Mindfulness
Mindfulness has been around for centuries, but many of us in the Western world are only just catching up with its benefits. Mindfulness can help you manage thoughts to reduce internal distractions. The Calm App and Headspace App can talk you through how to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness can be a useful technique for managing distractions. It has many forms of practice, but they are all intended to improve our awareness of where our attention is, notice any urges to get distracted, or that we have already got distracted, and then let go of this and return to the intended focus. Have a look into local courses, there are many around in local community centres, colleges, sports centres.
There are also loads of resources on the internet, for example: http://www.freemindfulness.org/download This has lots of MP3 files you can listen to.
There are mindfulness apps which you can use on your phone to help you to incorporate mindfulness into your day to day life.
We have recommended a book on mindfulness and ADHD at the end of this book.
