Mindfulness and ADHD Women – 2016

ADHD causes stress, strains communication, and affects relationships.  Even the things we want to do to manage ADHD become harder because of the stress created by ADHD –  like creating new habits, establishing new behavioral plans, emphasizing success and what’s going well.

Mindfulness, on the other hand, builds traits and skills that help us manage stress and everyday challenges in life … as well as supporting almost every aspect of ADHD care.  Mindfulness can be a vital, accessible tool set that breaks the inertia around ADHD and let’s people thrive.
