Journey With Me Through ADHD: A podcast for kids

I'm Back! Let's Talk About 3 Steps to Activation: "Just get started" is easier said than done!


Listen Later

Wow! I have missed connecting with you all so much!! Please forgive my podcast pause! I was down and out for a couple of months after having a major surgery to remove a tumor from my carotid artery (neck). The recovery really has made me realize how much I still struggle with transitioning back into things and my activation skill needs to be exercised to get things started back up again!! This personal experience prompted me to post this episode! 

Activation is an executive function skill that can be tricky for our ADHD brains sometimes. "Just get started" is often met with the feeling of overwhelm, feeling stuck, or even frozen in the moment, with the task at hand!

In this episode, you will learn a simple formula of steps to take to go from stuck to getting started (activated)..

  1. Recognize the need to activate (what is the cause?)
  2. Regulate emotions (Practice what help you FIND calm...coloring, legos, movement activity/sport, intentional breaths, etc) & Reframe thoughts ("I will do this one thing NOW, so I can ____ later.")
  3. Restore momentum using momentum makers (fidgets, music, break it up into bite size pieces, body double, etc.)

Again, I am thrilled to be back with you all! Please reach out if you have any episode ideas or if you'd like to be a guest on my podcast! I know this one might be a little rusty, but I have some super fun episodes planned again, so stay tuned!!

If you want to learn more about the 1:1 Coaching I offer, you can visit my website at www.katelynmabry.com to schedule a free consultation or hop on my email list that I will also be getting started as soon as I practice what I preach and put those R's in motion! I only have a few more coaching spots left, so if that's an action step you would like to take with me, schedule now, and I will forward to connecting with you soon!

I will look forward to being with you ALL next week! Sending gratitude and love your way! Have a great day!!
