Meditation & ADHD

It's important for people with ADHD to find inside themselves a sense of inter-calm, inner-peace. It's important for us to experience quiet time, relaxation time. A common complaint of people with ADHD is that they feel like they are always on the go, they feel like they're driven by a motor, they feel that it's never quiet in their heads. This is where complications with sleep can happen with ADHD. The minute you lay down to try and rest is when every commercial jingle you know starts running through your head. A good way to start learning quiet time is to engage in meditation activities, and practice meditation, and I say practice meditation because it takes practice. It's not an overnight fix to anything. By learning meditation and mindfulness we can start to become aware of the state of our heads, the state of our brains, and get a sense of, this is what I'm feeling, I feel energized, I feel motorized. There's a lot of sound in my head and by exercising, breathing, and meditation skills, we can actually learn to control the amount of noise in our head, and the amount of motorization in our day to day lives, and in our feelings. I think it's essential for someone with ADHD to seek quiet, and learn to seek calm.
