ADHD Awareness Month
Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month in October is an opportunity to share reliable information about ADHD, as well as highlight comprehensive treatment options and available resources to help people live their best life with ADHD.
The most common symptoms of ADHD include
- Impulsiveness.
- Disorganization and problems prioritizing.
- Poor time management skills.
- Problems focusing on a task.
- Trouble multitasking.
- Excessive activity or restlessness.
- Poor planning.
- Low frustration tolerance.
Bringing awareness to ADHD is meant to stop the spread of stereotypes and stigma in our community.
If you or someone you love experiences these symptoms, you are encouraged to seek assessment, get appropriate treatment, and find support systems that will help you thrive.
You can also learn more about ADHD by following these resources.
What Is ADHD? Meaning, Symptoms & Tests
Becoming More Authentic
It’s not too late to start living more authentically and go after what you really want.
Here’s how…
Keep Your Goals In Mind
Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- What do you find meaningful?
- Do you enjoy what you do?
- Where do you see yourself five years from now?
- If you could change one thing about your life right now, what would it be?
It’s so easy to get lost and caught up in other people’s goals that we can forget to pursue our own or put them at the bottom of our priority list.
Once you establish what you truly want right now – you can go after it.
Remember – if you can dream it, you can do it.
Listen To Your Thoughts
If something out of the ordinary makes you feel sad, happy or confused, don’t push those emotions aside.
Take a closer look at them and get to know them on a deeper level.
The sooner we challenge our thoughts, the sooner we can understand them.
It’s common for goals, priorities and feelings to change over time.
What seemed insignificant to you last year could have an entirely different emotional meaning today.
When in doubt – listen to your instincts.
“Authenticity, living your truth, kindness – these are necessary virtues.” – Merle Dandridge

Feeling Stuck? Here’s How to Move Forward
Have you been feeling a little unmotivated lately?
Well, you may be stuck in a rut. However, with some self-compassion and determination, you can turn things around.
Rearrange Your Routine
If you find yourself comfortably slipping into the same habits, challenge yourself to switch things up.
Take a new route to work (even if it adds a few minutes to the commute), read a book in a genre you have never dived into before, or complete your daily chores in a different order. These small lifestyle changes can make a huge difference in your overall motivation and energy levels.
Have Quality Time With Yourself
Part of feeling unstuck comes with self-compassion and taking care of yourself.
Getting enough sleep, spending time with people who support you, and checking in with yourself are all aspects of self-care.
Sometimes the most productive and healthy thing you can do is call it a day a couple of hours earlier than you normally do and get lost in a good book.
Find Motivation
When motivation doesn’t find you, go out and find it.
Just because you woke up one morning feeling a little unmotivated, that doesn’t have to set the tone for the entire day. You have more control over your feelings and actions than you give yourself credit for.
You’ve got this.

Do We Really Thrive On Structure?
Let’s talk about structure, shall we?
Having structure is more than just staying organized.
Maintaining structure can build confidence and help you stay on track throughout the day.
Have you ever had one of those days where you had a list a mile long and had no idea where to start?
We all have!
Adding structure to your day may not be able to eliminate those moments completely…
But it can certainly help dial them down. Remember – your entire day doesn’t have to be perfect.
All you can do is start slow and work your way up at your own pace.
Your Sleep Schedule
Shortcuts aren’t always a bad thing. But they do have their time and their place.
Your sleep is one of those things that needs your undivided attention and should be taken seriously.
When we are overtired, it is difficult to think clearly and put things in perspective, which can make it harder to make decisions throughout the day.
Going to sleep and waking up at the same time can help take out the guesswork and keep your body on track.
It all comes down to changing your mindset. Instead of telling yourself, you have to go to sleep, tell yourself it’s time to go to sleep.
Sleep shouldn’t feel like a chore you have to do. It should feel like a treat!
Reflection/Quiet Time
None of us are superheroes, and we all need some quiet time throughout the day.
An uninterrupted moment free of distractions or overstimulating environments can help you to unplug and reflect.
Let’s be honest. It can be difficult to relax and enjoy the moment when your phone is buzzing every 5 minutes
You deserve to have that time for yourself where you can think about what you’re grateful for and highlight all the ways you’ve made a mark on the day.

No One Is You And That Is Your Superpower
Here’s a quick question for you.
What top three qualities do you love most about yourself?
Okay – now here is a second question.
When was the last time you sat down and thought about all the amazing qualities you have?
Sometimes we can forget to remind ourselves how much we have to offer.
No one is you, and that is your superpower.
View Yourself With a Healthy Outlook
We all have those days where it feels like nothing goes our way.
Every “bad” day has the potential to turn into a great one.
All it takes is a little perspective shifting.
Even if something feels overwhelming or stressful right now, that does not mean you will feel this way forever.
Believe that you can handle anything – and you will!
Listen To What Makes You Happy
Listing and respecting what makes you happy in life can significantly boost your self-esteem.
If reading just one chapter of a book makes you feel good, keep on doing it.
There is no need to put excess pressure on yourself just to make someone else happy.
Walking away from something that does not bring you joy is not quitting – it is respecting your time and wellbeing.
After all, the most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
