Embracing Mindfulness: A Powerful Approach to ADHD Wellbeing Wellness
As an individual who was diagnosed with ADHD and BPD in my mid-thirties, finding mindfulness and wellness' strategies has been a game changer. Implementing techniques like the tips I have listed, has given me clarity on many aspects of my life. I just had to share these tips with you!
Incorporating Mindfulness Techniques into Your Daily Life
Tip #1 - Mindful Breathing: Grounding Yourself to Focus in the Present
Begin your journey towards ADHD wellness by implementing breathing techniques into your daily rituals and routines. Engage in deep, intentional breathing exercises to center your thoughts and anchor yourself in the present. Bring yourself to a quiet calm noise free place to centre yourself from all the outside noise. This simple yet powerful technique helps alleviate distractions and enhances concentration.
Tip #2 - Sensory Awareness: Tuning into the Present Environment with Mindfulness Strategies
Activate your senses consciously and become more aware of your surroundings without focusing to much on the situation, environment, sights, sounds, smells, or textures, just becoming aware of the moment. Whether it's the texture of an object or the sound of birds chirping, heighten your sensory awareness. By immersing yourself in the present environment, you can minimize external distractions and promote a state of focused calm. Try your best to surf through your emotions like a surfer rides a wave.
"Science is showing us that there are neurological (brain) factors that contribute to self-control and willpower, along with learning and upbringing. And when these brain systems are functioning improperly or become damaged, normal levels of self-control and willpower are impossible." – Dr. Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D.
Tip #3 - Mindful Movement: Channeling Energy Productively
Explore physical activities that synchronize with mindfulness. Yoga, tai chi, or even a mindful walk around your neighborhood can help channel excess energy, providing an outlet for hyperactivity while promoting a sense of tranquility. Personally, this is a strategy that helps me clear my mind and refocus on the day. I bring my Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones onto my favorite Spotify playlist and release my mind from overthinking.
Transitioning Towards a More Focused Future
As you embark on this mindfulness journey, embrace the power of transition words to seamlessly connect your thoughts. Words like 'moreover,' 'however,' and 'consequently' facilitate smooth transitions, enhancing the flow of your narrative. The power of positive thinking and daily positive gratitude affirmations have a tremendous affect on the neurodivergent brain, take full advantage of these mindfulness hacks.
