I emphasize the importance of slowing down to improve executive functioning and offer practical strategies to interrupt the cycle of rushing (yes it's a cycle and we are trapped in it!) We go over the three levels of rushing—physical, mental, and impatience—and highlight the need for self-awareness and mindfulness in making changes. I'm excited to see what you notice if you choose to practice these shifts this week! Takeaways Rushing is a major issue for ADHDers (even though a lot of the time it can feel helpful). It signals danger to the nervous system, causing dysregulation! Rushing skews our perception of time and creates a scarcity mindset. There are three levels of rushing: physical, mental, and impatience. Challenging the belief of 'not enough time' is crucial. You can achieve more by doing less when regulated.
