Podcasts about overcoming distractions

Welcome to another episode of Overcoming Distractions! In this episode, Dave sits down with Christopher Richards, a leadership consultant and founder of Atomic Growth. They dig into the unique challenges and surprising strengths of busy professionals with ADHD, exploring how to navigate demanding careers and personal lives. Christopher shares insights from his own journey with ADHD, the philosophy behind Atomic Growth, and practical advice for ADHD'ers with demanding careers and business owners looking to find success and fulfillment without relying on unsustainable pressure. Key discussion points: Atomic Growth's Philosophy: Christopher talks about his holistic approach, called "RISE" (Rituals, Identity, Somatics, Environment), which emphasizes making a meaningful difference beyond just financial gain. The Problem with Pressure: Both David and Christopher highlight how many business owners and professionals rely on immense pressure to achieve goals, often leading to burnout and a lack of real accomplishment despite long hours. They emphasize that effective work doesn't have to be stressful. ADHD and Work Styles: Christopher, who was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD later in life, discusses his unique ability to focus better when engaged in multiple tasks simultaneously, contrasting with David's preference for single-task, undisturbed focus. This highlights the diverse ways ADHD brains can operate and the importance of understanding one's own optimal working environment. The Value of an ADHD Diagnosis: For Christopher, his diagnosis wasn't about a label but about gaining a clearer understanding of how his brain functions to leverage its strengths effectively. Overcoming Self-Imposed Limitations (Demand Avoidance): The discussion touches on "demand avoidance," where individuals with ADHD, even when self-imposing demands, can find their brains resisting. This underscores the need for self-awareness and strategies that align with how an ADHD brain naturally operates. Identifying and Leveraging Strengths: Instead of solely focusing on challenges, David and Christopher emphasize the importance of identifying and utilizing strengths.

In this episode of "Overcoming Distractions," Dave welcomes Rand Selig, author of "Thriving: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life." Rand shares his insights on what it truly means to thrive, especially for busy professionals and those with ADHD. He emphasizes that thriving is more than just getting by, it's about fulfillment, purpose, and living a life that matters. This discussion offers valuable perspectives on personal growth, community involvement, and the science behind a flourishing life, applicable whether you have ADHD or simply seek to enhance your well-being. Discussion Points: Defining Thriving: Rand introduces his high bar for thriving, which transcends merely "getting by" and focuses on a profound sense of fulfillment, purpose, and overall well-being. The Four Dimensions of Thriving: Thriving Personally: The foundation of all other dimensions, focusing on character building, gratitude, purpose, managing emotions, and understanding one's spirituality. The importance of the relationship with oneself. Thriving with Others: Building meaningful relationships and fostering a sense of community. Thriving Out in the World: Engaging in service to others, conservation, and volunteering, highlighting how helping others can shift one's perspective and lead to happiness. Thriving by Moving Ever Forward: The continuous process of evolution and becoming a better version of oneself, rather than comparing oneself to others. The Science of Thriving: Rand touches upon scientific frameworks that support his ideas, including: Self-Care and Recharge: The critical need for individuals, especially those with demanding careers and ADHD, to recognize signs of fatigue and burnout, and to implement self-care practices. Being Present: The significance of being fully present in interactions and in moments of reflection, as a source of joy and clarity, and how this contrasts with the ADHD brain's tendency to wander. Intentional Decisions and Habits: The power of making conscious choices about how we spend our time, who we spend it with, and the habits we cultivate. The importance of fostering positive habits and self-awareness in guiding one's "bus" (life's direction).

Join me on a journey through the challenges of entrepreneurship, particularly the struggle of managing numerous ideas and the importance of focusing on implementation. I'll outline five key steps to help entrepreneurs transition from idea overload to actionable execution, emphasizing the importance of clarity, accountability, and support throughout the process. Takeaways Entrepreneurs often face overwhelming amounts of ideas and information. Focusing on one idea at a time is crucial for success. Implementation is more important than just having ideas. A structured approach can help in breaking down goals into manageable tasks. Accountability and support from others can enhance progress and motivation. Distractions and time-wasters must be identified and minimized. Regular reflection and adjustment of focus are necessary for growth. Creating a 'Focus Fast' can help eliminate distractions. Collaboration and mentorship can provide valuable guidance. Obedience to one's calling is essential for fulfilling potential. 00:00 The Journey of Entrepreneurship 06:08 From Ideas to Implementation 14:31 Overcoming Distractions and Building Focus 18:35 Stewarding Your Vision with Excellence I'd love to walk with you inside our upcoming Podcast Subscription Membership or the Resist and Roar Collective—a coaching and community space where I help you launch your podcast, or take your existing podcast or platform to the next level.

