Take a mindfulness break: Take a break from your daily grind and focus on the present moment. When you start to feel flustered, frustrated, or like things are moving too fast, take a few deep breaths and pay attention to your surroundings. This can help you refocus and get back on track. Use guided imagery: Guided imagery can help you visualize a peaceful scene, which can be helpful for managing symptoms like impulsivity and hyperactivity.

I read a trick to inspect your surroundings... Name 5 things you see...5 things you can hear...smell, touch... Ground yourself to the moment and I assure you, it WILL help.

You can also try progressive muscle relaxation: This technique can help you relax your muscles and reduce stress, which can be helpful for managing symptoms like impulsivity and hyperactivity.

Practice gratitude: Focusing on what you're grateful for can help you shift your attention away from negative thoughts and feelings.

Meditate: Meditation can help you focus your attention, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

NOW, don't freak out thinking you're gonna have to be a yoga master... My psychiatrist blew my mind when she told me that playing Tetris is Meditation...Listening to your favorite songs can be meditations. You simply need to be doing something and be consciously in the moment with it.

Okay, so there you have it, our top five quick mindfulness hacks to help you crush your ADHD.
