One of the biggest challenges that we as ADDers face is being able to focus and concentrate. Here are 5 easy things you can do to help increase your focus:
1. Get a good night’s sleep. 6, 8, or more hours – whatever you need. Remember, it’s the time you sleep, not the amount of time spent in bed. (ADDers aren’t so good at falling asleep quickly!)
2. Keep yourself (and your brain) well hydrated. That means water throughout the day – every hour or so. And no, Diet Coke doesn’t count.
3. Have some protein, preferably something healthy. Big Macs must have protein, but I can’t imagine they would help your brain nearly as much as a lean chicken breast.
4. Have some peppermint. It has been shown that peppermint helps your mind stay clear and focused. I would go for one of those strong peppermints or natural peppermint oil for aromatherapy.
5. Move! Even if you’re tied to a desk in school and can’t get up and wander, you can stretch your arms and legs and roll your head. Moving works off a little excess energy, which will help you concentrate, and gives your brain a little break, which it needs every now and then.
Well, i have a friend who has this kind of syndrome.He is a nice person actually, He told me he has ADD…he is a frequent talker..he talks much.But he sounds so sincere.He anticipates things..that sometimes its being too much realistic already.I enjoy his company.. but as i observed his being focus has positive points.I learned a lot from him…his mind is so good.Its just sometimes ..its too much thinking…i could say they have beautiful mind!
