adult adhd.

We all have a bit of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder, or throw some "H"ypertension in there for some of you) in us. I know I do, daily.

Author and Dr. Lidia Zylowska introduces her 8-step program in her self-help book, The Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD: An 8-Step Program for Strengthening Attention, Managing Emotions, and Achieving Your Goals.

I have been testing out some of her strategies when I begin to daydream about my manfriend rather than focus on the task at hand....educating America's youth. They have really been helping a lot.
