ADHD Pattern Recognition Creates Luck

Your ADHD pattern recognition is creating your own luck.
You don’t need to white-knuckle success. Your brain is already wired to notice opportunities others miss.

Did you know you can train it even more?

Here’s how it works:

• Pattern connection = dopamine burst

• ADHD brains = low baseline, but more reactive

• Each connection = more pleasure + reinforcement

• Which makes us even better at spotting patterns

Try this exercise: “A Few of My Favorite Things”

Days 1–3 → Deliberate scanning

• Pick one thing that makes you happy (flowers, tattoos, humorous T-shirts).

• Actively look for examples throughout the day.

Days 4–6 → Passive detection

• Choose a favorite thing, but don’t hunt.

• Let them pop out at you.

Days 7+ → Interesting mode

• Decide to notice “something interesting.”

• Let your unconscious decide what qualifies.

This trains the pattern → dopamine → awareness loop.

Why it works:

Days 1–3: Deliberate scanning

• ·       You’re steering your attention on purpose (“Find flowers. Find tattoos.”).

• ·       Each time you spot one, your brain gets a small dopamine reward for matching prediction with reality.

Days 4–6: Passive detection

• ·       Now you stop hunting and let things stand out on their own.

• ·       This builds trust in your unconscious mind, which is constantly scanning in the background. That’s intuition in action—fast pattern recognition beneath awareness.

Days 7+: Interesting mode

• ·       You set a loose goal, “something interesting”, and let your brain decide what qualifies.

• ·       Here your imaginative and intuitive systems work together, strengthening the bridge between curiosity and intuition.

The big shift:
You move from effortful noticing → effortless awareness.
That’s how white-knuckling turns into what looks like luck.
Plus you’re bringing more joy into your everyday life.
This is what it means to live an Enhanced Life.