Bro. Jerry Whitlow preached a message entitled “Overcoming Distractions in Difficult Days” during the Sunday Evening service on May 11, 2025, at North Valley Baptist Church in Santa Clara, California. View Archived Services at nvbc.org

In our fast-paced world, we're constantly bombarded with distractions that can derail us from our true purpose. This message challenges us to focus on 'one thing' - a singular commitment to following Christ. Drawing from Paul's words in Philippians 3:13, we're reminded that forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead is crucial for our spiritual growth. The story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:40-42 further illustrates this point, showing us that while service is important, sitting at Jesus' feet and prioritizing our relationship with Him is the 'good part' that cannot be taken away. As we navigate life's many choices, we're encouraged to set boundaries, declutter our lives, and resist the fear of missing out (FOMO). By doing so, we can live with intention, focusing on what truly matters in God's eyes.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store

Many adults with ADHD struggle with perfectionism. And that's the topic of this week's podcast. How do we thrive as adults with ADHD without letting perfectionism get in our way? Let's discuss the dilemma of perfectionism and adult ADHD. Dr. Tara Cousineau is the guest on this episode of Overcoming Distractions and author of the book The Perfectionist's Dilemma.  She is also the author of the “Kindness Cure” and has joined us on the podcast several times. Trained at Harvard Medical School, she's a part-time staff psychologist at Harvard University's Counseling and Mental Health Service. Dr. Cousineau describes herself as a recovering perfectionist, and because of that, she discusses why she decided to write The Perfectionist's Dilemma. Dr. Cousineau gives us a basic definition of what she feels perfectionism is. Dave and Dr. Cousineau discuss how we can find more balance, peace and joy by tackling perfectionism. And how we can cultivate a better relationship with ourselves. Dr. Cousineau also discusses the following with Dave. Where is perfectionism rooted? Is it a fear of judgment, etc…? People pleasing? Are we born as perfectionists, or is this learned behavior? Perfectionism is more than just work. We also see this in social interactions and in other areas of our life. Can perfectionism cause anxiety and stress? Can it even lead to burnout? Dr. Cousineau walks listeners through a beginning strategy to help minimize the challenges of perfectionism.

On this episode of Overcoming Distractions, we are talking about burnout and what it can do to our body. When people are truly burned out, in most cases that causes trauma within the body. And that trauma can come in all types of forms. And when burnout is not addressed, it can take a person years in some cases to recover. Burnout is also becoming far more complex. For example, not all burnout is rooted in the workplace. You may have caregiving responsibilities which are adding to your chronic stress. So let's get into what burnout does to you as a human. The guest on this episode is Clinical Psychologist Dr. Claire Plumbly …author of….THE TRAUMA OF BURNOUT: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You. First, Dr. Plumbly talks with Dave to clarify the differences between stress and burnout. The term burnout seems to be thrown around a little too loosely lately. Burnout is chronic stress unaddressed. Chronic stress leads to burnout. Dr. Plumbly talks about what chronic stress is doing to our bodies and our nervous system. Dr. Plumbly also discusses with Dave the various modes of burnout including the red mode and the green mode. Why most of us shut down when we are burned out and how to soothe the nervous system into green mode as she explains. She also explains the polyvagal theory of the nervous system. Understanding this can help us recover from burnout more effectively. Learn more about Dr. Clair Plumbly here as well as finding her book: https://www.drclaireplumbly.com/

