Music and ADD/ADHD |

For the longest time I had myself convinced I had an awful memory.
Don't retain huge words, forget the statistical things...yet as others here have shown... when we are interested in something...
Do you truly have a bad memory? Or is it that you've inserted a "belief" in your mind and now you believe it to be true?
Granted, I get the scattered thinking and the lack of focus but what if you were to challenge this? Hmmm? You're good at so many other things... why limit yourself with such a "story" that you tell yourselves?
Music.
Music is a great memory trigger. I can hear a song and remember a train of thought in an instant... how about you?
What do you think about linking up what you are doing with a song? A thought, emotion, learning experience etc., if you notice (this could just be me however I'm sharing it anyway...) you hear a song say from 1980.. and POOF! You remember where you were, what you were doing and the people who were there right?
So perhaps all of this is about you finding your "triggers" to promote you to remember etc., better vs. the continued untrue belief that you can't.
:) Just food for thought this morning...
Food can be another trigger. I'll bet if you think about ... say the last time you had filet minon, you'll remember where you were, who you ate it with and the taste...
