Why Our Minds Wander

In ADHD, the Default Mode Network (DMN)—the part of the brain that daydreams and worries—refuses to turn off when you try to work. Mindfulness is the practice of training your "Focus Pilot" to take the wheel back.

The ADHD Reframe: Mindfulness is NOT "Having a quiet mind." If you have ADHD, your mind will never be "Quiet." Mindfulness IS "Noticing your mind has wandered and coming back."

Over time, this strengthens the "Bridge" between your emotions and your actions, helping you pause before you shout or spend money.
