As a Person with ADHD:
- first thing i do is drinking big glass of water
- doing Sun Salutation yoga sequence, either 1 time or N times -as long as i am willing to do that day-
- spend first 15 minutes of working hour with coffee and writing a short todo for that day into paper.
I cannot emphasise enough how doing mindful exercises -even 1 minute!- regularly in the morning helps with my ADHD.
But here is my ADHD trap:
I do yoga every morning, feel better, since i feel better stop doing them at some point because i don't think i need it. Downward spiral starts and i lost track of my ADHD.

- laxmin 2y agoI am on the spectrum and Yoga helps me a lot to get grounded. I thought it is just a personal thing and was afraid I would be ridiculed if I said it helps, even in support groups. I am not alone, nice to know.
- lexoj 2y agoCan you give some examples of mindful exercises that are short?
- curmudgeon22 2y ago4-7-8 breathing or similar is a nice option (breath in 4 seconds, hold 7 seconds, out 8 seconds). I find 2 minutes helps you get into it more than 1. Journaling for for 1-2 minutes is also pretty useful.
