18. Your Environment and ADHD

Today I talk about your environment and how it can affect your ADHD. How are your surroundings impacting you? Is that affecting your weight loss? Find out in today's episode! Some things I discuss are: If you are a person who is naturally more attuned to your environment, it can be exhausting, and it can impact your mood.More clutter can impact your mood and take up your mental energy, which can lead to overwhelm and being stressed out, which can lead to relief, perhaps with food. It's a chain reaction. A study by the Royal Australian College of General Practicioners found that people with extremely cluttered homes are 77% more likely to be overweight and that tidy homes have been found to be a predictor of physical health. When we have ADHD,  we are often blind to how clutter gets started. Clutter consciousness is a thing! What to do about the clutter: Start small! Picture your future self living the way you would love to live, what does that look like in terms of your environment? Work backwards in small steps to get there! Functionality - what does functionality look like for you in your environment? Developing your awareness around what makes you feel good and being aware of what's happening around you can lead to you making little changes here and there that lead you to your goals. There's a total connection between your environment, ADHD, and your weight loss goals! I'd love to hear from you!
