Guest Author - My Love Affair With Money
By: Diane Ladd (Reprinted with permission from ADD to LIFE)
We all struggle with budgeting and spending too much but is seems that those of us with ADD have more difficulty than most. The ADD symptoms of impulsivity, trouble with planning, lack of inhibition, disorganization, forgetfulness, and the tendancy toward addictions (like shopping too much) make budgeting painful.
Working with an ADHD Coach can help you put your money issues into perspective. By developing a partnership with an ADHD Coach you can develop structures that work for you and work through the process of managing your money.
A few years ago I was given an assignment by my coach. She challenged me to write a story about my relationship with money. She suggested that I tell the story about money as my lover.
From time to time I have gone back to this assignment. As my feelings, beliefs and attitudes have changed the story has evolved.
I've included my assignment here for you to read and I challenge you to write about your own love affair money.