We are talking about mindsets in this episode of Overcoming Distractions. Some mindsets are useful, and some are not serving you well anymore. One mindset that might ring a bell to you is that “I work better on deadline.” And we know most of us have ADHD in this community can say this…. However that's a mindset that may not be totally true for most of us. Dave sits down with Dr. Charryse Johnson, LCMHC, NCC a veteran psychotherapist and mindfulness practitioner whose work focuses on the intersection of trauma, somatic integration, spirituality, and social justice. She is the founder of Jade Integrative Counseling and Wellness, an integrative therapy practice where personal values, the search for meaning, and the power of choice are the central focus.  Her new book is called- Expired Mindsets: Releasing Patterns That No Longer Serve You Well  Dr. Johnson explains that an expired mindset is something that may have been useful to you at one time but presently does not serve you. Maybe we continue to tell ourselves something that just doesn't help us move forward any longer. She also discusses with Dave how a proper mindset allows us to thrive and be fulfilled in life and in our work. And how throughout our life we may be telling ourselves certain things that may not be true to us. Dr. Johnson also explains the concept of shift versus change when it comes to moving away from expired mindsets. Dave and Dr. Johnson discuss why self-awareness is so crucial for adults with ADHD and why this is important for us to understand ourselves and how we can thrive using proper mindsets. Dr. Johnson talks about her role as a psychotherapist and what's involved when she's trying to key in on somebody's mindsets and how that helps them move forward. She also discusses why it is important to release certain patterns and how to begin that process. And Dave and Dr. Johnson wrapped up by discussing how we can make progress fun moving forward from expired mindsets and negative self-talk.

Welcome to the second of a multi-part series where I cover brief and not-so-brief highlights from many of my favorite podcast guests! Learn about Gretchen Rubin’s 4 Tendencies (Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel), hear a major life lesson from my 107-year-old barber, and another one from Seth Godin, who reminds us to “turn that s*it off!” when faced with distraction. You’ll hear from Ray Sidney, Google’s fifth-ever employee, on the importance of pure motivation, why Mark Manson says “self-worth is an illusion”, and that our purpose in life is to “create a string of hope narratives.” I share key advice from John Assaraf on how to rewire your brain for success, as well as important words from Dr. Ron Sinha, who warns us of the dangers of rumination and consumerism—the “hedonic treadmill.” You will also hear from Dr. Robert Lustig, who describes the “hacking of the American Mind” with corporate-driven instant gratification dopamine hits, Dr. Judson Brandeis on sexual health, and learn how to improve your eyesight with Jake Steiner. Finally, William Shewfelt offers a powerful perspective on having a resilient success mindset and Jeff Kahn explains the sleep bank account. TIMESTAMPS: In her book, Gretchen Rubin categorizes four main categories that people fall into with their behavior patterns. They are the upholder, the questioner, the obliger, and the rebel. [00:49] Here's what the research shows. The population, 41% of the population are obligers. 24% are questioners, 19% are upholders, and 17% are rebels. [12:55] The world’s oldest barber, at 107, gave Brad a haircut and inspired Brad’s longevity aspirations. [13:40] Seth Godin talked about persevering especially in athletics. [17:24] You must motivate yourself for the right reasons. [19:50] Mark Manson says that self-worth is an illusion, and it's actually a form of persistent low-level narcissism. You can learn to merge your thinking brain with your feeling brain. [23:11] The brain-training expert, John Assaraf, talked about the obstacles to rewiring our brain. You need to take baby steps. [30:31] If you are on the treadmill of the rat race of trying to achieve more and more, you are sacrificing your health and mental well-being. [33:57] When you ruminate about the past, that generally promotes depression and ruminating about the future, generally promotes anxiety. [37:08] Dr. Brandeis contends that 95% of erectile dysfunction problems are psychological. There is nothing wrong with the plumbing. [40:51] Jake Steiner is an expert on vision is challenging some of the foundational premises of using corrective eyewear. [42:47] William Shewfelt talks about having a plan, locking in that mindset and just never giving up. [44:26] Jeff Kahn, sleep expert suggests that you treat your sleep like a bank account. When you experience a deficit for whatever reason, strive to make that up. [48:48] In the last 40 years, government legislation and subsidies have promoted an ever- available temptation combined with constant stress, with the end result of an unprecedented epidemic of addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease.

