👇🏼P.O.I.N.T. Explained Pure Grit only got me so far with keeping my cool and was not working especially after long days and low ADHD capacity days. I worked with what I’ve learned about my nervous system to develop a simple reminder for myself my kids and my clients to help them to self regulate in a way that worked with what we understand about ADHD. P- Pause, ADHD brains really struggle with inhibition and come off explosive or impulsive, learning how to create a pause between the trigger and the reaction (which I didn’t fully demonstrate perfectly in this video) is essential for regaining choice over our actions. O- Out of brain: when we are triggered we tend to be in the one place that is the least regulated with all kinds of unproductive thoughts and narratives swarming us, our brain. This fight and flight response is there to keep us alive in life or death situations but rarely what we are responding to is actually that extreme. I- Into Our body: Our body gives us many clues as to what big emotions we are actually feeling the strongest. I like to notice where the most intense energy is vibrating in my body and then allow it to be there- sometimes it is helpful for me to name the emotion that I find in my body. N- Nurture: after I have found that big emotion and allowed it to exist it’s important I remind my body that it is actually safe and well and doing a good job at trying to protect me but we are not actually in danger. I tell myself I am allowed to have big emotions and that now I get to choose what I’d like to do with them. T- Turn to Love: once I have regulated myself enough to choose to act I turn my gaze to the overall concept/emotion of unconditional love and let that fuel my next choice. #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdsupport #adhdregulation #adhdbrain #adhdemotions #emotionalregulation #emotionaldisregulation #emotionalintelligence #adhdcoach #adhdcoaching #masteryouremotions #adultadhd #angerissues #angermanagement #ldslifecoach #selfregulation #traumahealing #traumarecovery #traumainformedcoaching #adhdtools #adhdhacks #adhdmom #adhdparenting #adhdbusinessowners #adhdinwomen #kamdenadhd

My hair routine is usually 3-4 days before a full hair wash again. Having a good go to dry shampoo to freshen up my look without making it look even more greesy is hard to find! Not to mention the transitions of actually getting into the shower can feel burdensome with ADHD somedays. This trio has me covered and is nearly HALF off what you find in the stores for my hair matience needs! 🤫 I’ll often also use my dry shampo for volume to avoid the crunch if hairspray. #dryshampoo #livingproof #haircareroutine #adhdlife #threedayhair #hairstrengthening #haircare #tiktokshopfinds

More than half off until Feb 8! Grab one now while they last! With ADHD we are always looking for a more efficient process and WOW this was FAST! HACK: I do my makeup for 5 minutes while my THICK hair airdrys a bit before blowdrying and this took my hair to completely dry in 3 minutes flat! LOVE! It took my really wet hair only 5 short minutes to completely dry and I’ve got a lot of hair! #adhdlife #efficiency #haircareroutine #latediagnosisadhd #tiktokshopping #highspeedhairdryer #tideway #viralproducts #thickhairtips #thickhairproblems #morningroutine #ADHDHack #momof4 #giftsformom #galentines #morningroutines #hairdryer #viralhairdryer

Being with my Dad this weekend in San Diego was so fun. We were so innovative together- created, built and brainstormed together. I saw how our minds went to work to troubleshoot, think through and problem solve in ways that were very non-linear and pretty awesome. It's always a good day for more self acceptance, understanding and realization. And there are moments of accomplishment and creation that are exhilarating and just plain awesome. I've been blessed with a pretty amazing family. Learning how to take all of our brains, strengths and flaws and work them together to create lasting relationships takes work and I'm thankful for progress, forgiveness, understanding and love that continue to pull us through. #adhdlife #adhdadult #latediagnosisadhd #adhdcreative #adhdprojects #fatherdaughter #adhdcoaching #sandiego #weekendaway #lamesa #glampingtent #diy #powertools #adhdadvocate #adhdhelp #adhdmom
