I love this quote by Viktor Frankl. It has guided me throughout the years. Both my clients and I have found the easiest way to create SPACE between stimulus and response is to have a regular mindfulness practice.

Within this space, this pause, this breath is CHOICE.

And when we have choice…we have FREEDOM. We are free to choose our response. As we understand our ADHD brain and unhook from our knee-jerk responses, we pause, reflect, consider our options.

We ask ourselves - what choice would be most aligned with respecting my neurodivergence, my values, and my vision.

And when we do this consistently enough, we grow, we thrive, ADHD becomes our superpower.
____________

The following mindfulness based practices work for my clients in helping them have space between stimulus and response:

1. Intentional, deep breathing for a minute
2. Going outside and feeling your feet on the ground
3. Snapping a rubber band on your wrist.
4. Use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 technique. 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 positive true thing about yourself.
___________

Topic Of The Week: 🧠Mindfulness to manage ADHD

By the end of the end of this week you will have:

❣️An understanding of how Mindfulness improves ADHD symptoms
❣️An introduction to 2 mindfulness based practices that work well for ADHDers
❣️Tools for practicing mindfulness on a regular basis.

Have you tried mindfulness? What works for you? What doesn’t?

👇Comment below

When I work with clients who have ADHD I support them in developing a practice that works for them. Traditional mindfulness practices are often challenging for ADHDers. They can be too boring & unstructured to hold our attention.

Mindfulness practices work best when practiced regularly…which is also a challenge for ADHDers. However, there are several ADHD-friendly modifications which can make mindfulness more enjoyable and easier to practice.

Topic Of The Week: 🧠Mindfulness to manage ADHD

By the end of the end of this week you will have:

Here is the resource for the week, Mindfulness Meditations for ADHD by Merriam Sarcia Saunders.

The meditations in this book are so helpful for ADHDers. But I want to hear what works for you….

What drains your energy?

We all have our own internal limited battery energy. Those with ADHD find their battery becomes quickly and easily depleted from activities that others don't find taxing at all. Knowing what charges our batteries and what depletes them is vital for our physical and mental health.

What depletes your batteries? What rejuvenates you?

So my inattentive/imaginative ADHD is on this morning. I’ve always imagined I would hole up in Costco during the zombie apocalypse.

Took it a step further this morning… Top three items needed during the zombie apocalypse. I came up with recliner, chocolate, covered almonds, and loppers.

What are your top three items?

I look outside and feel the first wisps of spring move through my body. My mood lighten & new energy unfurls.

Just like many of us experience seasonal changes throughout the year…we also experience hormonal ‘seasonal’ changes throughout our menstrual cycle.

ADHDers who menstruate keep reading! Our menstrual cycle can have a BIG impact on our ADHD symptoms. Let’s break it down by ‘season.’

❄️ Winter: This includes PMS and the first couple of days of your period and is a time of low energy. And this is a time when ADHD symptoms worsen: Forgetfulness, brain fog, irritability and big emotions.

The hormonal shifts and changes in your body mean it’s time to slow down and pay attention.

🌱Spring: About a week after your period, estrogen levels are rising. Creative ideas are bubbling. You might feel motivated to tackle new projects and experiences.

☀️ Summer: During ovulation estrogen levels are at their highest and there is also a spike in testosterone. This is when you’re laser-focused and can knock out your to do lists.

🍁Autumn: About a week before your period begins estrogen levels drop and progesterone levels are on the rise. This is the time of the month for slowing down, saying no, and replenishing. During this time our inner critic and low mood can start to rise. It’s time for a lot of self-love and self-care.

This week our theme is:
🧠ADHD, Hormones And The Menstrual Cycle.

Join me in my Facebook Group ADHD Thrive LIVE This Thursday at 6 pm CT/7 pm ET to learn:

❣️How s*x hormones affect ADHD during the menstrual cycle
❣️The (very limited) state of research on the effects of hormones on ADHD
❣️Tips on how to monitor and manage your ADHD symptoms throughout your cycle.
