Navigating Adult ADHD with Xena Jones Xena Jones

This is an alternative therapy I use to manage my ADHD symptoms & help regulate & process my emotions... When I'm in fight or flight,  experiencing physical or emotional  pain, need help focusing or getting out of my head, I use EFT Tapping. 
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique also known as “tapping” - because you are tapping on various meridian points around your body to calm your nervous system (watch my video demo HERE) 
This usually results in a reduction of stress levels, feeling calmer & quieting a negative or overthinking ADHD brain. 
It is evidence based & backed by a tonne of scientific research - including one study which measured a 50% reduction in peoples stress levels!
"A chill pill for your nervous system"

Time blindness is a common symptom of ADHD. Time for us is either now or not now.  This is why you might struggle to set goals or never feel like you achieve them. 

This episode is NOT about giving you more tips & tricks (because if they worked, they would have worked already!)

This episode gets to the root cause of why we mismanage our time & exactly how to become good at time management & getting sh*t done.

 DR Russell Barkley, Ph.D., is well know for saying "ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do, it’s a disorder of doing what you know.” THIS is exactly what we are addressing in this episode! 

To leave a ratings & review, here are quick tutorials showing you how:

This episode is for the loved ones of an ADHDer. There is a lot of stigma & many misconceptions about living with ADHD & we can have a hard time communicating this to you. 

Thank you for taking the time to better understand us. My intention with this episode was to provide better insight into our lives & why we are the way we are. 

And thank you to the ADHDers who shared with me what it is you most want your loved ones to know. I have compiled a list of 6 key things & included some research & science to help support further understanding. 

“What may look like behavioural choices — laziness, sloppiness, and forgetfulness — are due to differences in our brain structure."

How many times have you thought when I do this or get this then I’ll be happy…?

Maybe you think you are doing something wrong or there was something wrong with you because you don’t feel happy or good most of the time?

Society has taught us that the goal in life is to be happy.

But the truth is: Life is 50/50
Being human means we will experience 50% positive emotions & 50% negative emotions.

AND this is such good news my friends!
The key to happy life, is NOT to be happy all the time.

Emotions dysregulation is one of the ADHD symptoms that has the biggest affect on our lives.  And here's why:
When we don't manage our emotions, they manage us. When we don't know how to respond to them, we reactOur emotions drive all of our actions. Emotions are everything! 
When we take action (this includes procrastination) it’s because of how we feel.
When we are watching Netflix & scrolling on Instagram, it's not because we are lazy. 
It’s because of an emotion we are feeling.
And here's the best news: Emotional regulation is a skill we can learn.
