We know how hard it is for ADHDers to meditate. We’ve been there. It’s boring, it’s frustrating, it’s mind-boggling. And yet, research shows that it’s really good for us. Getting things done is easier with a friend, even meditating.
Mindfulness helps to control and train our attention, increase self-awareness, regulate emotions, and lower anxiety and impulsivity.
Recent studies have shown that people with higher levels of awareness have higher levels of well-being and positive emotions.
This support group is for anyone who would like to learn more about the many benefits of mindfulness meditation. Additionally, we’ll provide support for establishing this life-changing habit and teach you how to meditate with ADHD.
For the meditation practice, we’ll be using the Waking Up App created by neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris. https://wakingup.com/

Mindfulness is a very simple practice of focusing on our breath, and bringing our attention back to it whenever our mind wanders. I call it “bicep-curls for the brain.” Sam Harris does an excellent job at providing guidance, and this app has worked wonders for me. There is additional high-quality content in the app that I regularly enjoy listening to. That said, there are many great meditation apps in the marketplace. I would encourage you to check them out and use what works best for you.
If you would like to try the Waking Up App, here’s a link for a free one-month subscription.
The yearly subscription costs $100 in the U.S. (in other regions, the price may differ). If you would like to use the app but truly cannot afford it, please request a free account. While the Waking Up App operates a business, they believe that money should never be the reason why someone can’t gain access to Waking Up.
