Help yourself by helping others. When you see somebody who needs help, offer to do what they need. This will help your vision of yourself. You are strong and caring. Others depend on you.

After a tip for living well with ADD has been viewed for awhile, it is time to put up another tip. When the new tip goes up, the old tip will be merged into this thread.

You will be able to see all of the previous tips by coming to this thread.

Find one area that bothers you about yourself; then change it.

I have a quick temper, and the way I was raised was punitive. I did not want to get angry with my students and say hurtful things. I wanted to be positive. So, I make sure that I say positive and caring things to them.

Contrary to what many people think, this does not come naturally to me. It is a choice that I consciously make every day when I am with other people. This is particularly true for my students.

Do I sometimes have to tell them things that they don't want to hear? Absolutely, yes! I try to be blunt, plain spoken, but not unkind or cruel. We try to find solutions together. Try kindness and offer hope!

Fight your stress with pleasure. Everybody has different activities that they find relaxing. Identify yours. Plan to do these activities, then actually take the time to do them.

I enjoy giving our pets attention. Sometimes the lovebirds aren't a good stress reliever. This is especially true when they try to cut paper strips from a paper that I'm grading. However, there are times when they are flying together, that it just pulls the stress right off of me! They are so free!

The cats are great to pet.

Digging in and doing a job that needs to get done is an excellent way to relieve stress. Especially if having that undone chore hanging over your head is helping to cause the stress!

Choose three things that are complicating your life. They need to be things that you can do something about. Now, which one is causing you the most distress? Make a plan to handle that problem. Use your creativity and persistence to get that one thing under control. Make sure that you consider your roadblocks to success and how you will go around them.

Once you have gotten the one thing under control, go to the next most problematic thing that is complicating your life. Repeat the process.

After you have gotten your top three things under control, then spend some time just keeping the flow going. After the new patterns are well-established, take on one new problem at a time.

Know that getting rid of things that complicate your life can be difficult. Sometimes the path to getting your life in order zigs and zags. That's okay, There is value in the journey, not just in the destination.
