A Revisit: Change Your Vocabulary, Change Your Mindset

We're on summer break, so this week is a Revisit: a favorite conversation pulled back out of the archive. In this one, Pete and Nikki dig into the words we use and how much they shape the way we see ourselves.Working from Alicia Dunams' book I Get To, Nikki walks through a few simple language shifts that hit differently when you have ADHD, from "I have to" versus "I get to" to catching the negative "what ifs." They also get into the power of the pause and staying curious instead of judgmental. It's an encouraging, practical listen, whether it's your first time or a return trip.Links & NotesI Get To: How using the Right Words Can Radically Transform Your life, Relationships & Business by Alicia DunamsThe Resilience Factor: 7 Keys to Finding Your Inner Strength and Overcoming Life's Hurdles by Karen Reivich“Six Surprising Benefits of Curiosity” by Emily Campbell (00:00) - Welcome to The ADHD Podcast (04:14) - Change Your Language: "I Get To: How Using the Right Words can Radically Transform Your Life" (10:50) - How Rewards Impact Language (12:39) - A Brief Aside on The QUIT Center...
