My Morning Routine (As a person on the ADHD path)
1. 5am wake up, dog duty - no phone for an hour. I do some affirmations while walking my dogs. Followed by a simple QiGong practice.
2. Tidying up house - helps quieten my brain & also gives me a sense of accomplishment.
3. 30-min on the spin cycle. Pumps blood through body & triggers a release of dopamine & serotonin, to improve mood. This is important because I often wake up with debilitating anxiety.
4. BPC (Espresso with Ghee) + 5-HTP. My biohack to increase serotonin, while also keeping me focused and less agitated. Allows me to be hyper-productive
ADHD looks very different in women.
More than the hyperactivity & lack of focus that men with ADHD experience, women face symptoms of anxiety and depression. They often have racing thoughts & at times space out.
To mask these symptoms, many women end up being high-achievers. Losing out to peers, is not an option. Because, that leads to more depression & anxiety and self-blame
Anyone else on this ride?
