Adult ADHD / ADD Coaching Strategies

How to Survive The Holidays with Adult ADD / ADHD

The holidays and adult ADD / ADHD can be a painful mix.

We’re overwhelmed by day to day living as it is. Suddenly, December rolls around to burden us with a cartload of extra tasks and activities.

Worse yet, we expect ourselves to juggle it all with style and an even temperament.

It’s torture. At least for me and most of my ADD coaching clients.

No matter how many lists we make or how organized we are, it’s still too much.

Other than huddle in a fetal position in a corner, what can you do?

To Survive the Holidays With Adult ADD / ADHD – Simplify and Focus

Cut out the extra stuff; the things you do because you feel you should.

Instead, center your holidays on the people and things that bring you joy and meaning.

Yes, it can be difficult to let go of the shoulds. But, if you have ADD you probably have a reputation for being eccentric as it is. Revel in it.

Simplifying and focusing to create a holiday that’s meaningful to you is the secret of surviving the holidays successfully if you have Adult ADD / ADHD.
