I’m A Crazy Carona Based World - How Can We Step Into Our Power

Do you ever feel like the world’s spinning faster than normal? It can feel wild, especially for those of us with ADHD or dyslexia. In this episode of “Truth About Dyslexia,” I share a fresh perspective on how chaos might actually help us step into our power. It’s a chance to learn, grow, and show what we can really do.

We touch on the madness going on around us, then explore why people with dyslexia and ADHD have a unique advantage. We look at the mindset tricks that help us see beyond limiting beliefs, plus simple methods to keep us balanced when life feels overwhelming. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode has some gems you’ll want to hear.

Embracing the Chaos

Chaos can be scary. Our brains run a mile a minute, and that can make it tough to stay calm in uncertain times. But what if it’s not the enemy we think it is? What if it’s an ally in disguise?

I believe chaos invites us to notice patterns that others might miss. Our minds already have a knack for jumping between ideas at speed, so we’re wired for spotting unique links in a storm of confusion. When we embrace that trait instead of fighting it, we uncover fresh solutions that might surprise everyone, including ourselves.

“I never thought I’d see chaos as an ally, but it’s become a fantastic teacher, pushing me to try new things.”

Why ADHD and Dyslexia Shine Now

Sitting still and doing everything by the book doesn’t work for everyone. If you’ve tried to fit that mould, it can be exhausting. Yet in our fast-paced world, thinking differently is a superpower. And trust me, people notice. They say, “Hey, there’s something unique about the way you think.”

We often see the bigger picture, grasp the core of a topic, and sense the emotional undercurrent. Sounds like a lot, right? But these abilities become handy when life feels upside-down. We pivot faster, sense opportunities others miss, and connect dots that can spark bright ideas. It’s not that we’re better than anyone else. We just bring a different perspective that’s needed now, more than ever.

In short, when everyone’s stuck in a pattern, we draw new maps. We’re the explorers, discovering fresh ways to handle problems that never existed before. That might feel daunting, but it also means we hold the keys to some spectacular breakthroughs.

Building Confidence in Your Strengths

Knowing you have hidden strengths is step one. Owning them is step two. It’s not always easy. Our confidence can take a hit if we feel misunderstood or judged. Still, building that belief in ourselves is worth the effort. These ideas can help:

• Pinpoint Your Abilities: Notice the tasks that feel oddly natural. Write them down, and keep them visible.
• Challenge Your Mindset: Catch yourself when you think, “I’m just not good enough.” Flip it to, “I’m learning as I go.”
• Seek Encouragement: Share your ideas with trusted friends or mentors. Their feedback might spark new insights.

We also want to create small wins. That can transform self-doubt into quiet confidence. Pick a small task and crush it with the focus you know you have. Write a short blog post, create a new recipe, or organise your digital workspace. Notice how your energy shifts. You’ll see you’re more capable than you thought.

Simple Strategies You Can Use

Even when we’re on board with the idea of stepping into our power, daily life can get in the way. So we need practical strategies that help harness our strengths.

Try some of these tips:

1. Play With Structure: Use a basic to-do list, or break tasks into chunks if you hate rigid routines. Find what feels right for your brain.
2. Experiment With Brain Breaks: A quick fire-break of fresh air or a stretch can reset your mind. Set a timer if you need a reminder.
3. Use Audiobooks or Apps: If focusing on text is hard, audio-based resources can help you learn on-the-go.
4. Focus on Strength-Building: Pick the area you’re already good at and pour in a bit more effort. Small improvements add up fast.

Our brains love variety. For some of us, that means group projects. For others, it’s solitary creative sprints. If you’re not sure what works, test a few methods until you find a rhythm that fits. There’s no single formula, so it’s okay to drop what doesn’t work and try something else. Remember, we’re allowed to be flexible.

Taking the Next Step

Pushing ourselves is a journey, not an overnight leap. Whether you’re right at the start or have been on it for years, there’s always more to explore. I encourage you to set a tiny goal today. Perhaps it’s decluttering your kitchen or emailing that person you’ve been putting off.

Notice how each step adds to your sense of control. Our minds are busy, true, but we can direct that energy in ways that benefit us and the world around us.

When you doubt yourself or feel overwhelmed, remember these guiding ideas:

• You can see solutions others don’t.
• Your mind craves exploration and fresh experiences.
• Small acts of organisation can bring huge peace of mind.
• Curiosity is your hidden engine. Use it.

We don’t have to wait for the chaos to settle. We can stand in it, find our balance, and discover unexpected strengths. It’s not always easy, but I’ve found it’s worth every awkward step. A sense of self-belief grows with each challenge you tackle. You realise you’re built to adapt. That’s the gift of ADHD and dyslexia.

• Chaos can help us see new opportunities.
• ADHD and dyslexia are strengths in a fast-changing world.
• Confidence grows through small wins and practical steps.
• You can test different methods to discover what works best for you.
