Does anyone else think in pictures?

🔥

I’ve been noticing lately just how much my brain thinks in pictures.

When people explain something to me I usually see an image, an analogy or a metaphor that helps it make sense.

It happens all the time when I’m coaching. Someone will be talking through something that feels messy or complicated and suddenly I’ll get an image and ask, “Can I share what I’m seeing?” 🧐

For a long time I just thought this was one of those things my brain does, but I’m beginning to realise it’s actually one of the things I really value about the way my brain works.

I may not always be great with linear, step-by-step thinking, or spreadsheets 😅 but I am good at seeing connections and joining the dots in pictures.

Maybe it’s one of my ADHD superpowers.

Anyone else relate?
