ADHDFest

Ever heard of a gong bath? Girl, if not, you haven't lived 🔥

But seriously, I tried it out a few times and I'm here to give you both my personal experience AND the science behind it. Not only does it have benefits in helping you fight your way through burnout and adhd overwhelm, but it actually can boost your focus too. A small but mighty episode this week, I encourage you to try this out.

Too burnt out to even try? We created the Burnout Bible to get yourself back to base level functioning in a no nonsense, no thinking required, fun way here:

I've received some requests to hear more about my personal experience in discovering and being diagnosed with ADHD aged 34. I've mentioned it here and there but been reluctant to go into everything because I wanted the ADHDFest Podcast to be about all of us, rather than just myself. However, after listening to a recent podcast by Mel Robbins about her personal experience, I realised, a personal story IS everyone's story, we all find a small part of ourselves in someone else and I found her story helpful and validating. So this episode, is mine.

Meditation.

Celebrity A listers, medical professionals and a multitude of studies have been praising this free technique and enjoying the very real benefits. ADHD wise, it really is helpful in counteracting some of the negatives (by targeting your prefrontal cortex, it's science apparently!)

...But none of that makes a difference if we find it painful to sit down and meditate in the first place. Personally my endless racing thoughts cannot be switched off at will - that's kind of the whole ADHD deal - I end up planning tonight's dinner, counting down the seconds or the opposite, falling fast asleep!

So what can we do?! in today's episode I'm going to share a technique that works in the same way as meditation whilst keeping you awake and engaged. I actually find it similar to stimming - mindfulness with fidgets 😂

One of my FAVOURITE topics to go deep on and something we all need to be aware of. I've found a real trend as I've been meeting more and more ADHD'ers, everyone has had experiences with severely toxic people or who they would describe as Narcissists. By bringing light to the ways in which we may bond quickly to someone, only to find out later they are toxic, we can hopefully avoid them all together. Most of the ADHD traits that attract narcissists, are also ones that attract wonderful people into our lives.... they're not flaws we need to fix, but we do need to be more aware of the motivation of people around us.

Book towards the end: The Worthy Project by Meadow Decor

Ok! Let's Experiment and Get Sh*t Done Together!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

*This episode was so popular that it inspired me to create the BODY DOUBLING CLUB membership - All the episodes take on daily tasks in this format. You get access to all the content so far and new episodes every month. Check it out HERE

(skip the intro option: action starts at 6 mins 45 secs)

"ADHD body doubling is a practice in which a person works on and completes potentially frustrating tasks alongside another person. The body double’s job is to help anchor the person with ADHD to the present moment and task, reducing the risk of distraction."

I am MEGA excited this week. A practical, hands on episode to get you motivated to clean and tidy your home. We are NOT aiming for perfection, we are just aiming for BETTER than the current situation - so no matter what your starting point is, you will end the episode with a win 💥

This was inspired by the American podcast - "Clean with me by Jessica Gutierrez" . Be sure to give them a listen, this is just my take with an ADHD specific approach. I am so excited to hear your feedback on this as I'm brimming with lots more body doubling ideas. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

Masking - do you think you do it? The truth is, you may have been doing it for so long that you're totally unaware. Let's talk about some examples and ask ourselves, is it always a bad thing? In the second half of today's episode we're going to work out if masking can be used to our advantage when we are trying to manifest our goals and dreams and where it can sometimes lead us down the wrong path.
