Not Enough

Have you ever heard yourself or others remark, “There’s not enough time”? If you have, you’re certainly in good company. It’s not uncommon for ADHD adults to experience a shortage of both time and money in their lives. While it is true that most ADHD adults struggle with management of time and money, it’s also true that “management” may only be a partial intervention.

 

I was listening to a great tele-seminar recently by Shell Tain, Money Coach. Shell stressed the importance of the language that we express (both to ourselves and to others). This thinking also enters the realm of the “Law of Attraction”. If you’re not familiar with this concept then I suggest you explore this very powerful Law of Attraction.

 

Very simply, the Law of Attraction says that there is an abundance of everything. You need only ask for what you want. Now here’s the interesting part. Your language is crucial to what you receive. If your language is “I don’t have ENOUGH” … then that’s just what you get. You’ll receive “enough”, “just enough”, “not enough”, and so on…

 

Shell suggests that we all become very conscious of our language and substitute the word ENOUGH with the word PLENTY. It’s that simple and yet it like take practice to change what I refer to as our ‘default’ language. Give it a try and see what happens.

 

The other day I was running behind to an appointment. (yes, the Coach was running behind schedule). Anyway, as I was rushing to my appointment I found myself thinking, “I’m running behind schedule. I don’t have enough time and I’m NOT likely to arrive on time”. BUT just as I uttered those words I heard my language. I immediately replaced my statement with something more affirming, “I’ve got plenty of time and I’ll arrive with plenty of time before my appointment”. As it turned out, I arrived five minutes before the appointment.

 

This is not to say that practicing proper management of our time and money is not important. However, you may also want to consider the “Law of Attraction”; consider your choice of language and it’s relationship to the results you’re currently attracting into your life.
