31 Day Challenge: Day 21

If you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, I don’t have to tell you that a lack of order in your home isn’t the only problem. In fact, it might not even be your biggest problem.

The clutter inside your head might be more important.

Am I right?

So how do you clear your head out so that what’s in there makes sense?

Well, I have a number of ideas:

• Consider ADHD medication; it works for a lot of people.
• Try a nootropic like Brain Stack
• Try essential oils like peppermint or blends made for ADHD
• Make sure you get enough sleep
• Eat protein at every meal
• Drink enough water. If you’re thirsty, you are dehydrated.
• Exercise is one of the most beneficial things you can do to help focus and concentration, so do it regularly.
• Make a dump list. Write down everything on your mind on a piece of paper and refer to it as needed.
• Try an herbal tea or remedy to help you relax if anxiety is a problem.
• Learn to meditate. Giving your brain a rest can be very valuable.
• Practice yoga. It helps mind, body, and spirit.
• Examine your life. Are you trying to do too much?
• Practice excellent self care
• Give yourself at least 15 minutes of quiet time each day
• Delegate
• Learn to give up your perfectionist tendencies
• Set no more than 3 to dos or tasks to get done in a day

And finally, realize that it’s an ongoing battle, not something you can do once and check off as done.
