“Because people with ADD live fairly fast-paced lives, they can forget to slow down a little and consider whether they are living a balanced life,” writes ADHD expert and psychotherapist Stephanie Sarkis, Ph.D, in her book 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD: How to Overcome Chronic Distraction & Accomplish Your Goals.
Self-care is key to balance. In her book Sarkis shares the various ways people with ADHD can practice self-care. This includes attending to your physical wellness, emotional wellness and spiritual wellness.
(By the way, these tips also are great for everyone.)
Here are valuable suggestions from Sarkis’s book on practicing each type of wellness.

I had to literally force myself to read this.
Yep, I’ve got ADHD. I really appreciate all the suggestions.
This article pretty much summed up what life is like for me. But the biggest issue I have is shutting down the mind. Way too loud inside. Meds help me focus so much better, but those thoughts are nearly impossible to silence.
