Be mindful. When you are consuming and creating content, it is important to understand your mindset. When you are scrolling, do you feel anxious in the pit of your stomach? Are you jealous? Stressed out? Depressed? It may seem very simple (in retrospect) to put down your phone, but if you are not mindful of what you are doing, you just continue to fester in your discomfort. When you are creating content, are you doing it because you are passionate and engaged or because you wanted to get likes? These are all very plausible driving motivations that you may not be aware of.
Self-Care for People With ADHD
Sasha Hamdani
The following steps are a reliable, natural way to calm yourself and come back to the present: 1. Feel the sensations of breathing: air coming in at the nose, and your chest or abdomen rising and falling. 2. Recognize when your mind wanders, and gently return your attention to the breath. 3. Follow the full cycle of breathing: the inhale, the exhale, and the space in between breaths. 4. Use helpful phrases, such as In, Out, or Here, Calm, or count breaths to support your attention as you inhale and exhale.
