Not only is spring a good time to clean out your house, it's a great time to clean out the clutter in your brain. Try these strategies.
As a member of the ADHD tribe, I’m prone to mood swings. I have mood swings within mood swings! My regular mood swings happen within my seasonal mood swings, which also encompass my monthly mood swings. That’s another blog.
I have a pretty great relationship with nature, as most people with ADHD do. There’s a strong connection, kinship, and mutual respect, so it’s not surprising that. In the summer, I’m full of fire energy — with less patience for my kids, who are home from school. In the fall, I nest and become more calm and introspective. In the winter, I “die” with the leaves and become withdrawn. Spring finds me happy-go-lucky and back to life.
Mother Nature knows that in order to make room for new growth there must first be some purging. Leaves fall to the ground in the autumn so that new leaves have somewhere to thrive in the spring. Without this balance, there wouldn’t be room for growth and the tree would stagnate.It’s the same for us. As creatures connected to nature, it makes sense to follow her direction and do some spring cleaning of our own.
. You can have a garage sale, or, if that seems like too much effort, you can freecycle, or donate your items. When you’re done de-cluttering the house, mix up an all-natural, aroma-therapeutic cleanser to make things shiny, just as those of us with ADHD like ’em. Using orange and lavenderAdd the following to a spray bottle and shake well: 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 24 drops of lavender essential oil, 24 drops of sweet orange essential oil.
