stop workplace burn out with ADHD
Practicing mindfulness with an ADHD brain and a busy schedule isn’t always the easiest thing. This workplace rescue kit helps you find the micro-practices that work for you, especially when your longer practices are not accessible . £15 → Get instant access
I’m feeling good this week, there’s lots of exciting stuff on my radar and if you follow me on Linkedin, you’d have seen that I’m making the move into teaching my mindfulness with ADHD method in corporate environments.
This is going to make my services more accessible as they will be funded by organisations rather than individuals and there will be more opportunity to work with groups as it’s reported every 3 out of 10 people in the workplace have ADHD. (I reckon it’s much higher.)
The newsletter this week is about micro-practices as I’m speaking about them non stop right now.
Many ADHD brains crash in the workplace because they have no regulation tools to help them during small moments of need.
Maybe they have a morning meditation practice yet the moment they get to work and face a scattered to-do list, overstimulation and a handful of micro rejections, they’re back into survival mode.
They’ve had a difficult meeting and instead of being able to switch off and transition into the next task, they're still carrying the heavy load and the body is now full of tension.
If they were in a quiet environment or had space in their schedule, they know that they'd able to meditate as it provides them that relief in the morning however, this is not an option and therefore they have nothing to settle their mind and bring themselves back into the moment
The mindfulness method I've created helps you in the moments when your bigger regulation methods are not accessible, like grounding yourself in the here & now now and being able to continue with your day.
When you don't have these tools you're more likely to experience burn out because you're leaving work frazzled every single day and the mental battle leaves you exhausted.
After a workday, you find at home you're not present with your family, you don't want to eat good food, you end up scrolling or drinking and not doing your hobbies that make you feel great meaning that the next day you go to work, you haven't indulged in the things that give you energy and bring you joy.
Again, spending time frazzled at work with a reduction of the things that recharge you is draining you towards burnout.
I’m curious, how do you regulate in the workplace?
Perhaps you’ll leave a comment or reply to this email to let me know. I read & reply to every response.
The goal isn’t to silence the mind, rather to have a selection of tried & tested tools that work for you across a number of varying scenarios.
The more you practice them, the more of a habit they become & then you’ll be close to them happening by default.
Having something to plug in between transitions and centre yourself during a moment of need is an invaluable thing to learn.
Rather than becoming consumed by something in the past or future, you’ve now got a bunch of tools that help you find your way back.
If any of this is resonating and you’d like to explore whether the mindfulness with ADHD model I’ve created could work for you… reply to this email with ‘Mindful’ and I’ll share a bit about how it’s helping the other professionals who use it.
You might not know but all my services come with a money back promise. If you do the work consistently and still see no benefits, I have no shame in giving your money back.
Speak soon,
Jack
