Did you know that you can create flow states with sensory anchoring? Sensory anchoring means using a specific smell, texture, or sound to train your brain into different modes. For example, I create sensory anchors for getting into "focus mode" when I need to work by keeping a cedar block on my desk. When I'm ready to work, I smell the cedar block, turn on some medieval lo-fi music, set a pomodoro timer, and get to it. Now my brain associates medieval lo-fi and the smell of cedar with "It's time to lock in and get work done!" Have you tried sensory anchoring before?

When life's got you down, what are your go-to ways of getting through it?

Of course, there is no one solution that works for all. But there is one, that works surprising well for a lot of folks with ADHD. And that is body doubling. If you haven't heard of it so far: you basically meet (virtually or in person doesn't matter) with other people for a work session. Everybody states what they are going to work on and then it's quiet work time, until the session is done (or, if it is a longer session, there might be a short check-in in between). The accountability that comes from having told others what you gonna do, plus knowing that they are there, seeing you, helps incredibly well to make you actually do the work. It's the single most effective strategy for me to get things done. Other strategies are also good, but nothing beats the body doubling for me. And as it happens, this skool community offers exactly that. During the week, there are two time slots for body doubling, called "Eat the Frog" sessions. If you haven't tried it before, don't be shy and join! All you have to do is think about a task you want to work on for the session, and then join and have the group holding you accountable for actually doing it. Just go to the calendar section, there you will find the links to join. I personally am joining the early morning group (although it's afternoon for me), and we have a nice little community vibe going there with @James Sopp, @Venessa Phipps, @Sarah Hyland, @Angela Walker, @Alfred Samuel, and me. Of course, we do not all show up all the time, depending on availability. It's not a *must*, it's a *may*! We would love to have some more people joining! The later session is great, too! Don't be shy, give it a try! Next sessions are on Monday. Add it to your calendar, so you don't miss it. See you there.

What I learned today is that, you don’t have to learn something new every day. Today I relaxed from a night of hosting and dancing. Sometimes life gets too be 100% play and play I did. Here’s to living in the greatest time of human history 🍻 Grateful to be alive with you all.

Hello Hello lovely people I'm Anete - Holistic Therapist, yogi, mum, avid romantasy reader & book dragon (I collect pretty books but don't always read them). I'm also a founder of ADHD Emotional Regulation Club here on Skool. I joined this group because it's for ADHDers and I'm new to skool. So interesting to see how things work here and maybe learn something to help me too. Biggest challenge for my business is marketing and not for the lack of tools or knowledge but really understanding what works for my clients you know? I'm not a typical coach so I tried marketing for coaches and it didn't work. So now I'm going to try a different approach using YT and blogs and see how that goes. Back to original question - any book dragons here? :)
