It's a frustrating cycle: We do something impulsively under stress & BAM — we're drowning in shame and embarrassment. And our emotions seem totally out of control. But there's good news. We can reset, re-center, and re-envision our purpose. Here's how.
Before you do or say something, calm yourself down. Here's a tool that has helped a lot of parents accomplish that: Visualize yourself scooping up your anger, worry, or disappointment with both hands and place that uncomfortable emotion at the side of the room. Picturing yourself doing it can clear your mind. Your feeling will still be there, waiting for you, if you want it back later.
When you learn to maintain balance by re-centering and calming yourself time and time again, you neurologically ingrain the pattern of getting your life back on track. You stop being afraid of screwing up again. Instead of driving people away, you bring them closer. Knowing you can reset, re-center, and re-envision your purpose raises your self-esteem.Managing the disruptions of ADHD is a matter of finding and practicing what works for you.
