10 ways to start taking control 

Who's the Chief? Time management, goal setting, and record tracking are 10 ways to start taking control. At first glance, it would appear that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are unrelated. However, because we frequently experience feelings of being overwhelmed and become frustrated by our challenges, many of us with ADD develop negative thought patterns. The difficulties we face in overcoming them and moving forward are made even more difficult by this pessimistic outlook.

People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD) can feel happier and more motivated by practicing positive thinking. As a result, we are able to spend less time feeling defeated and stuck and more time moving forward. You can use the practical advice in the following suggestions to shift into more upbeat thinking:

1. Take Great Consideration of Yourself

It's a lot simpler to be positive when you are eating great, working out, and getting sufficient rest.

2. Remind Yourself of the Good Things in Life When you constantly remind yourself of the good things in life, stress and difficulties don't seem quite as bad. It will make a big difference to take just 60 seconds every day to stop and appreciate the good things in life.

3. Instead of making assumptions, look for evidence. Sometimes, our fear of not being liked or accepted leads us to believe that we know what other people think, but our fears typically are not true. If you are worried that something you did made a friend or family member unhappy or that your coworkers are secretly talking about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask. Unless you have evidence that there is cause for concern, don't waste time worrying that you did something wrong.

4. Avoid Absolutes Have you ever said to a partner, "You're ALWAYS late!" or told a friend, "You NEVER call me!" When you speak and think in absolutes like "always" and "never," you make the situation seem worse and train your brain to believe that some people can't deliver.

5. Separate From Negative Contemplations

Your considerations can't hold any control over you on the off chance that you don't pass judgment on them. Detach, observe, and refrain from following a negative thought if you notice it in yourself.

6. Squash the "ANTs" Dr. Daniel Amen discusses "ANTs," or automatic negative thoughts, in his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life." "Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me," or "The boss wants to see me?," are examples of reactionary negative thoughts. It must be awful! At the point when you notice these considerations, understand that they are just Subterranean insects and squash them!

7. You don't have to be an expert to understand the advantages of a good hug. Practice loving, touching, and squeezing your friends and family. Positive physical contact with friends, family, and even pets instantly boosts mood. In one study on this topic, a waitress touched some of her customers on the arm while she gave them their checks. These customers gave her more tips than the ones she didn't touch!

8. Increase Your Social Activity You will feel less lonely if you engage in more social activities. If you surround yourself with happy, healthy people, their positive energy will have a positive impact on you!

9. Helping someone else or volunteering for an organization makes everyone feel good. You can donate your time, money, or resources by volunteering. You will receive more positive energy the more you put out into the world.

10. Combat Rumination with Pattern Interrupts If you find yourself ruminating, interrupting the pattern and forcing yourself to do something completely different is a great way to stop it. Rumination is like hyper-center around something negative. It's rarely useful, in light of the fact that it's not levelheaded or arrangement situated, it's simply unnecessary concern. Try sitting outside or going for a walk to change your physical environment. You could also pick up a book, call a friend, or listen to music.

With regards to the corporate world, convention is basically the religion. The fundamentals of productivity include knowing what needs to be done, but true productivity requires interaction and a calm mind. There are the individuals who appear to function admirably considerably under tension, however they're exceptional ones and we are human and flawed. Our issues will not be resolved by instilling these insignificant things like stress in us. When we admit that we are becoming workaholics, it sometimes takes more courage than telling ourselves that we are not doing our best.
