Because we truly deserve to realise our true power and capacity to change things. Notice: Although things as usually happen, it seems Ill have to delay release of this e book for 3 months, as right e-book now Im focusing on dealing with some important and urgent side-line issues. To make a long story short when I got diagnosed with ADHD at beginning of this year and was told I had to take a drug to be okay I immediately had a sharp reaction, something inside of me said Drugs dont solve the root problem they just cover the symptoms, and that led me on a four month drive to find a way to cure ADHD and ways to handle it, and boy sure I learnt. Firstly and foremost your nature cant be

changed, lets just face it, half of this disorder is caused by genetic factors, oh and why disorder is in double parenthesis? Well its a disorder for those who are slave away and bend to rules and norms which, you being different know that its not so. Amongst my research Ive found that ADHD has significantly positive sides to it, in fact it could be considered a gift from heaven if you know how to manage it well, the first step to managing it well is to start listening to your own souls calling rather than take the should or should nots that your environment puts on you. In the first release Ive listed ways and tools to utilise ADHD and feed the mind properly. Ive found that in essence when you feel good inside all your impulses will be to do good things, so thats a minus ten for the statement that you shouldnt do wild things, because if theyre good intentioned in nature then all you need to do is creatively navigate the barrier, obstacles and shit that rules, norms and procedures place on us, in fact if you feel time to time to break them go ahead, if your intention is good so will be your means. Of course thats just the first things Ive come to realise about ADHD, another important thing Ive found is the need of a goal of very powerful higher purpose goal to tie your uttermost attention to.

Scatter Focus Normal Focus Hyper Focus

The Normal Focus Type

The ADHD Focus Type

A higher purpose draws all links of attention to it

Hyper-focus occurs when something really captures your imagination and passion, it can be forced as well but thats how youll do things, you arent a lowly cog in the machine of society, youre a change agent in society, people frown on change as it pushes comfort zones out, but we all know that change is good. This makes you ideal for things occupations like Scientists, Inventors, Entrepreneurs, Composers, Musicians, Rock Stars, Leaders and Evangelists. In any case to keep this short, the e-book has been expanded into a much larger volume than I initially expected, and those 4 months of intensive research have taken their toll, Im currently enrolled in an Engineering Course, and of course Ive failed half the subjects, I managed to convince the dean to offer me a supplementary session since Ive over 2 credits over the maximum for resists and therefore Ill be placing most of my attention on recovering from the slump Ive taken, but at least now, I can use ADHD to my fullest advantage. The main problem with ADHD is simply the lower dopamine levels in your prefrontal cortex, this is associated with inattentiveness due to weaker consciousness however it also means access to the vast unconsciousness more easily, over-time Im starting to research more into the power of the unconscious mind but, first and foremost: So heres some information regarding the power of belief. The most important thing youll need to have if youre going to start to thrive with ADHD.

The Power of Belief: What makes a kid work half his life on time machine? Cause: Belief http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/naked-science/3486/00-Overview#tab-Videos/05768_00 What saved Milton H. Erickson from Polio bouts? Cause: Belief. In his own words: E: As I lay in bed that night, I overheard the three doctors tell my parents in the other room that their boy would be dead in the morning. I felt intense anger that anyone should tell a mother her boy would be dead by morning. My mother then came in with as serene a face as can be. I asked her to arrange the dresser, push it up against the side of the bed at an angle. She did not understand why, she thought I was delirious. My speech was difficult. But at that angle by virtue of the mirror on the dresser I could see through the doorway, through the west window of the other room. I was damned if I would die without seeing one more sunset. If I had any skill in drawing, I could still sketch that sunset. R: Your anger and wanting to see another sunset was a way you kept yourself alive through that critical day in spite of the doctors' predictions. But why do you call that an auto hypnotic experience? E: I saw that vast sunset covering the whole sky. But I know there was also a tree there outside the window, but I blocked it out. R: You blocked it out? It was that selective perception that enables you to say you were in an altered state? E: Yes, I did not do it consciously. I saw all the sunset, but I didn't see the fence and large boulder that were there. I blocked out everything except the sunset. After I saw the sunset, I lost consciousness for three days.

What is it with the Placebo effect that actually changes things? Cause: Belief. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo

