If you have ADHD, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-criticism. From the constant pressure to “get it together” to the frustration of feeling misunderstood, it’s easy to become your own harshest critic. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Why Does This Happen?
ADHD brains are wired for hyperfocus and constant stimulation, which can make it easy to get deeply immersed in tasks that interest you. Yet, at the same time, it can feel impossible to get started on things — or to finish them once you’ve begun. This disconnect can create feelings of overwhelm, shame, and frustration.
When your brain is stuck between these two extremes — intense focus and resistance to task initiation or completion — it becomes difficult to show yourself compassion. This internal battle can lead to negative self-talk and emotional burnout, leaving you feeling like you’re never enough.
How Reiki and NLP Can Help You Align with Self-Compassion
Reiki is an incredible tool for balancing the bodymind. By clearing emotional blockages and restoring energetic flow, Reiki helps to release the deep-rooted patterns of self-doubt that often hold you back. But it’s not just about feeling relaxed — Reiki clears the energy around your negative beliefs, allowing you to begin shifting your thoughts and behaviors toward self-compassion.
When combined with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we can dive even deeper. NLP techniques help reframe the way you think and speak to yourself. By changing the language and beliefs around your ADHD, you can begin to reshape how you perceive yourself and your abilities, moving away from criticism and toward acceptance. NLP works in harmony with Reiki to help shift your energetic frequency, allowing you to embrace a mindset that supports your worth, rather than undermines it.
Take Action
If you’re struggling with self-compassion, remember: You are worthy of kindness and gentleness, especially from yourself. By healing on a deep energetic level with Reiki and shifting your mental patterns with NLP, you can begin to nurture your relationship with yourself.
