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.
