🧡 It's ADHD Awareness Month, and we're done with the stigma.
💜 ADHD: This wiring is not wrong-it was created by a natural path.
If you've ever felt like you were "born to run, not sit at your desk," there's a reason for that. And it has nothing to do with laziness, lack of discipline, or moral failing.
Here's the truth: For 288,000 years, humans were hunters and gatherers. We needed heightened senses, quick reactions, and the ability to hyperfocus when tracking prey. We thrived on movement, novelty, and high-stakes situations.
Then, just 12,000 years ago, we became farmers. And one hundred twenty years ago, industrialization dramatically changed how we live, and to quench the thirst for more factory workers, new laws were also demanded, making school mandatory.
Evolution takes thousands of years. As such, many of our brains remain hardwired for a world that no longer exists. Our brains are still hardwired for hunting and gathering. We crave movement, exploration, discovery, and creativity.
We procrastinate because our society is stagnant. We motivate through fear because that's what raises our dopamine levels.
Everything about ADHD is just as nature intended-but a sedentary world is not friendly to ADHD brains.
The good news? There ARE solutions. You are not alone. And you are NOT broken.
It's time to stop trying to "fix" ourselves and start understanding how many of our brains work. Restlessness and the need for movement are not defects. It's a mismatch. When we work to harness this wiring instead of against it, the potential is unlimited. ✨Many of our brains are not wired to sit at a desk all day. Most of us are still wired to chase, explore, and respond to the environment. There ARE solutions to harness this wiring.
This ADHD Awareness Month, let's spread a different message-one of understanding, not shame.
You're not alone. You're not broken. We are just living in the wrong era. 💚
