Happy new year everyone! What will 2012 bring for you and your family?
Of course in grand tradition the New Year’s resolution season is in full swing! And for a shocking almost 90% of you, they have already been broken! So why is the failure rate so high?
Well, I have learned in my experience in becoming a coach, being coached myself and coaching others that the ‘science’, if you like of successful goal setting and completion is not something that we all know about, and even if we do we rarely apply it.
There are specific steps or a formula that you can use to set and complete goals.
This month is typically a very busy one for me, people want to live their lives differently, they finally get sick of tired of being sick and tired and want to make those long yearned for changes. They also realise that by hiring me as their coach they will increase their chances of success, & that it’s a worthwhile investment.
So this month I am busy taking new clients through their goals and desires, also I am presenting on this success formula for goal setting in my monthly workshop and my monthly webcast for Dr Kenny Handelman on the website; www.attentiondifferencedisorder.com
I believe that for people with ADHD its even more crucial to set and achieve goals, we naturally have a lot of traits and tendencies’ that get in the way of goal completion; distractibility, low motivation, procrastination, low self-esteem, living in the moment, poor planning and organizing skills etc.
As a result so many of the people I help are just continually running through life like a hamster on a wheel, very busily doing a lot. But at the end of the year when they take stock they didn’t get to any of their goals.
This cycle just adds to their already poor view of themselves and their abilities.
By taking a more scientific approach to our goal setting we can end this cycle permanently.
How great would it be if you knew that the goals you set will be achieved?
So if you are struggling to set and maintain a successful goal, why don’t you join me on Dr Kenny’s Insider’s website tonight? Or if you are local, at my workshop tomorrow, or even get in touch to find out about individual coaching and what it can do for you.
Meanwhile happy New Year to you all and all the best for a fantastic 2012

Well It’s that time of year again, and I can already feel the pressure beginning to mount.Can you?
Christmas time for people with ADHD can be a pretty scary place.
Why? Well, when you think about all the conditions we work hard to put in place all year long to keep ourselves afloat and ticking over nicely, you begin to get the picture.
Things like; structure, routine and habits, organization habits, optimal functioning from our medication or our diet and exercise plans. Not to mention the avoidance of ove-timulation and over indulgence. Both of which can contribute to our lives becoming even more scattered and unmanageable.
Then consider the normal circumstances of the holidays; the lack of routine, more parties, over indulging in food, drink and way too much sugar! The organizational demands of card and gift giving, and the great swathes of unstructured time.
All of this conspires to create the ‘perfect storm’. So what can we do about it?
Well, there’ plenty we can do, but it does require a little (not a lot) planning… But that ‘little bit’ of planning up front can help alleviate so much of the fall out, and diminish greatly the negative consequences like; the fuzzy head, the emotional highs and lows , the loss of direction, and the feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and even depression that follow.
Next Tuesday the 13th of December I will be delivering more about this topic on my Monthly topic webcast for the insiders program at Dr Kenny Handelman’s informative website; www.attentiondifferencedisorder.com I hope you can come and join me and find out exactly what you can do to help make this season a more peaceful, calm and healthy one for the whole family.
