0:00.0 | Okay, so what we're going to do now, my dear, is I'm going to lead you through a surf practice. |
0:04.9 | And it's going to be short and sweet. I'll try to keep it to about five to seven minutes. |
0:11.0 | And it's something that you'll be able to come back to over and over. I use adaptations of this for myself all day, every day, depending on how much time I have. Sometimes I do this |
0:23.9 | literally in 30 to 60 seconds. Now, this is something that I've been practicing for several years, |
0:30.0 | so I have the skill deeply ingrained in my body. And I want to encourage you again, |
0:36.2 | your brain is neuroplastic. It will change. You are able to |
0:40.8 | develop this skill, I promise, promise, promise. Sometimes, though, when I'm experiencing some |

1:32.8 | Okay? So this is the surf method for people with ADHD. It starts with stop, then unfold, |
1:42.8 | reassure, and find. So let's start. So you've noticed something is happening |
1:47.9 | in your body and you're just going to stop. You're going to take a deep breath. And you're just |
1:53.9 | going to notice that something is going on. Now, I just naturally closed my eyes right here. |
2:00.4 | For me, it's a lot easier to focus with my eyes |
2:02.9 | closed. So I'm going to sit here with my eyes closed and I'm going to lead you through this practice |
2:07.4 | in this way. So I'm stopping and pausing saying, uh-oh, something's going on. Not really sure what |
2:16.4 | it is, but I'm noticing that something is happening. |
