ADHD holistic treatment: my personal adult approach.Preface.Some clients ask if my approach is a kind of adhd holistic treatment. “Yes”, because I consider all factors in my view. I take into account all of my physical, mental, and social conditions. I must say “No” because I give no treatment in the medical way. I am not qualified for that and my ideas come from my very personal experience and point of view. Introduction.The aim is to incite you to think about an example in your own life. When you find such an example: let it flow in your mind. Alternatively –even better- share it with someone! So that you make a little start to enjoy your assets.Start.We start at high school. It is the year 1973, in the first class. I do not learn much of the content of the subjects. What I do learn is that fighting, using my hands and feet, is not the most effective way to communicate. However, I have to double.First focus.In that next –first- year I learn how to hyperfocus in the start of each lesson. The focus in this short time is enough to succeed that year and the years after in school.Overview.Looking back, I see that is my first application of focus. That is still of great value nowadays. When I start a new project, what I do very often, I dive into it. Go for the full swing. Everything I can learn, I absorb. I read, surf on Internet, go talk with people in the field. Then think about it on my own, and so on. Adolescence.It is 1982 I am 21 years old and get unemployed. My wife is pregnant, we posses a house and mortgage. The sense of responsibility is prominent. Apply for jobs does not work, I write more than 75 letters of application. I decide to start my own business.Natural research.However, I have no idea in what. Therefore, my focus goes to research in real-life: what to start? There is the beginning trend in recycling of leftovers, paper and clothes. That attracts me, so I take the action to make a business of this.Challenge.Nevertheless, there is one challenge: I have not one cent to invest. Only a bicycle and it is not really practical to collect leftovers, old paper and clothes with a bicycle. I am in a fix, do my further research and there appears a great idea!Business start.I make a leaflet for 1200 household in my near neighbourhood. The offer I make is that I give people the change to work on a better environment. If they offer their leaves, old paper and clothes, I collect these and use (sell) that for recycling. The leftovers go to a farmer who gives that as food for his cows. The old paper and clothes go to companies, which make new stuff of that.Proposal.I invite the people to loan me 10 guilders per household; this is the Dutch currency at that time.This amount can be reclaimed –without interest- after two years. Three years after the date this ‘contract’ expires and the money is for the collector. The return is that the people, who join in this, get a covered plastic basket to store their gathered leftovers.
Result.I collect 4.000 guilders! Around thirty percent of the household do participate! In two and a half year there are 2.500 households that participate in this.Hard working.The effort I make in this time is that I walk and drive trough the streets, day after day. I am exposed to wind and weather and develop a great physical condition. On an average day goes 4.000-kilo trough my hands. Isn't that an example of ADHD holistic treatment?Business end.This business stops after two and a half years. One person claims his ten guilders and of course he gets them back.This is a certified accountant. I hand over the money to him personal at his home, in possession of a cup of coffee.Alternative.It is time for me to set up a new project, in the same sector. Someone who lives in a place near mine wants to make the same business. I become his senior and consultant.Overview.The point of view is essential in this. I put the focus on what is good and getting better instead of the disappointments, setbacks and difficulties. After this great experience I dive in a lot of other projects and jobs. The lessons I learn and the knowledge I acquire make my life every day better and better. This is the best ADHD holistic treatment we can imagine! Qualities.Applied qualities are:• focus • high energy • dedication • creativity • persistence • purposeful effort Back from personal ADHD holistic treatment John's case study and ADHD Back Home
