10 Meaningful Areas to Ponder in the New Year

It’s an undeniable fact - most New Year’s resolutions fail. Not because we don’t want to improve our situation or have a lack of motivation – we do! The truth is, most of us don’t take the time to really create goals that will work for us. When January 1st rolls around, there’s tremendous pressure to outline goals and resolutions for the next 365 days. Many of us are exhausted from the holiday celebrations and we jump into kneejerk promises- lose weight, focus more, etc. We don’t take the time to really assess where we hurt or dream the most.

If Everything is Important, Nothing is Important

If Everything is Important, then Nothing is Important… I love the phrase “If everything is important, then nothing is important”. I have no idea who said it or where it came from, but I’m sure I read it somewhere at some point, and I use it a lot. There is something about it that is so concise, so precise, so to-the-point. It addresses our obsession as a society to multi-tasking and speaks to everything from our in-boxes to our life values.

ADHD and Driving – Risks and Strategies

Mom, can I have the keys to go meet Cheryl at the mall?” “Dad, I just need the car for about an hour so I can take my friends to get some ice-cream.” “Mom, it’s so hot out!

Don’t Miss a Step: Celebrate!

For people with ADHD, a familiar strategy to get things done is to be very clear about their goals, break them down into smaller pieces, and complete those smaller pieces in order to carry out the goal.

I Have ADHD. Now What?

ADHD affects conservatively about 5-8% of the world’s population. With the world’s population being around 7 billion…that’s a lot of people struggling with inattention, impulsivity or distractibility! Since math has never been my best academic subject, comprehending such a number has always been a bit hard for me. I guess it means that if I’m sitting in a room of 30 people, at least two or three of those people have a creative, overly active, easily distractible brain just like mine.

The Five Best “Natural” Ways to Manage Your Adult ADHD

People with ADHD are often eager to explore all the possibilities of better managing their ADHD challenges. Even though studies show that medication is up to 70-80% effective in reducing the core symptoms of ADHD (inattention, impulsivity and distractibility), there is no “magic pill” that alleviates all the struggles or cures ADHD. The impact of ADHD is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and most ADHD medications wear off within 4-12 hours. That leaves many hours in the day that often require alte ative ways of coping with and managing ADHD symptoms.
