Improving Impulse Control - ADHD



ADHD impulsivity-Jumping of the plane

Impulse control is tough with ADHD. Sometimes, we act before we think, leading to regrettable decisions. Learning to pause and reflect can greatly improve decision-making and impulse control.


Understanding Impulse Control Issues:

1. Acting on Impulse: ADHD often leads to acting before thinking things through.

2. Regrettable Decisions: Poor impulse control can lead to decisions we later regret.

3. Need for Reflection: Pausing to reflect before acting is crucial.


Strategies to Improve Impulse Control:

1. Pause and Reflect: Practice pausing before making decisions to think through the consequences.

2. Create a Buffer: Establish a buffer period between impulse and action, like counting to ten before responding.

3. Develop a Routine: Develop and stick to a routine to reduce impulsive behaviour and promote consistency.


Coaching Benefits:

Coaching can help you develop better impulse control and decision-making skills, leading to more thoughtful actions.
