Mental Care: The Most Important Part By now you may be thinking that while all of above aspects of self-care seem like common sense, they are a lot easier said than done. This is absolutely true for most people with ADD. When you live life feeling chronically overwhelmed, it's very difficult to find time to put these ideas into action. Here's what you can do to set yourself up for success: take time out. Schedule in "down time" every single day to help keep your batteries charged. Retreat from chaos of daily life and allow yourself time to relax - alone. Even if you spend only five minutes a day meditating, walking, or just sitting quietly, it will allow you to slow your thoughts and will help you center yourself. Then, when you feel centered, take it a step further and express yourself! Write, paint, sing, talk to your plants, or do whatever it is that allows you to express your feelings and emotions! Keeping your feelings and emotions bottled will weigh you down. Finding healthy ways of self-expression will help free your mind and allow you to spend more energy focusing on other aspects of self-care. When you practice excellent self-care, you allow yourself to function at an optimal level. When you operate on an optimal level, you'll find yourself less overwhelmed, and more prepared to deal with your ADD challenges, as well as stresses of every day life. Excellent self-care is an essential skill for adult ADD management. © Copyright 2004. All rights reserved.
