“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” — Henry S. Haskins

Lately, you’ve been going through a rough time. Maybe you are going through a new transition, like starting college or university, and are having trouble adjusting to all the free time. Or you’re a new parent and realising your strategies are not working as well as they used to. You’re having trouble managing your time, which has important consequences on your life, like missing appointments. Maybe you are also struggling to manage your finances. You have all these unfinished projects. Your performance at school or work is suffering. Your daily routine is a mess. Your sleep and eating habits are all over the place. Exercise or things that help you relax aren’t happening for you.

Your attention span isn’t as good as others’. People complain that you don’t listen to them. No matter how hard you try, you have trouble paying close attention to details. You seem to make mistakes all the time and want to give up. Your memory is bad, you get distracted easily, and you lose stuff all the time. It’s hard for you to stay focused on tasks that require sustained mental effort. Maybe you can’t sit still and are fidgety all the time. It’s hard for you to do quiet things, like read a book. You talk a lot and sometimes act impulsively. Sometimes you’re impatient and interrupt others without meaning to. It’s possible you’ll have trouble regulating your emotions and sometimes lash out at others. All these challenges might be causing conflicts in your family. You might get addicted to dopamine-inducing activities easily, like substances, video games or gambling. It’s possible to feel down about yourself and have low self-esteem. You feel like you’re never going to reach your potential.
