Description

What if I told you there’s a free, 10-second tool that can help calm your ADHD brain, reduce stress, support sleep, improve mood, and build emotional resilience?

In today’s video, we’re talking about gratitude practice for ADHD brains—and not the unrealistic, perfectionistic version you may have been told to do. I’ll walk you through simple, practical ways to make gratitude accessible, doable, and actually helpful for ADHD nervous systems.

We’ll cover:
 ➤ Why traditional gratitude practices can feel hard for ADHD
 ➤ How to make gratitude present through savoring
 ➤ Why verbal or kinesthetic processing may work better than writing lists
 ➤ Easy, ADHD-friendly ways to remember gratitude
 ➤ Using gratitude to help with sleep
 ➤ How a Ta-Da List gives you all the benefits without the pressure

Gratitude doesn’t have to be deep, profound, or perfect- just to be practiced. And when you approach it in ADHD-friendly ways, it can truly change the way you move through your day.

💛 If you’re diagnosed later in life with ADHD and want practical support, tools, and coaching, you can learn more at my website.
