Comparison is the thief of joy.
Stop comparing yourself to others.. easier said than done I know!
A helpful reframe is to think about where you were 10 years ago vs now. A completely different person and for the better, right??
Everyone’s life path is different and it does nothing beneficial to compare yourself to someone else who is on a different path, with different circumstances, different experiences, than you.
Do you struggle with comparing yourself?

Let’s get a bit music-y. Binaural beats! What are they?? An illusion created by the brain when you listen to two tones of slightly different frequencies at the same time.
Alpha frequencies encourage relaxation, decrease anxiety and promote anxiety.
Lower beta frequencies increase concentration, alertness, improve memory and problem solving.
Use a binaural beats playlist when you need to promote focus time!
YouTube has a great selection to find which one you enjoy the most.

Natural ways to help combat ADHD through nutrition!
- Watch for blood sugar levels raising too quickly then dropping it just as quick. Balanced meals, eaten throughout the day, are the best way to ensure your blood sugar stays balanced.
- Food sensitives are another that has been shown to affect ADHD symptoms. The best way is to eliminate the food for 3 weeks, eat it again and notice any symptoms that disappeared when it was eliminated and then started again when you re-introduced.
- Artificial dyes can be tricky! Studies have shown that they increase hyperactivity especially. Just like the food sensitives, the best approach is to eliminate and re-introduce.
- Omega 3s are fantastic for boosting that beautiful brain! Fish, vegetables, flax seeds, and leafy vegetables added to your diet can be beneficial.
Do you notice your symptoms worsen or improve when you are focused (or not) on your nutrition?

One of my favorite tips that I’ll continue to discuss is alarms!
Alarms can remind you to start your bedtime routine, wake up, start a workout.
They can also be used to pull you out of your hyperfocus or distraction.
If you are one to work with the pomodoro method (25 mins of work, 5 min break) then alarms are great to remind you when to stop work, when to stop your break.
Do you use alarms?

One of the hardest things to do is looking at your life, finding out what’s not working and then letting it go.
What’s working in your life and what isn’t? One way to know if something isn’t working is that its HARD. While some things might be a bit harder in the beginning and just hard in general, things shouldn’t ALWAYS be hard to do. Things shouldn’t make you feel bad about yourself.
What’s working? What’s so easy and makes you feel awesome? Keep doing that!
It’s okay if you tried something and it didn’t work for you. Even if it worked for someone else! We don’t have to hold onto these just because someone else had success. We are all different people with different skills, life experiences, different everything!
Do you have trouble letting go of things not working in your life?
