#41: Morning Mental Checklist
Wait, doesn’t everyone have a morning mental checklist? It’s like the brain just can’t wait to start ticking off all the things on the to-do list, but the body is a little slower to catch up. It’s great that this person is recognizing this as a symptom of their ADHD and not just a case of the Monday morning blues.
Sometimes it’s tough to get going in the morning, but it’s important to find a routine or strategy that works best for each individual. Maybe it’s setting an alarm across the room so they have to physically get out of bed to turn it off physically, or starting the day with a few minutes of mindfulness or stretching to get the blood flowing. The key is finding what works best for them and sticking to it, even on those tough mornings.
