Hey guys, welcome back tolanding in.
Perfect.
If you are new here.
Welcome.
If you're back then, I'm sograteful to have you here.
Once again.
(01:27):
Um, today I want to talk to youguys about ADHD, specifically
dopamine resilience andsetbacks.
This is something that's beenmore personal to me recently.
I've had some pretty stressfulsituations where, which ended up
creating some setbacks in mylife, specifically in.
Posting content on social mediaand I'm posting podcast
(01:52):
episodes.
I've been a little bit, um, onthe slacking side with that.
So.
I just wanted to kind of touchbase with you guys on this,
because I think that it could behelpful and it's things that
have been helpful for me.
And I wanted to talk a littlebit about dopamine first.
So dopamine isn't, it's aneurotransmitter that's in our
(02:12):
brain that isn't just aboutpleasure.
It's a neurotransmitter, that'splaying a role in motivation
reward and learning.
So for those of us who haveADHD, the dopamine pathways are
often less efficient.
So you can think of it as adimmer switch.
That's a little faulty.
So sometimes it's hard to getthat bright light of motivation,
(02:35):
especially for tasks that don'tprovide immediate gratification.
this is why we often gravitatetowards high dopamine
activities.
So those bursts of stimulationfeel good and they temporarily
boost our focus.
So, of course we're wanting toseek out those things, but
relying solely.
On these activities can create acycle of chasing the next
(02:57):
dopamine hit, which is leadingus to burnout and difficulty
focusing on long-term goals thatwe have.
So.
Like I said recently I have hada setback and setbacks are
inevitable.
We're all going to experiencethem.
They're just a part of life.
For ADHD people, they can feelreally devastating.
(03:17):
So there's a concept calledalpha static load.
And this does come into playwith people who have ADHD
specifically.
Um, well, not specifically otherpeople too, but definitely
people who have ADHD.
So Alice static load is justthat buildup of the wear and
tear on the body and the braindue to that chronic stress.
(03:37):
So for people who do have ADHD,that constant effort that's
required to manage our symptomscan contribute to a higher
alostatic load.
So this means that even minorsetbacks can push us over the
edge and it's leading to thisheightened, emotional
reactivity, and it's creating alot of difficulty for us to
bounce back from setbacks.
(03:59):
So it's important that we buildsome resilience in the face of
these challenges.
So we do need to understand thatresilience is it's not about
being invincible.
It's just about creating thosetools and having strategies to
be able to navigate thosechallenges.
And one of the most powerfultools that we have is
(04:19):
self-compassion.
And that's really hard for a lotof people to have that
self-compassion for themselves.
We're really great at beingcompassionate to other people,
but giving that same kind ofrespect and love for ourselves
can be very challenging.
And that holds true for peoplewho have ADHD, because we're
incredibly hard on ourselves.
(04:41):
So we have a tendency toruminate on our mistakes and
just engage in negative.
Self-talk.
But this is only exacerbatingthe problem.
Our brains are really good attrying to find evidence for the
things that we think.
So if we're constantly thinkingthat.
Oh, I really suck at this or I'msuch a failure.
I didn't do well in this.
(05:02):
Like, I'm just a terribleperson, blah, blah, blah,
whatever those ruminatingthoughts that you can have are
your brains going to startlooking at those things, even if
it's not true.
So moms are very good at, um,Kind of being very hard on
themselves and feeling like afailure, they just have a lot of
things on their plate.
So let's say, for example, youhave this tradition of doing a
(05:25):
certain.
Kind of thing to celebrate foryour child's birthday and it
wasn't perfectly executed thistime.
And then you're feeling likeyou're the worst mom in the
whole world, you know?
And the evidence is that yes,one thing is off and you're just
absolutely the worst mother thatever walked the face of this
planet.
Like it's, it's wild, but yourbrain is putting those pieces
(05:49):
together on like, oh, youweren't perfect there.
So you must not be the best momthere is.
Or you could definitely be abetter mom, It's just going to
exacerbate the problem of herruminating on I'm a bad mom, I'm
a bad mom, or, you know, it'screating a lot of these
problems, so just acknowledgingthat you are doing your best and
(06:10):
that making mistakes is anatural part of life and it is a
learning experience, but noteven that, like, it's just,
sometimes we are.
I mean, we're just not perfect.
Right?
