The symptoms of ADD can have a large effect in many people's lives. For someone to lead a normal fulfilling life, or for a child to make it successfully through their school career, they need to be able to deal effectively with their Attention Deficit Disorder. There are three important steps to follow in order to not let your condition to control your life.
You firstly need to ask yourself what causes your ADD symptoms to become worse and what makes them less of an interference? Look out for what triggers your ADD. Is it the food you are eating? A change in diet may help increase your ability to focus better. Could it be your lifestyle? Maybe you don't move around enough and need to start an exercise program. Have you explored the possibility of taking medication? Find what works best for you and take the necessary steps to overcome the hurdles created by your condition. Once you know the answers to these questions, plan ways to overcome the problems that you have.
Secondly, look out for excuses. Never let your condition become the reason for failure. In order for you to reduce the symptoms of ADD, you have to be honest with yourself. ADD is not an excuse for failure. Just follow the life of someone like Richard Branson, who has used what he was given to reach his full potential. Know what your limitations are but don't focus on them.
Lastly, look out for your strengths. By following and using your strengths, you avoid many of the symptoms of ADD that held you back before. This does not mean that you should steer clear from any weaknesses, but rather do the things that come more natural to you and the tasks that you enjoy. When you focus on areas of personal interest, you bring a powerful force to all that you do.
These steps are simple yet profound in the way that they can sum up all that you need to know in just three short paragraphs. The part that is not so simple is when it comes to applying them in your life. Take the first baby step in the right direction, choose one of the above and follow the guidelines to overcome the symptoms of a ADD. Once you feel that you have mastered a step, go onto the next one until all are done. When you begin to focus your efforts in this way you will begin to live a life without limits.
