I'm grateful for my creative team, who helped me take my business to the next level this year with the launch of Live ADHD Free in March. I have a new website, new programs, a new series of e-books, and I have even completed a manuscript for my first full-length book! It has been a busy year.

Solving ADHD can't be done with one click.  

 

Reconnecting with Gratitude  

 

The holidays are upon us. Are you feeling merry and bright, or...anxious?

 

What if you were to treat this Holiday Season more like an Advent Calendar, and less like a Yankee Swap?

 

 

It's counter-intuitive that this time of year, which is meant to be so festive, can be nothing short of exhausting. There are parties to attend at work, school, and all of the charities and organizations you're involved with, not to mention the neighborhood, friend groups and, of course, family. The to-do list doubles with shopping, cooking, baking, decorating, shipping and so on. Somehow all of these tasks take longer than they should because they always seem to entail rummaging through boxes in the basement or searching for a cherished family recipe in the junk drawer. The house has to be clean at all times in case of drop-in company. Greeting cards have to be mailed before the rush - with a follow-up batch sent out to people you forgot to include in the first round. The weather gets messy just as your travel plans gear up.

 

The burden of so many extra chores, activities and distractions brings chaos into even the most carefully ordered life. Throw in the barrage of blinking lights and interactive store displays and auto-tuned carols blaring from every speaker, and you officially enter holiday-induced sensory overload. It can be especially hard to feel in control of your ADHD at times like this.

 

So, as another holiday season bears down on us, it's time to make a choice about your attitude. To illustrate what I mean, let's turn our attention to two very different holiday traditions.
