Ortando here. This post is to announce that all readers are now eligible to contribute to Ortando's Thoughts blog and Nicholas and I look forward to hearing from you about AD/HD/LD stratigies, concepts and insights.
Since our last post, I have been preparing to initiate "Ortando Tribal Counsel" model starting here in Oregon. The Counsel will be local to the area in which it is started and will include AD/HD/LD adults meeting to discuss AD/HD/LD ideas with a goal of having the members then go and teach others "how to be" in the Ortando & Son way (Ortando's Way).
Just a side comment that I would like for the readers to consider visiting Ortando.com, as well as Tony Robbins.com. Tony Robbins new NBC television series Breakthrough will air in January 2010 I believe and is well worth the time to view. In a previous note, I mentioned that as a Tony Robbins "family member" I had the privalege of attending the filming of the finales of the first 4 episodes of the show. It was awesome! So look for it on your NBC channel in January.
Ortando thought of the day: If you are a tribe member, (someone who experiences AD/HD/LD), and you find that there is a part of you that "doesn't like yourself", firstly acknowledge and thank that part of you for doing that as a part that (however painfully) is trying to help you. Ask that part "what are you doing in not liking me that is trying to help me?", and listen to what comes up. Perhaps it is to keep you safe, stop you from growth because you might get hurt of dissapointed. Whatever it is, acknowledge and thank that part of you and then ask it if it knows that in its efforts to help you that it is actually not making your life better globally, and see what comes up. Often that part will say: "Yea I know I'm holding (__you) back, and I'm not gonna stop because (__you) (fill in the blank...might get hurt, be dissapointed...etc.) Tell that part that it is "too strong" and to trust you and that all of you is ready to go forward and ask it if it would be willing to modify its behavior, partially allow you to grow, move forward... if... you promise to honor its intentions to keep you safe and ok. Then see what it says. Often your part will say "yes". Repeat this proceedure if you find yourself with "parts" that are not aligned will you goals in life.
Next time we'll talk about GOALS for AD/HD/LD people, your hopes and dreams and how to increase the likelihood that you will attain them. By the way, I don't know you personally, but as far as your AD/HD/LD aspects of your brain... you are alright just the way you are, right here and right now. This is an emotional key to be open to learning how to be from fellow Tribe members. Take care Ortando.
