Feeling overwhelmed?
🌀 Try anchoring: notice one thing you can see, hear, touch, or smell to bring you back to the moment. 🧘‍♀️

Tiny reset = big impact. What’s your go-to anchor? 👇

Brain stuck in a chaotic loop after a hectic event? 😵‍💫 That's me. My ADHD was NOT having it. Thankfully, I remembered Balance app's Deep Focus Single. Serious game-changer. Popped in earbuds, and actually focused. A mental reset button. Anyone else have go-to focus hacks? #ADHDLife #Focus #Balance
