Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

We’re continuing our series on ADHD and Self-care this week. Today, we’re digging into the sometimes thorny question of medication, and we have a fantastic guest to help us do just that.

We’ve talked about the importance of exercise before. The connection between moving your body and psychological and emotional health is no great secret. But if that’s the case, why is it so difficult to make the transition from sedentary life, to an active one, and how do you build these new behaviors into your day, every day?

Living with ADHD is inextricably connected to living well in your own skin. From cultivating the ability to find your emotional peace, to building a strong heart through physical exercise, your own human system defines how well you are taking care of your ADHD.

Listen in today — if you’ve ever found yourself forgetting what feeling good feels like, you need to join us for this series and kick off 2016 with a celebration of you!

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been talking about motivation and building your vision for your future self. But we’re busy — some of us VERY busy — and when challenged with our ADHD, it can seem impossible to schedule the time and intention to actually implement the change we want to see in our lives.

Heather from Pennsylvania called us with a question so good we had to do a whole episode dedicated to it!

This week, we’re going to take on the executive functioning fog that can set it and prevent you from getting started and doing the things that are most important.

Today, a metaphor. You’re at the top of a hill. There’s a giant ball in front of you, held up by a rock. If you kick that rock, the ball will start rolling down the hill, picking up speed and racing on its way. But you’re struggling with your ADHD.

If you’re a regular listener of this show, you know we have a shared view of personal improvement and growth: leverage the momentum of the community!

This week on the show, Nikki and Pete talk about creating a vision for yourself, sculpting your loose goals into refined projects that you’re excited to make a reality. The race to January 1 begins — get ready to celebrate the change in your life!

This week on the show, Nikki and Pete talk about the practice of gratitude, and what it means to live in the present as we go into this holiday week.

It's Thanksgiving here in the United States and while there is certainly some nod to history here around the founding of this special time in our country, it has come to mean something more than its historical context. It is a time of gratitude.

This week on the show, we have a digital episode that goes beyond — a list of tools, services, and toys that should ring all the right bells for your friendly ADHD compadre!

Tis the season to start thinking about the gifts that you can give your ADHD friends and family that can help relieve their stress.
