With ADHD, projects can be overwhelming… take for example: making dinner. There are soooo many steps that you need to take – choosing a recipe, chopping vegetables, getting out the ingredients, etc.

But what if you did some of the steps ahead of time? Like you’d preheat the oven so it’s all warmed up and ready to go?

Learning when and how to take a break is a really important skill for managing ADHD. We need to be mindful of ourselves, but just being aware isn’t enough.

To really manage ADHD effectively, we need to pay attention to our thoughts and actions AND make changes when necessary.

What we really need is a moment to pause—a quick second to stop and adjust our actions away from those less helpful habits tied to ADHD.

Learning to pause is super important for anyone with ADHD because it helps keep impulsivity in check, improves emotional reactions, and helps us make better decisions.

Tune into this episode of Kick Some ADHD to discover why you want to practice the pause as a handy tool for ADHD.

Your friend asks if you want to do something and you say, “YES!” And you truly mean that YES with the best of intentions. You want to do it. But for a whole list of possible reasons, you don’t follow through.

Earlier this week, one of my private coaching clients said: “When you have ADHD, you live in the gray, but think in the black and white.”

What this means is that we view things in extremes, there’s no middle ground. It’s all or nothing.

And this cognitive distortion touches everything to do with ADHD leading us to struggle, procrastinate, get things started, manage emotions and relationships. It just makes things harder than they need to be.

So let’s talk about how we can manage it!