Sylvester Stallone became a star despite the odds. Cause: Belief. An accident during birth severed a facial nerve, leaving parts of his lip, tongue and chin paralysed. The adult repercussions of the incident have come to signify Stallones recognisable slurred speech patterns and drooping lower lip. These defects during Stallones early life left him a sickly child who suffered from rickets and to add to the stress, his parents were constantly arguing and struggling to support him and his younger brother, Frank Stallone (who became a B-movie actor). Yet hes now a blockbuster film actor. The power to believe you can do it, is more important than any medication or supplements you take. In fact the most important thing NOW is to take charge of your beliefs, sure weve had a past full of problems, sure we have issues, sure theres no light at the end of the tunnel, but if you believe you can do it, youll do it. Take me for example: Ive nearly attempted suicide 5 years ago, had 2 severe depressions and then chronic mixed anxiety disorder, what changed me? Belief. It was Belief that allowed me transcend my limited thoughts and put empowering ones in place. This may be the most important exercise youll do: 1.) Make a list of your top fifteen beliefs on a paper, dont spend time thinking just write down what hits you right there. 2.) Get fifteen sheets of paper and number them 1 to 15 3.) On each sheet of paper then write down what you think is the evidence for this, what has occurred in the past to support this belief, make a list of 6 or so evidences or proofs of this belief leave a space between each one of them 4.) Once youve done that for all fifteen thats 15*6= 90proofs, your going to go at each one of them and do this: Challenge the negative proofs, ask yourself is this really true? Even if it is true, ask yourself, what has this belief made me do? Ask yourself, How much pain Ive experienced clinging to this belief? Ask yourself, How much more pain Ill feel if I continue clinging to this belief? Finally after youve been charged up do this: Reframe it, tell yourself that the experience is positive because, youve learnt something, you at least did something with your limited understanding. Then finally write down why either the proof is false or why it is positive in context of learning or protecting you against something 5.) After youve gone and challenged all the beliefs & their proofs, youre ready for a perception shift, take all the negative beliefs and replace them with empowering ones and find in your memory events that make sense to it. Visualize them intensely, make them vivid and very colourful and full of life. 6.) Finally write down the list of positive beliefs and read them every time you wake up from sleep.

Heres a short example if youre a bit lost for one belief Ive held: Im not focused to do anything! Proof1: Each time I sit down to do something I bounce off after 5 minutes Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: Not true sometimes Ive sat doing something for a whole day! Proof2: That Project on Microcontrollers didnt get finished because I didnt focus enough Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: Yes and its because I didnt allow myself to be creative enough Proof3: Ive injured my foot at work because, I was focused on what I was doing Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: I didnt make my job interesting enough, I didnt lock my intention on what I was doing, in fact when I locked my intention on what Im doing, I finish it faster than my peers in excellent quality. Proof4: It takes ages to do something, seriously studying, I end up rereading the same section because my mind is somewhere else Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: Yes and thats why I must see how this studying is going to make things a whole lot more interesting in the future, plus I didnt realise how interesting this knowledge was because I didnt see the applications of it. Proof5: Every sound pulls my attention elsewhere Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: Maybe, when Im walking and running its useful, when Im reading it actually makes me lock attention more to what Im reading, sounds pull my attention elsewhere because what Im doing doesnt engage me enough, therefore Ill play music whilst reading. Proof6: I am fat because I am not interested and cant focus on doing exercises Reframe, Falsify or derive Positive Meaning: I am fat because Ive held the belief that Im fat, if I hold the belief that Im muscular and toned Ill do the exercise. How much pain has this belief done to me in the past? It made me feel out of place, it made me feel bad, it destroyed my self-confidence that I couldnt garner enough pluck to talk to that girl and it made me feel like shit and a looser and it was the cause of getting depressed 2 times in the past. How much more pain will it cause if you keep clinging to this belief? It will most likely destroy any future positive experiences, it will continue making me feel like shit, I wont be able to focus and hold a job, i wont have a girlfriend, Ill most likely end up alone and isolated.

Why is this belief false ultimately? Ive found that there were instances in which, I can focus really good and hard, Ive learnt that when I tie my loose connections with music, when something doesnt engage me enough I can focus on it, Ive learnt that the more I emotionally charge the thing Im doing the more connections Ill draw to it and the more faster I get it done. What is your new Belief? I can focus really hard and intensely when I mean it. What supports your new belief? Proof1: When I played on games that stimulated me I engage on it for days Proof2: When I focus on something or feel excited to do it, I go do it fast and that takes a lot of focus. Proof3: Ive known that in reality I just need to tie up the loose connections to something else to focus Proof4: I can put up quite an effort when Im focused on the thing Proof5: When something is important all my thoughts switch to it Proof6: Focus start with intent and I can do really strong intentions sometimes Next what I do is visualize myself focusing really hard at something, I see myself from a first person perspective, seeing a typical work item and see myself really focused doing the thing as fast and qualitatively as possible. I do this visualization for about five times. RESULTS: Firstly doing boring things has become way more easier, secondly Ive learnt how to lock on my attention to hyper-focus, thirdly Im way more productive than usual and can fix myself to a schedule.

To summarise: Beliefs are what truly guide us. Beliefs are not necessarily true but the more vividly seen the more they push you towards something. Beliefs are what lock your attention. The technique for Belief change: 1.) Identify the belief 2.) Identify the proofs for that belief 3.) Challenge the proofs and change their meaning or content

4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.)

Find enough compelling reason and pain to change that belief Finally falsify the belief Set a new empowering belief opposite of the negative one Find proofs for this new belief in memory. Visualize yourself doing what your new belief tells you can do for five times as intensly as possible

Again Ill ask for feedback at: andrewandterry@hotmail.com

Also the website: www.adhdpower.com will soon be online in the coming weeks, hope it changes your life as Ive been changed completely.
