We use visual aids, like a picture of a cloudy sky, to explain the basic concepts, because people with ADHD tend to be visual learners. The blue sky represents the space of awareness, and the clouds represent all the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that pass by.That’s it? You do something for just a few minutes a day, and it makes your ADHD better?
You can actually practice mindfulness at any time, even during conversation with others. Turning on the mind-awareness state at any time during your day, even if only for a few minutes, is great training. It’s essentially letting go of the busy-ness of your thinking, and bringing your attention to what’s happening in the present moment in everyday life.It’s the nature of the mind to be distracted. Mindful awareness isn’t about staying with the breath, but about returning to the breath.
