Healthy Happy ADHD Quotes

“exercise is one of the most effective nonpharmaceutical treatments for ADHD. Think of it this way: Adderall, one of the most popular medications for ADHD treatment, and similar stimulants improve focus and reduce impulsivity by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. You know what else increases dopamine and norepinephrine levels? Exercise.”

“You will no longer be following habits just because they are important. You will be following them because they help you become the future self you’ve imagined and it feels good to move toward that future. Because it feels good (giving you a boost of dopamine), it becomes easier to choose your future self over your past self. And transformation happens when you keep choosing your future self over your past self.”

“You can make changes to your external world and your busy schedule, move more, and eat well, but you won’t resolve the core problems that affect your quality of life unless you stop seeing yourself as the enemy. You are not flawed or broken. Your body and brain are not letting you down or attacking you. Everything they have been doing has arisen from a desire to protect you and help you survive your current circumstances. Badgering yourself about all the ways in which you’re not good enough or treating yourself like a problem to solve only keeps your body in a heightened state of stress. You’ll be more successful at breaking free of the vicious cycle if you’re doing it because you love and care for yourself rather than because you believe you need to fix yourself.”
