🌿 Wednesday Reframe: Let’s Reverse the Story

Most of us with ADHD have been told a story about ourselves for a long time.

You’re distracted.

You’re inconsistent.

You lack discipline.

You’re too sensitive.

Today, let’s slow that story down and reverse-engineer it.

“Distracted”

Often means your brain is taking in more information than most environments are designed to support.

“Inconsistent”

Usually means your energy is guided by meaning and interest, not obligation or pressure.

“Undisciplined”

Can actually be resistance to systems that rely on control rather than engagement.

“Too sensitive”

Often points to a nervous system that notices nuance, tone, and shifts others miss.

None of this means something is wrong with you.

It means you’ve been trying to function inside environments built for repetition, speed, and compliance not depth, creativity, or coherence.

When the environment changes, the behaviour changes.

Focus stabilises.

Motivation returns.

Productivity becomes more sustainable.

Not because you fixed yourself

but because you stopped fighting how you’re wired.

💭 Reflection for today:

Which label have you carried that might actually be a strength in the right environment?

Share if you feel comfortable.
