Rewiring Our ADHD Brains to Form Healthier and Sustainable Habits
Neuroscience has become a recent fascination of mine as it explains so much about our ADHD brain and the many traits, tendencies, and behaviours that come along for the ride. The more we understand our beautiful yet complex neurobiology, the more empowered we are to make sustainable and manageable changes to better enhance our lives.
So, I'm delighted to welcome this week's guest, Nicole Vignola, a neuroscientist, author, consultant, and brain performance coach, to the podcast.
Nicole's first book, Rewire: Your Neurotoolkit for Everyday Life, will be published in May 2024. Pre-orders are available now.
On today's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Nicola speak about:
- The science behind meditation
- The brain's negativity bias
- The function of the brain's 'DMN' AND 'TPN'
- How self-interruptions affect our daily life
- The power of meditation for emotional regulation
- Nicole's tips for feeling more calm and positive
- Feeling more self-aligned
- The damaging effects of your phone and social media
- Ways to be more mindful of your phone usage
- Understanding dopamine better
- The life-changing benefits of a healthier sleep routine
- How hydrating first thing can be essential for the ADHD brain
- How visualising works in the brain and how it can improve our habits
- Aphantasia and learning how to visualise
