“Creating the barrier between the emotion and the response will help us recognize the emotion when it comes and allow us to step back and choose a response different from the usual.”
― Abigail Shepard, Chaos to Calm: Cleaning and Organizing with ADHD: Simple Ways To: Boost Productivity, Eliminate Clutter, Harness your Hyper-Focus, Create Lifelong Habits and Empower your ADHD Mindset

“Mindfulness focuses on taking our attention away from something emotionally stimulating and anchoring our mind to something else happening in the present moment, for instance, our breathing or what we can feel around us. It emphasizes the importance of considering our impulses before we act them out, as well as converting self-damaging thoughts into positive ones.”