Like we are going to makemistakes and it doesn't mean
that we're a bad mom or a badperson, you know, it just means
that life happens sometimes.
So trying to be compassionateand having some self-acceptance
(06:32):
that I'm not perfect.
And.
I am gonna, make those mistakes.
So.
It's also important that we'rebuilding some emotional
regulation.
Tools and skills too.
So this is where mindfulness andmeditation can be incredibly
helpful.
If you haven't tried it, I woulddefinitely suggest trying it.
(06:53):
YouTube has awesome meditations.
You can Google mindfulnessactivities a lot will pop up in
that area.
Something that's been reallyhelpful for me is breath work.
I just watched this guy called.
Breathe with Sandy on YouTube.
And there's so many on there.
And then I also have this, girl,Jamie.
(07:14):
I forget what her.
Instagram name is I think it'sbreath.
Or breathe with Jamie.
I don't know what it is, butI'll link it in there, but she
is awesome.
So I try to sign up for some ofher classes too.
So I would recommend meditating.
Journaling could be also veryhelpful.
Mindfulness activities and somebreath work too.
(07:36):
So these practices can help youbecome more aware of your
thoughts and your emotions,which is not always easy, but
it's just allowing us to be ableto respond to them in a more
balanced and controlled way.
So when you feel overwhelmed bythose setbacks, just take a
moment and pause and take acouple deep breaths and just
notice some of those physicalsensations in your body and
(07:57):
acknowledge the emotions thatare arising.
So this is just a simple act ofawareness that can help you
regain that sense of control andjust prevent you from spiraling
into those negative thoughtpatterns, what's also very
important and very helpful isjust building a supportive
environment.
So surrounding yourself withpeople who do understand and
(08:19):
accept you for who you are.
Hopefully it's family andfriends.
Maybe a coach or a therapist, orjust seeking out communities who
have, other people who haveADHD.
There's a lot of communities onFacebook, being here with me and
with us.
I think that's wonderful too.
Because I'll support the heckout of you.
(08:41):
You know, like I totally getwhat it's like, and it's, it's a
struggle, sometimes.
So we all have to kind of sticktogether and be there for each
other.
So if you have a tendency toprocrastinate, that is me by
far.
I have definitely had a tendencyto do that.
It's still something that I dostruggle with and I have to be
very mindful and intentionalabout.
(09:02):
But it's creating a system ofaccountability, which has been
very helpful for me.
So it's working with anaccountability partner or even
using time tracking apps thatcan be really helpful, but the
most helpful for me has just.
To be it's for me to be able tocheck in with someone and just
have someone hold meaccountable.
(09:24):
When it comes toprocrastinating.
And then.
I am.
Very big on trying to encouragethis because I need this in my
life to just this reminder ofcelebrating your successes.
Even if they're small.
So just it's reinforcing thepositive behaviors and it's
building momentum when we takethe time to acknowledge and to
(09:46):
celebrate.
Even the small wins.
Um, and we're.
I don't, I don't know if Ishould say very good, but we are
better at celebrating biggerwins things that feel.
You know, like, oh, this iswe're celebrating versus like
the smaller wins.
So I want to swing back totalking about dopamine.
So understanding how to managedopamine levels as crucial for
(10:09):
maintaining focus andmotivation.
Trying to avoid relying solelyon those high dopamine
activities that provide onlyshort-term gratification.
So instead.
Try focusing on the activitiesthat do promote sustained
dopamine release.
So those are things likeexercising.
Having a balanced meal, um, andjournaling stepping outside and
(10:31):
the sunlight sunlight is verygood at boosting our dopamine
levels as well.
Something, this is a challengethat I do want us to do this
week, and I hope that you'lljoin me on that.
I'm definitely going to do itbecause I've been sliding back
into this over the last week,and I can tell a difference and
how I'm feeling.
I have been immediately grabbingmy phone and scrolling on social
(10:52):
media, first thing in themorning time.
So that is something I'm veryaware of.
That is not helpful in here.
I am like sliding back into it.
So this week, just for thesenext seven days, I would love
for us to just have thatchallenge of doing things for an
hour before grabbing our phonesin the morning time.
So not checking emails.
(11:14):
For work or anything else notgoing on social media, but just
that first hour.
Either exercising, journaling,stepping outside.
If the weather's nice, gettingsome sunlight.
