Reply To: Webinars – seeking advice for taming the ADD

[Patte Rosebank]

I find that I have to minimize the distractions as much as possible.

I plan ahead and set alarms, so I can (try to) finish whatever needs doing that might distract me from it, and so I’ll remember to log-in early.

I love the chat-feed, but if I don’t move it offscreen, I’ll get so involved in it that I’ll miss everything else.

If I’m really having trouble concentrating, I’ll turn off the lights in the room, dim the computer screen, and just focus on what Rick & the guest are saying.

When I’m feeling really fidgety, I need to get up and move around. And last night was one of those times.

I felt too restless to do the mindfulness exercise while sitting on the couch. So I stood up, and instinctively added the slow, graceful “port de bras” exercises I learned in ballet class when I was a kid. It worked so well for me, that I wonder if maybe we ADDers tend to do better with “kinetic” mindfulness exercises.
