1. Ditch the negative self-talk, recognize when that little voice inside is beating you up, and take charge of it.  Dismiss those negative thoughts and move forward.
   
2. Focus on what you are good at, don’t spend time putting a square peg into a round hole.  You don’t have to be good at everything. (Refer to #1 above if needed.)
3. Play to you strengths and delegate what you are bad at to others, you will find more time to do what you are good at, and be more productive.
4. Have a social life, stay in contact with friends and go out for some fun.
5. Exercise is one of the best ways to manage ADHD.  Get a work out in everyday and watch your focus and sleep improve.
6. Get a hobby, find an outlet for your creative side.
7. Set time limits on decisions, don’t let the process drag out.

I wish you success!

When I make the effort, and it can be an effort, to get myself to the gym and exercise for just 30 minutes, it makes a tremendous difference in my attitude and my ability to get things done.

I have found that exercising in the morning works best for me, but find a time that works best for you.  Afternoons have always been my most productive time, so doing some cardio exercises in the morning helps give me more focus in the afternoon.

According to WebMD, when you exercise, your brain releases chemicals called neurotransmitters, including dopamine, which helps with attention and clear thinking. People with ADHD often have less dopamine then usual in their brain.

Fitness can have the following benefits for adults with ADHD:

• Ease stress and anxiety
• Improve impulse control and reduce compulsive behavior
• Enhance working memory
• Improve executive function
