How to Stay Consistent
In this thought-provoking episode of "The NeuroTribe," Theresa challenges the conventional wisdom of striving for consistency, especially for those with neurodivergent conditions like ADHD. She encourages her listeners to let go of the stress and pressure associated with trying to fit into a neurotypical mold and instead embrace their natural tendencies towards inconsistency.
Theresa Minnoch acknowledges that for many neurodivergent individuals, staying consistent may not be a realistic or sustainable goal. Rather than struggling against their inherent nature, she suggests accepting and unmasking this aspect of themselves as part of their journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment.
Instead of advocating for consistency in traditional areas like social media posting schedules or productivity routines, Theresa emphasizes the importance of being consistent with self-care practices and tuning into one's bodily and emotional needs. She stresses the value of tracking patterns in creativity, energy levels, and overall well-being, and honoring those fluctuations without judgment.
By letting go of the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards of consistency, neurodivergent individuals can cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust and connection with their authentic selves. Theresa encourages her listeners to embrace their unique strengths and ways of being, rather than trying to force themselves into a mold that may not align with their neurodivergent experiences.
Overall, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the concept of consistency, challenging traditional narratives and inviting neurodivergent individuals to prioritize self-acceptance and self-care over external expectations.