Doing something for that hourbefore grabbing your phone.
So I'm excited about that.
Um, I don't think it's going tobe that easy, but I'm definitely
(11:35):
going to try it and it'll bemore helpful to me if you guys
participate in that too, and wecan hold each other accountable.
So if it's just shooting me amessage on Instagram or Facebook
or wherever, letting me know howit's going, I would love to kind
of talk back and forth so we canhold each other accountable on
that.
So anyways, back to dopamine.
Exercise really is a fantasticway to boost open mean levels.
(11:57):
So I would even it's even ashort walk outside, so you don't
have to do any crazy lifting orcardio or anything like that.
Just take a nice brisk walkoutside, enjoy the scenery, the
weather.
And I think that it's a goodchallenge to do these things in
the morning time, too.
I think trying to be as mindfulas we can in the early morning
(12:18):
hours.
can only help our productivity.
So if we're wasting a lot of ourmorning hours on activities that
are depleting, our mental energyand social media absolutely is
one of those ones for me.
Then we are just settingourselves up for failure during
the day.
so just trying to prioritizeactivities that are going to set
(12:39):
us up for success.
I want us to remember that itreally is a journey.
It's not a destination.
So there will be times when youfeel like you're taking two
steps forward and one step back.
That is okay.
That happens to all of us.
That is a part of the game.
Like we're all going toexperience that.
So please, don't be hard onyourself.
(13:00):
Just know that that is going tohappen and just keep moving
forward, just learning andgrowing from those little
setbacks, little or big,whatever it is, and just keep
pushing forward.
And then don't forget to ask forhelp too.
It's so important, you know, ifyou're really struggling to kind
of manage some of these thingsor you're feeling kind of how I
(13:20):
was back in the fall, where Ihad so much stress and managing
our stress is very important, SoI was not managing mine very
well, and I ended up fallinginto burnout, which took me just
a lot longer to recover fromthan I would have liked.
So I wish I would have kind ofreached out for some help a lot
sooner than what I had.
(13:42):
but like I said, setbacks.
Building that resilience andjust not being hard on myself
about it.
It was a learning experience forme.
Okay.
So this week, We are all goingto.
Well, those of us who want to,and I hope we all do to
participate in the challenge ofseven days.
For the first hour, the nextseven days, we're going to wake
(14:02):
up and we're going to dosomething that is mindful, like
exercising or journaling,stepping outside, um, getting
some sunlight and just having abalanced breakfast.
Doing some of those thingsbefore grabbing our phones,
checking our emails, all ofthose things and check in with
me because I would love to hear,how it's going for you.
(14:23):
All right.
Well, it's been, it's beenwonderful as always, and I'll

are depleting, our mental energyand social media absolutely is
one of those ones for me.
Then we are just settingourselves up for failure during
the day.
so just trying to prioritizeactivities that are going to set
(12:39):
us up for success.
I want us to remember that itreally is a journey.
It's not a destination.
So there will be times when youfeel like you're taking two
steps forward and one step back.
That is okay.
That happens to all of us.
That is a part of the game.
Like we're all going toexperience that.
So please, don't be hard onyourself.
(13:00):
Just know that that is going tohappen and just keep moving
forward, just learning andgrowing from those little
setbacks, little or big,whatever it is, and just keep
pushing forward.
And then don't forget to ask forhelp too.
It's so important, you know, ifyou're really struggling to kind
of manage some of these thingsor you're feeling kind of how I
(13:20):
was back in the fall, where Ihad so much stress and managing
our stress is very important, SoI was not managing mine very
well, and I ended up fallinginto burnout, which took me just
a lot longer to recover fromthan I would have liked.
So I wish I would have kind ofreached out for some help a lot
sooner than what I had.
(13:42):
but like I said, setbacks.
Building that resilience andjust not being hard on myself
about it.
It was a learning experience forme.
Okay.
So this week, We are all goingto.
Well, those of us who want to,and I hope we all do to
participate in the challenge ofseven days.
For the first hour, the nextseven days, we're going to wake
(14:02):
up and we're going to dosomething that is mindful, like
exercising or journaling,stepping outside, um, getting
some sunlight and just having abalanced breakfast.
Doing some of those thingsbefore grabbing our phones,
checking our emails, all ofthose things and check in with
me because I would love to hear,how it's going for you.
