As a parent of two ADHD adults and as a professional organizer who has ADHD clients, I participated in both realms. I was exhausted. I was exhilarated. I was challenged. And ultimately, I was inspired.<\/p>\n<p>Mindfulness practice can help ADHD clients slow down, be present, and pay attention to &#8220;where am I now?&#8221; \u00a0&#8220;where do I want to be next?&#8221; and &#8220;what do I do to get there?&#8221; Mindfulness practice can help ADHD clients establish new habits of behavior, emotions, and thoughts. But it&#8217;s not a panacea. If you don&#8217;t actually PRACTICE mindfulness techniques, you will not get to the next steps\u2014intentionally addressing behaviors that undermine your success and creating new behaviors that help you get past being &#8220;a square peg in a round hole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The leader of the retreat, Dr. Lidia Zylowska, has published a *book and CD called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/lidiazylowska.com\/book\/\">the Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD<\/a><\/em>.
