Redefining Habits for ADHD Management

The concept of habits is often misperceived as automatic and effortless, particularly for adults with ADHD. The discussion emphasizes that forming habits should not be equated with ease; rather, it involves making conscious decisions daily. An example shared is the struggle with implementing habits related to self-care, such as remembering to take medication or eat healthy meals, which often require deliberate efforts and reminders. Shifting the focus from creating rigid habits to recognizing the necessity of daily choices helps to alleviate the pressure and acknowledges the inherent challenges faced by those with ADHD.
