5. Meditation
Meditation has profound effects on the mind and entire body. Its positive effects have been validated on multiple occasions. Regular meditation creates changes within the brain that aid concentration and enhance feelings of wellbeing. Meditation can make the brain more receptive to learning and facilitate the retention of knowledge.
Even young children can be taught how to meditate. It is an outstanding therapy for individuals who suffer from impulsivity. Meditation is sometimes used in educational settings to help children calm down so that they can better focus on learning. It aids self-esteem and helps people to feel like they “belong.” This is important because many individuals who have ADHD feel “different” or isolated.
There are many different ways of treating ADHD without meds, examples include lifestyle and dietary changes to building a routine.
