Calming ADD Brain – 6 Sure Ways To Achieve Stillness
If you are an adult suffering with ADD then you might recognise that although it is easy to say slowing down can be a very difficult if not impossible thing to do at first glance.
No matter who you are there are numerous things that have to be done and all too often little time available to get them done. So then your mind starts to work at high speed in an attempt to achieve as much as it can and more. The result can be stress at not being able to meet your requirements leading to you getting upset about the fact that it looks impossible. Because of this you use up lots of time worrying and unfortunately little time enjoying yourself.
Whilst slowing down can be a complex thing to achieve it can be done. Here are six established methods to assist you to slow your brain ADD or otherwise:
1. Put down your work
Set business hours and no matter what is left at the end of the day walk away. Stand by your rules. Even though it is going to seem necessary to work overtime avoid it at all cost. You will work better and more efficiently during the shorter hours of the day knowing that you must leave at a set time. And take weekends or at least a couple of days a week off.
2. Commit to a regular obligation
Commit to a reason to get out of your house or out of your office each week. You may want to attend a class possibly something that you have always wanted to do. Make sure that you ‘pay’ in advance for the class so that you have a reason to attend.
3. Arrange for a break with others
Few things are as enjoyable as having a night out with friends. This may be with colleagues with friends with family or with members of another group.
4. Keep a diary
Writing in a diary requires that you stop think about what you want to say and then act on what you think. It helps you to deal with nervous tension and achieve clearness. make a resolution to write every day even if only for a few minutes!
5. Switch your computer off two hours before bed
Because computers are an access point to interesting things for ADDers you can find yourself sitting at a computer until the early hours of the morning completely oblivious to what is happening around you. To make sure that this doesn’t happen to you switch the computer off at least 2 hours before you plan to go to sleep so as to suitably relax and slow down at night.
6. Meditate
There are diverse methods of meditation so find one that suits you but you may want to consider mindfulness meditation. This is the action of keeping your mind in the present whether you are walking working or washing dishes. Make an effort to keep your mind in the here and now not the past or future.
It is fine to start doing this little by little with short sessions spent in mindful meditation daily possibly only 5 minutes at a time after that building your performance as you become more at ease.
