Yes.
And it just helps you be more present.
And that's what regulation is all about.
And that helps a lot with the ADHD symptoms.
Can I just be present in this moment and do the one next step instead of conceptualizing all the million things I want to do today?
It would be really what Fifi just said, which is, can I be present in the moment?
What's the one next step?
And so I would say even get your feet on the floor.
Like it could be that small because often why we're not getting up is, oh my gosh, I'm thinking about the whole day ahead.
I have that meeting at three.
That's going to be really hard and stressful.
We get so overwhelmed that it pushes us into that freeze response.
I'm going to give that one a B. I do like the idea of not jumping up and being swung around by our urgent thoughts because that is going to fuel our dysregulation, which makes ADHD worse.
And then if we respond to those urgent thoughts, next time we're going to respond even worse.
more to them it's hard to undo that so just to not get up is really good but I would add a second piece which is can we also challenge what we write down because we can get stuck in this fear-based thinking where I can't forget anything but a lot of those thoughts maybe are safe to forget it's safe to let them go and we want to practice a little bit of flexible thinking with that how do we know which thoughts are safe to let go and which ones we are going to want to hang on to
It might take time to figure out what works for you or what's relevant for you.
But for me, like I used to have notes of like movies I wanted to watch, actors I wanted to look up, like stuff where if I never see that movie, I'll be fine.
It's safe to let that go.
If it comes back up in my world, cool.
If not, I'm okay.
