Why? Because although meditation for adults with ADHD sounds like a contradition in terms, it can be beneficial. Meditation does wonders to minimize the negative effects of ADHD.
It increases concentration:
- It decreases impulsivity.
- It increases cognitive functioning.
- It decreases mood swings.
- It decreases stress and anxiety.
- It promotes healthy sleep and self confidence.
When that happens, you feel happier, and more in control of your life. Plus the gifts of ADHD can shine brightly.So I want to share this great audio with you.
Yesterday my collegue Marcia Hoeck and I interviewed fellow Montrealer, Dr. Joe Flanders who specializes in Mindfulness Meditation. He explained how to use Mindful Meditation to your advantage when you are an adult with ADHD.
1) How easy it is.
2) The best time of day to practise it.
3) Why Mindful Meditation is so powerful, and the science behind it.
Dr. Joe uses the analogy of working out at a gym. Every time your brain jumps to another thought and you bring
it back, it is as though you have done a rep with your weights. This is a good thing. He also walks us through a 5-minute meditation so you can practise all the new tips straight away. So if you struggled with meditation in the past, with these simple yet powerful strategies you won’t anymore!!!

Hello, thanks for the article. Even as a psychology graduate I’ve been sceptical about the use of mindfulness as i don’t get how it was much different to just resting! I have been giving it a go lately though and feeling the benefits. The link no longer works or at least it doesn’t for me. Is there a chance of being sent a new one? Thanks very much!
