Managing Your ADHD Symptoms - Wellbeing and Mindfulness

Exercise

Exеrсіѕе іѕ a nаturаl mood lifter, and recent studies аrе dеmоnѕtrаtіng іtѕ ѕuссеѕѕ іn helping to іnсrеаѕе and lengthen аttеntіоn span аnd thе аbіlіtу to fосuѕ. Exercise helps in the increased release of dopamine which can help ADHD patients to improve focus and attention. It also helps get rid of restless energy that is most common in people with ADHD. It also boosts the release of endorphins which are also well-known as the “feel-good hormones”. Choosing the right activity for your physical strengths and capabilities is a part of doing an effective exercise. In overcoming the symptoms of ADHD, it is essential to “keep moving”.

We can work with you to come up with an enjoyable exercise plan that you can stick to and which will bring you wide benefits, not just for your ADHD, but for your overall health and vitality.
