Mindfulness teaches you to pay attention to paying attention, and can also make you more aware of your emotional state, so you won’t react impulsively. And it's totally possible -- even with your ADHD.
for some time, but the question was always whether people with ADHD could really do it, especially if they’re hyperactive. The versatility and flexibility of mindfulness allows individuality in the approach, to make it work for you.We’ve tried to make the technique user-friendly. Our eight-week program consists of weekly two-and-a-half-hour training sessions, plus at-home practice. We start with five-minute, seated meditations at home each day, and gradually work up to 15 or 20 minutes.
Do this mental training daily. Every couple of weeks, increase the length of time you spend on the exercise — 10 minutes, 15, up to 20 or more if you feel you can. Try the same thing throughout each day, focusing on your breath for a few minutes as you walk from place to place, or when you’re stopped at a red light or sitting at the computer.
In cognitive tests, the participants got better at staying focused, even when different things were competing for their attention. Many of them also felt less stressed out and sad by the end of study. ], and it has been quite successful. The program has yet to be used specifically for children who have ADHD, but we plan to do future studies with them, and with ADHD adolescents and adults.Most stuck with the program, and, when asked to rate their overall satisfaction with it, they rated it an average of 9 out of 10. And the participants’ comments were mostly positive.
