ADHD Overwhelm (4 Steps to Overcome Paralysis)

Listen Later

ADHD Overwhelm is extremely common, and we'll show you four easy steps to overcome paralysis!

One great way to overcome the overwhelm is to stop the stress and anxiety. But easier said than done, right?

We'll show you how to do it, step-by-step:

Step 1: Calm your body: We'll show you some proven breathing techniques to stop the overwhelm.

Step 2: Get everything out of your head! Stop the swirling thoughts. We call this making an Everything List.

Step 3: Clear out Non-urgent Items from your list and life. Start categorizing these items, so that you'll know what you need to do today, and, of course, what you don't need to do! For example, if there is something that you... Don't want to do, don't need to do, then don't do it! Cross it out!

Step 4: Break down intimidating tasks and projects into manageable pieces, and we'll show you how.
