ADHD-Friendly Self-Care: There is more than bubble baths!
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bubble bath. However few people can subsist on bubble baths alone in their toolkit.
Self-care for ADHD needs to be low effort and high dopamine.
Forget the generic "light a candle and meditate" advice—try this instead:
🌱 Fun movement (dance breaks, trampoline, chasing your dog).
-Set a timer and get yourself up and moving.
🌱 Visual reminders for meds, water, and food.
-Alarms, reminder alerts and post-its.
🌱 Easy, no-brainer meals (because executive dysfunction will win otherwise).
-Consider creating a list of meals that are easy, nutritious and delicious.
-When you’re trying to plan the weeks meals return to this list.
-When you don’t know what to eat, return to this list.
Keep it simple!
