Important Resources for Those With Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
by Kevin Gianni (see all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) This interview is an excerpt from Kevin Gianni's
Fountain of Youth Summit, which can be found at (http://
fountainofyouthworldsummit.com) . In this excerpt, Tellman Knudson
shares resources, exercise and nutrition information for those with
ADD.
The Fountain of Youth World Summit with Tellman Knudson, an NOP expert
hypnotist with a personal and professional interest in ADD and the
founder of Instant ADD Success.
Kevin: I believe in modeling successful people so I wanted to talk to
you just briefly about some of the things, you know, particularly
information that you started so someone can walk away and say "hey
that's a great resource I might be able to go to" so I want to ask you
right now what are one or two or three books or resources that you
have used to really help you get to the level where you are?
Tellman: As far as resources, let's see, as far as things that are
easy to implement, there are a couple that I can recommend. One thing
that I have to say honestly is that most of the self improvement stuff
that I've run into isn't optimized for the ADD brain, OK?
Kevin: OK.
Tellman: Most of it is optimized for a linear thinking brain, right.
Step by step systems.
Kevin: Interesting.
Tellman: OK. People with ADD think they want step by step systems all
the time and then get maybe the first step into it and then get
distracted, right. So how can we overcome this? Well there are a few
ways... we'll share that with you in just a moment. But before we do,
the first concept that I just want to get everybody clear on is just
soak up as much information as fast as you can then move on to the
next thing because you are going to do that anyway, so make sure you
do it on purpose.
Kevin: OK.
Tellman: Alright, I read a book that was incredibly, incredibly,
incredibly influential earlier on in my NLP (Neural Linguistic
Programming) career. And I stand by it because of its implement
ability. It was written by a guy that we all know and love named Tony
Robbins.
Kevin: Sure.
Tellman: And he wrote a book called Unlimited Power, OK? The
techniques and tactics in Unlimited Power are extraordinarily easy to
implement and extraordinarily effective, OK? Very, very, very powerful
as far as NLP techniques and tactics are concerned. Number two is
where I got lots of my binary bit training originally from which is a
company called The Manola Institute. The Manola Institute, the way I
like to look at it, uh, it's definitely more on the new age side of
things but at the end of the day the binary bits and sound-wave
technology taught me how to literally shift gears in my brain like you
do in a standard car.
Kevin: OK.
Tellman: Shifting a little bit more engine –- oomph -- when you need
it to climb those hills.
Kevin: And explain just the binary bits very, very briefly.
Tellman: Well, they are actually very, very powerful and I use them a
lot in my work and in my programs that I created. At the end of the
day, think about binary bits like training wheels for your brain, OK?
They teach you how to stay vertical on a bike while you are riding it
along and once you are vertical then it's like a sixteen speed, right,
verses your BMX one speeder. Right.
Kevin: Got you.
Tellman: Basically again, we can take way too long and get into a long
conversation about how they actually work, but they literally teach
you how to speed up and slow down your brain wave activity at will.
Kind of like a neural feedback except a lot cheaper and a lot easier
to use.
Kevin: Got you.
Tellman: And I mean those are the two. NLP and hypnotherapy, self
hypnosis, very powerful things, I recommend if people are really into
this stuff that you go and get certified. That's the way you are going
to learn it otherwise you're reliant on someone else. I don't like
people relying on someone else.
Kevin: Right.
Tellman: The way I really learned this stuff was becoming trained in
the field.
Kevin: Right. What's your take on nutrition and exercise in relation
to ADD. Is it effective, is it not effective, is there better things
to spend your time doing?
Tellman: I don't think ADD people really need to eat. That is a joke.
Kevin: [laugh]
Tellman: Now, seriously. The nutrition and exercise I find to be
extraordinarily pivotal in my experiences with ADD, I try to run
everyday if humanly possible. And it makes a huge difference in the
way my body functions, in the way my brain functions, and my ability
to get way, way, way more done of everything I do. Likewise I only eat
organic food unless I'm traveling. And I still try as much as possible
which means I have to eat a lot less food. Right. I must have much
healthier food with much more nutrients which means I don't have to
stuff myself with useless calories all the time and essentially,
useless simple sugars, I think useless... they are not useless, they
are useful in certain quantities, right.
Kevin: Sure.
Tellman: Smaller quantities than most Americans consume. So, yeah, I
used to eat all organic food and get some kind of cardiovascular
exercise in everyday. I find that to be hugely, hugely helpful for me.
Kevin: Yeah. There are a lot of [advertisements] that sugar might be a
serious factor in ADD symptoms?
Tellman: I've heard that over and over and over again. I certainly
can't dispute it. I know that when I eat a lot of sugar I can get a
lot less done. So I don't generally eat my sugar.
Kevin: Yeah. How do you generally practice differently now in terms of
the information that you give out to educate people with ADD in terms
of self improvement now. How do you practice differently now then you
did when you first started. What may be one or two high moments when
you said, "hey you know this really works effectively this way" or
"...why it really works more effectively than A or B"?
Tellman: Well, when I started I was strictly working with people one
on one. And when I made the decision to not work with people one on
one anymore, I would only work with people through my programs, my
systems. What I found was two things. Number one is that I was forced
to come up with techniques, tactics and principles that were
applicable to a much higher percentage of people consistently all the
time again and again and again. And again when I started out, I had
private practices and that was great but I wasn't always giving people
the best tactics that would work for the largest percentage of people.
It's kind of like hitting this every single time, right. So though
everyone is different there are certainly techniques and tactics that
can be used. The step by step system is one of the things that I found
to be a little over rated. Again people with ADD think they want step
by step systems. I totally understand why people would think that.
Just ask yourself when was the last time you completed the step by
step system? You know, very rare for most folks.
Kevin: Yeah.
Tellman: Right, so I think step by step systems for ADD aren't
necessarily an effective solution. Right. An effective solution in my
experience are quick rapid implement systems that don't take much time
to learn and you don't need any kind of reference sheet in order to
activate.
Kevin: [laughs]
Tellman: Right, because, you probably forgot and left that reference
sheet at home. And that's the reality of it. You know, if you are
going to use a technique use something that you can implement in
seconds -- seconds, not minutes not hours. Seconds is absolutely
essential when you are picking and choosing different self improvement
methods that you may want to apply.
Kevin: If someone was to take one thing away from this call what would
it be?
Tellman: I would say ADD will make you unstoppable if you choose to
use it. One of the things that I really truly believe and I found to
be the case, over and over again is that people with ADD are a lot
like superman would be if he was wearing a necklace with kryptonite on
it. He just doesn't realize he's wearing a necklace with kryptonite on
it. Once he takes it off, watch out because it's time to rip it up,
you know he can fly around the world; he can cheat laser beams and
these amazing things. The biggest thing I would say is every single
time you complain about having ADD you are just making that necklace
of kryptonite a little bigger. Every time you choose not to, you're
taking another piece off. And you can accomplish whatever you want in
one-one hundredth of the time of anyone -- if you choose ADD to make
that happen.
Kevin: Well, very powerful stuff. Let me tell you this, we're running
out of time. This has just been extremely insightful and, you know,
I'm learning from this as I'm listening to you.
