A Regulated 2026 

If you're ready to dive into the ADHD Regulation Method, you can also learn more about ADHD Groups here. 

HERE ARE THE MAIN REGULATED GOAL SETTING POINTS:

1. How you see yourself will affect how you work towards goals: 

If you see yourself as an impatient, frantic person and that's "just the way you are" it is very difficult to move towards anything different.

If you see yourself as someone who values physical activity and taking care of your body, that will be easier to take these actions.

2. All or Nothing Thinking:

Do you set so many goals that they are overwhelming and you do none of them?

Get the list down to a smaller amount that feels more doable.

3. Think of your intensity:

Do you go hard for your goals in January and stop by Feb? What intensity do you need to work on your goals at to last all year? It's a saying for a reason -- slow and steady wins the race.

4. Want to do a vision board? 

Think of the feelings you want from these goals and this year. For me, I shared in the workshop, my examples of "being in the world more", connecting more with people as well as not scrolling/ consuming social media content. 

So my vision board would give those feelings of connection, community, and the things I want to spend my time doing instead of scrolling. 

HERE IS MY EXAMPLE (I used Pinterest and went to "Create" and "Collage" on the left side of the screen):

This board is about the feeling I am going for by being with people and not being on my phone. It is not a list of all the things I don't have and the ways I need to be better, it creates a feeling of what I want. 

This reminds me to keep these feelings in mind in my daily life.

I will be making this the background on my phone and laptop to have that feeling top of mind (I know our brains will stop noticing this after a while but it's a start).

Do let me know if you have any questions at all about goal setting in a regulated way!
