Adult ADHD Tips – Navigating Uncertainty...

Michael Joseph Ferguson
About this episode
Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. Navigating Uncertainty as a Neurodivergent Person. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
Dealing with uncertainty can be immensely triggering -- inducing anxiety, challenges with focus, and ultimately distracting us from what actually needs to get done.
Uncertainty can manifest as disturbing world events, family health issues, financial fears, work setbacks... The list goes on and on.
And, our brain does not like uncertainty.
In this episode we'll explore practical techniques for navigating uncertainty -- getting ourselves out of the spin of tunnel vision, into greater emotional regulation, perhaps even finding real well-being in the face of external chaos.
We may not be able to change the external in the moment, but we can fortify our nervous system to be more calm, even in the midst of uncertain outcomes.
