so don't be afraid to just try different things  out and start there's no failure just progress
  • 00:09:08
    and thankfully trying things out already comes  naturally to you because throughout the years I
  • 00:09:13
    learned that we adhders have a lot of challenges  but something we usually excel at is taking risks
  • 00:09:21
    trying something new and leaving our comfort  zone is essential for this experiment to work
  • 00:09:26
    and you already have an unfair Advantage when it  comes to starting you work best when needing to
  • 00:09:32
    solve problems because they stimulate your brain  which begs the question what kind of problems
  • 00:09:39
    do you really want to solve let me know in the  comments don't stop chasing stimulation simply
  • 00:09:46
    stay stimulated through growth to get there you  need to set a goal that's so stimulating it lights
  • 00:09:53
    a fire inside of you each and every day for me it  was becoming a full-time content creator because I
  • 00:09:59
    always loved watching movies and telling stories  but if I'm completely honest with you the road
  • 00:10:04
    and getting there was anything but easy I also  struggled a lot with inconsistency poor focus and
  • 00:10:10
    just a lack of executive function in the beginning  when I was chasing this goal I was missing uploads
  • 00:10:15
    constantly not making any progress for years  on end at one point I was even on the brink
  • 00:10:20
    of giving up I was so frustrated because I made  so little progress over a few years and realized
  • 00:10:27
    if I keep going like this my dream will never  become a reality I thought I was just not able
  • 00:10:32
    to execute on it consistently enough to ever make  it work but I didn't give up just yet after tons
  • 00:10:39
    of trial and error I discovered a science-backed  process that allowed me to consistently focus and
  • 00:10:44
    execute without any executive dysfunction or  procrastination this made consistent execution
  • 00:10:51
    easy as pie I was uploading consistently and a  few months in I started growing like crazy on
  • 00:10:57
    social media to the point where I was able to quit  my job and pursue it full-time it was insane and
  • 00:11:03
