The real causes of ADHD are still unknown. Researchers have tried to link the problem with genetic disorders or improper functioning of the brain chemicals though. A pregnant woman living her life on a poor diet or bad lifestyle can transfer ADHD in her unborn child. As stated by the experts from the well know National Institute of Mental Health, ADHD is a type of neurobiological disorder. The disease is already on the rise. If we go by the facts and figures revealed by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health, around 2 million children in the U.S itself and almost the same percentage of children in Canada are reported to have diagnosed with ADHD. 

Anyway, what we term as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not an unmanageable condition. With willpower and a right guidance, you can beat the ADHD symptoms and start living a balanced life. We all know, life is never so easy. And with that in mind, you have to take it just as another difficult phase of life. Never ever think of holding yourself back. You’ve to keep trying and fight the challenges with some effective strategies. 

You might expect to experience an extreme level of frustration during this time. As people with this type of problem face trouble in following instructions or directions, organization, keeping track of a conversation, controlling emotions and anger, feelings like disappointments are bound to appear. However, we would like to share a few tips that you can try to implement and wait to see a difference:

Ask for Help From Your Best Companion

As the level of disappointment is bound to increase at this time, you need a mental boost. Tell your friends to send your alert messages or email you the scheduled tasks as a help. 

Maintain An Event Calender

It’s best to note down or mark every important task or event on the calendar. Use Sticking Note Pad on Bathroom MirrorThe moment you wake up and stand in front of the bathroom mirror to freshen up, you will notice the sticker and so the notes.  

Don’t Overstress Yourself

Don’t make promises to over-deliver. You should take minimum stress to handle your mood. 

Avoid Negative Energy

If you think the company of a few types of people makes you uncomfortable, get rid of them.  

Meditation for Anger Management

We bet you’re going to like it. It’s an awesome method to calm your mind and increase mental focus. It might take you some time to make meditation a daily habit, but at last you’ll see unbelievable results.

Set a Reminder in Your Mobile

Your aim should be managing things in a best possible way you can. So if you think a reminder on your mobile can help you perform the tasks set by their priority, go for it.   

Get Lots of Sleep

Sleep is very important for a healthy mind. A tired overworked brain can show symptoms of attention deficit or worsen the symptoms of ADHD.  Sleep also regulates the brain chemicals indirectly. So it’s important that you give some rest to your mind.

Never underestimate Your Diet

If you’re pregnant, take a special care of your diet so that your unborn child does not become a victim of ADHD. When you’re not on a proper diet, your mind does not get the necessary nutrients and energy and therefore shows poor performance level. 

Develop the Habit of Recording

If you think you often lose track of an important conversation during a meeting, use a recorder and record the whole session so you don’t lose the important details because of the typical symptoms of ADHD.    

Do you know what’s the best way to fight an unfavorable situation. To fight a problem or unfavorable situation, know it as closely as possible. That way you will at least know what are common difficulties that a person with ADHD might have to deal with. In addition, also try to learn the strategies or ways to best handle the situation. That’s of course the task of an ADHD coach. If you’re diagnosed with ADHD, ask your psychologist what are the possible symptoms one might expect in this case.

 An ADHD coach is an expert and has developed a specific skill set over a certain period of time. He/she uses his expertise to build the best coaching model matching closely to the requirement of the patient. A coach provides the life support that helps a patient deal with the situation in his/her day to day life and bring back some moments in life until unless the situation is taken care of permanently by a therapist. After taking a consulting session with a patient, a coach designs a certain course of action and the patient is asked to follow the pattern to manage their daily tasks. So, it’s best to seek the expert help of the ADHD coaches to live a balanced life. 

To your Success and Happiness!

Stress is an everyday reality for us in the present times and life coaching can deliver a lot in helping us deal with stress. Today’s life is extremely demanding. What with workplace pressure, parenthood, commuting hassles, etc. our lives are constantly under stress from different quarters. It is therefore not unusual for us to feel pent up at times. However, stress is rather harmful when it becomes a continuous affair. A lot of the present day lifestyle diseases are directly a result of excess stress in our lives. Hence it is important to look at stress management seriously. In certain circumstances the amount of stress in our lives become too much to handle and we end up feeling lost. It is best to seek professional life coaching in such cases to help deal with the situation quickly and effectively.

Why do you Need Professional Life Coaching to Manage Stress

In everyday situations, it may not be so unusual for you to deal with stress and still keep going strong. We all deal with our stress at some level or the other. However when it becomes an integral part of your everyday existence, when it starts to badly affect your work and personal life, it becomes important that you let a professional handle the situation. In such cases if you continue to evade seeking professional help, the problem has every chance of getting aggravated and causing mental trauma or depression from inability to deal with it. International studies have shown that life coaching helps reduce stress levels (57.1%) and leads to a more balanced life (60.5%).

Essentials About Dealing With Stress

The basic premise of stress is anxiety and pondering over the past or future. It is very common to develop stress through pondering too much about what went wrong and how you could have probably stopped it from happening. This could be about discontinuing your diet, your exercise program, not being able to give time to your kid and so on.The continuous self reproach gradually weakens you and makes you feel bad about yourself for not having handled a situation better and also instills fear in you of your inability to deal with similar situations in future. Thereafter you start being anxious with how things might turn out in future and with passing time, the anxiety and fear might get a grip on you unless conscious efforts are made to shake them off. The easiest way to deal with stress is probably to dwell in the present and taking one thing at a time without getting too anxious about the “what if”s. However it is easier said than done when it concerns your own life, its problems and fears.

Life coaching sessions help you get past your regrets from the past, the anxiety for future and help you to focus on the present, thereby relieving stress. Hence seeking professional help is advisable when you feel that stress is becoming an everyday issue that you are finding difficult to deal with. Once you have realized and taken action by seeking expert help, the chances are very high that you will be able to get past stress issues pretty soon.

Whether it is your work, your relationship, your family or your passion, you are driven by your thoughts and perceptions. To make sure that your actions are fruitful and results in your personal growth you need your thoughts to be positive and also have strong faith on your belief system. The outside world might offer other or negative takes of what you believe in, but if your belief system is strong enough they will not be able to sway you from your path. You will keep on repeating to yourself about the positives of your thought process and belief system and the story that you wish to make out of it. The more you reiterate your beliefs to yourself, the stronger it becomes. Once you have a strong belief system it steels your mindset and helps you put in the action that you require for your desired personal growth.  It may so happen that you get influenced by external thought processes and suddenly start doubting your goals, your conviction, etc. It is vital to not be swayed by negative thoughts or opinions that weigh you down.
