ADHD How to Regulate Your Brain and Body
It often feels like your internal thermostat is broken. One minute you are focused and calm. The next, everything feels like it is happening at maximum volume. You are not failing at life. Your brain is simply processing the world with a different set of rules.
What is it?
Regulation is the ability to manage your energy and reactions. For an ADHD brain, this means balancing a nervous system that often swings between being totally over-stimulated or completely shut down.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The 'Science Bit' is about your prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain acts like a set of brakes. In an ADHD brain, those brakes are a bit thin. Your amygdala, which is the brain's alarm system, can take over very easily. This causes big feelings and 'brain fog' because your dopamine levels are not steady.
The Action Plan

Notice if you are holding your breath or breathing shallowly.
