37: the one about a dopa menu
Listen now
Description
If ADHD is more about losing interest and motivation than it is about attention and concentration what does that mean for living with ADHD? Everyone uses dopamine for motivation, experiencing pleasures and rewards, but it works differently in ADHD brains.  Understanding our dopamine differences and what our options are can help us on one level--to feel good and have more fun, on another it could be life-changing to be able to know what to do when we need more dopamine to get and stay motivated or ways to deal with being overstimulated. We are going to explore the idea of a dopa menu, popularized by Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD and Eric Tivers of ADHD reWired.  Moira shares extra tips, ideas, and strategies for creating your own dopa menu.   Sign up to Patreon to get exclusive content, early access to episodes, monthly group coaching calls, and more:https://www.patreon.com/adhdfriendlylifestyle
