ADHD: How to Help With Focus and Break the Brain Fog
It feels like there is a thick glass wall between you and your work. You want to start, but you just can't move. You are not lazy or broken. Your brain is simply waiting for the right signal to engage.
What is it?
Focus is the ability of your brain to prioritize one thought over a thousand others. For most people, it feels like a steady beam of light. For you, it might feel more like a searchlight in a storm.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the brain's manager. It relies on dopamine to prioritize tasks and ignore distractions. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often lower or inconsistent. This makes 'boring' tasks feel physically painful because your brain is starving for stimulation.
