Mindfulness & ADD with Deanne Dietz

"Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat Zinn is what started it all for Deanne after receiving a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). She became a Brain Health Coach with the Amen Clinic and used herself as a test subject to get her brain back.

In this episode, Deanne shares how she used her diagnosis of ADD to get her health under control, become aware of what she was exposing herself to, and learn how to check in with her body, increase mindfulness, and healthier ways to stimulate dopamine, or the feel good hormone.

Deanne explains that a mindfulness practice can start with just a few seconds of noticing what is going on in the present moment to gradually increasing the ability to look within and noticing the signals the body is giving you.

Benefits of mindfulness: increases dopamine stimulation, allows for full experience of a moment, builds connection, brings out what you value, and allows you to listen to your heart.
