Daily Routine for the Stressed and the ADHD
I must admit, these last few weeks have been incredibly tough (and a great learning lesson). It all started with a really minor boo-boo last month. I slipped and twisted over my stronger foot…turning it all sorts of fun shades of blues and purples, greens, and even grays!
Since then I’ve struggled. I had to stop my workout routine to recover, and with that routine out of the way, all others soon followed. Without routine and my daily recharges in nature, I struggled to stay on top of my game.
First my creativity waned.
Then my productivity.
And next, perhaps, my sanity?
ADD gone out-of-control means anxieties blown out of proportion. It leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy…you begin worrying about things more (after-all, your brain needs SOMETHING to keep itself pre-occupied) and then you start causing these worries to become reality.
The key to my success is my routine, exercise, diet, and nature…simple enough? I need to be plugged into nature to remind me of who I am and clear my mind. I need a routine to feel productive and know what I’m doing when…and both the exercise and diet help keep my mind focused, relaxed, and keep my body-clock on track…without them I struggle in the day, and have big challenges sleeping at night!
