What is Mindfulness and How Can We Get Started, plus A Mindfulness Exercise for ADHD with Taucha Post #94
We're continuing our discussion on mindfulness with Taucha Post. In our last episode, we discussed how mindfulness improves our ADHD symptoms, how mindfulness and ADHD are connected in the brain, along with shame, perfectionism, and setting ourselves up for success instead of letting the failure mindset take over.
What is mindfulness and how do we get started practicing mindfulness?
Learning a few basic mindfulness techniques will give you a free ADHD treatment that you can practice throughout your day and with your children. It's easy to get started with mindfulness for ADHD with the mindfulness exercises Taucha shares.
Let's discuss what mindfulness is and what it isn't, bust through common myths about mindfulness, and then Taucha will walk us through a short and peaceful mindfulness exercise you can do at home with me. So grab a tasty beverage, and settle in for a warm hug of a chat with Taucha.
Taking care of yourself is a basic requirement of living - like food and water - not a luxury item. Self-care can and must be done in every stage of motherhood. Get ready - let's figure out what self-care truly fits you. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are not alone.
