I am struggling..
I have ADHD, and my struggle is that I find half way through things I give up easily, I have no will power, and its not so easy, in fact, its impossible for me to do things I want to. Sometimes I can sit and wait for inspiration, and it comes, but I cannot keep waiting for that all the time or nothing important gets done.
Now I am not a neurotypical, so please dont tell me I must just push through it to do it. My brain works differently. Rewards are of no importance otherwise I would have been finished by now. No, I thrive off pressure, and urgency and deadlines are my friend.
But I cannot self motivate. I am always dependent upon the environment around me and its immediate consequences for how long and how hard I work. And if there are no consequences I cannot work, or get what I want done. So when I need to do something, I wait until the last minute and fly round like the roadrunner. But I dont want to be like that any more. its exhausting.
So, with that in mind, I think I need a spiritual partner to hold me accountable.
And I love that The Christian Bible, has a lot to say about being accountable that I resonate with.
But how do I go about choosing someone?
has anyone done this? How did it go? did you succeed in attaining your goals?
thanks for listening.
