RE: I used to channel surf through life... but I am trying to change that. Has anyone else made any major changes this year?

I thoroughly enjoyed this post. I can relate to both modes of being. I believe the ADHD is a gift but no one teaches us to ground it in the lessons which you learned yourself recently. We are more able to pick up on things but also more able to go haywire when there are too many stimuli if we haven't learned how to just chill the hell out and be in the moment.

I was constantly jumping back and forth between things without much hope of going anywhere with any of them until I kind of threw everything away and decided to just drifted around for a while. During that time, I had no expectations for the future so I learned to live in the moment. Now that I've come back to the world of.....whatever it is all these "regular people" are doing, I basically have control over my focus. It's kind of like I gained control of my superpowers.

You definitely win my follow with this post, hope to see many more like it.

That is awesome! I have always said that ADHD can be a huge benefit... if you choose the right job/tasks in life.