There is never a one-size-fits-all when it comes to creating an environment where those of us with ADHD can thrive. Our environments range from workplaces to homes, and for many of us, they are places to have a little peace and quiet. For many, having an optimal environment, or even a place where we can reflect, is mission-critical for those of us with ADHD. In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, we're going to talk about how art can be part of your journey in thriving with adult ADHD. Buy Dave a cup of coffee and support the show here! https://buymeacoffee.com/overcomingd  Dave speaks with Eleanor Trier, the founder of Eleanor Trier Studios where she mostly works with art but many other types of creative endeavors all to help those of us who are neurodivergent. Eli gives us an overview of her art studio and the types of projects she works on, but she also discusses when she discovered that art was her passion and how she knew it. She discusses why for many of us with ADHD, creating the right environment to create focus is something many of us strive for and need and that can include surrounding yourself with art. Eli says that art can help us be mindful and tame that chaotic brain and she talks about how this can happen and why art is a major driver of feeling calm. Is there a science of how art can boost focus and create calm? Eli answers this as well.

In today's episode, I'm addressing the infighting within the Conservative Movement and why it's the last thing we need to focus on now that we've gained control of the Presidency, House, and Senate. While we have achieved significant political power, we cannot possibly afford to be distracted by these interpersonal petty wars. There are real, pressing issues at hand—issues that demand our attention. So, let's put aside the itty bitty baby battles and focus on what truly matters so we can accomplish greatness and usher in our New American Golden Age.--https://policecoffee.com/--Order Culture: The Dangers of Herd Mentality: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! Last week I asked my business coach why he thought some business owners and entrepreneurs succeed while others don't, and his simple answer was focus and execution. As I thought more about it I realized how much that has affected not just my life and business, but also how I have seen a similar trend through the years with our coaching programs as well. The truth is that it can be so easy for us to get distracted and lose focus, but how do we go about overcoming those distractions so we can build a successful canine rehab business? Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Why we need to be careful about "shiny object syndrome" Why we need to be careful taking advice from someone who has never built or accomplished what we want to accomplish The trap behind "passive income" and how to approach that How a lack of a game plan leads towards us minoring on small things (and what to do about it) The importance of making the main thing the main thing Join our Canine Rehabpreneur Community: www.facebook.com/groups/k9rehabpreneur/ Download our fee calculator and training: https://thek9pt.mykajabi.com/Fee-calculator Download our 'marketing done easy' worksheet and training: https://www.k9ptacademy.com/marketing-done-easy ...

Here at Overcoming Distractions we like to say we work on the "mechanics" of being a busy professional with ADHD. However there is an understanding that there are other treatments and considerations as an adult with ADHD. Today in this episode we are talking about neurofeedback and how that helps adults with ADHD thrive. Sean Brock is the owner of Neuro Colorado, a practice that helps a wide range of individuals focusing on mental health challenges. That includes ADHD. Sean tells us a little bit about Neuro Colorado and how he supports those with ADHD of all ages including adults. He discusses what neurofeedback is including the benefits and what he hopes to achieve through neurofeedback treatments. Neuro Colorado also works with veterans with ADHD and sometimes PTSD and he discusses his work in this area. Sean also discusses what treatment looks like that may coincide with neurofeedback. If you're interested in neuro feedback, Sean gives us some tips on how to identify the right practitioner for you. Coaching and mentorship are very valuable for busy adults with ADHD but there are also other avenues that many people with ADHD should consider to get a deeper understanding.

In this insightful episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks dive deep into the concept of silence and how it plays a crucial role in strengthening your relationship with God. For many of us, silence is often misunderstood as just the absence of external noise, but it goes far deeper than that. As Father Boniface explains, silence is not just about the absence of sound, but about achieving interior peace. It's about quieting the mind and soul amidst the distractions and chaos of everyday life.Joe opens up about his personal struggles with finding silence, saying, “There's always something going on, whether it be inside my mind trying to think of a solution, or listening to a book or podcast, or falling asleep with the TV on. Yet in prayer, that's not the case, and it feels weird sometimes.” Father Boniface thoughtfully responds by breaking down what silence truly means, highlighting that it's more about calming our inner restlessness rather than simply eliminating noise.
