E093: Mindfulness Techniques and ADHD: Treatment for ADHD Symptoms with Taucha Post

One of the best (and free) treatments for ADHD is mindfulness. But what is mindfulness and how do we get started practicing mindfulness?   Taucha Post of ADHD Yoga is sharing with us all about our brains and how mindfulness creates new pathways for us to learn how to slow down our brains, and present in the moment. We'll also dive into how mindfulness and ADHD are connected in the brain, and how the default mode network distracts us from our task at hand.   Taucha and I also trudge through shame, perfectionism, and setting ourselves up for success instead of letting the failure mindset take over.   Learning a few basic mindfulness techniques will give you a free ADHD treatment that you can practice throughout your day and with your children.    It's easy to get started with mindfulness for ADHD with the mindfulness techniques Taucha will teach us.  Incorporating mindfulness for an ADHD child is easier than we think.   Taking care of yourself is a basic requirement of living - like food and water - not a luxury item. Self-care can and must be done in every stage of motherhood. Get ready - let's figure out what self-care truly fits you. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are not alone.   Did you listen last week when Taucha shared her Adult ADHD journey?
