- doing Sun Salutation yoga sequence, either 1 time or N times -as long as i am willing to do that day-
- spend first 15 minutes of working hour with coffee and writing a short todo for that day into paper.
I cannot emphasise enough how doing mindful exercises -even 1 minute!- regularly in the morning helps with my ADHD.
But here is my ADHD trap:
I do yoga every morning, feel better, since i feel better stop doing them at some point because i don't think i need it. Downward spiral starts and i lost track of my ADHD.
I also have ADHD, one of the best thing i tried is doing a morning yoga (sun salutations) either 1 min, or 5 min (however i feel, same sequence repeating).
I think somewhat starting the day with mindful exercises helps greatly for rest of the day. I do this morning routine daily for a week, feel great. Then stop doing because i feel great, downward spiral starts. and start again.
Well, this should be the main hypothesis of QiGong/TaiChi/Yoga.
The "energy blockages" means the affects of the stress on the body. (tight shoulders, abs etc..) And some mindful streching exercises (like QiGong and Yoga) aims to release this tension on the body (hence the reverse the effect of the stress) and be "healthy"
Hi, i can relate to that due to my adhd related poor executive function, and lack of proper internal structuralisation (both organisational and time or task related)
Have you checked if you have adhd? In any case, it is always a good idea to get a professional help from both a psychologist and a psychiatrist if you can.
On the other hand, i recently start practicing tai-chi, it helps you to center and ground yourself, might not seem like a direct solution to those problems but definetely helps to have a centered and grounded psychological base to look around and yourself. (And i believe complex nature of the moves trains executive functioning)
can relate the post. but i wonder if what she/he defined is a "burnout" or just the result of the alienation?
no matter which execuses we find, we know that our job is meaningles. KPI's OKR's Jira tickets.. does not mean jackshit to our self.
I've jumped on programming/tech since i got my first computer, i loved how hacking/building something that works and learning new stuff along the way feels. But at the end of the day, this is just another white-collar job, some shits needs to be done, most of the time with coorporating with other people.
If the article defines burnout correctly, i think it is inevitable due to the alienation[]
Hi, my 2 cents: it does not matter what kinds of yoga or types of therapy at this stage. Find a good therapist, find a yoga/meditation and/or exercise that you can follow regularly. that's it. We like to think about oh CBT is better on my anxiety, but EMDR is better on my Trauma, hey yoga nidra is better but vipassana is more comprehensive etc. these are overthinking, our brain is doing this for a cheap dopamine shots. Start somewhere, do regularly. thats all.
