122| Making Friends with Adult ADHD     Please join us as we welcome Alex Hofeldt back to the show. Some of you may recognize him from the Beautiful Dust Specks Podcast. This week Eric and Alex discuss the effect ADHD has on Making friends and social situations, such as remembering names, conversation, and general awkwardness. For people with ADHD, life can be very difficult when in social situations. This is even more so the case in small to large groups of people. We cannot expect everyone we know and interact with to factor our “condition” into everything we say think or feel. People are generally impatient when it comes to these things and for those who are interested in fitting in, this can be a very disheartening circumstance. Forgetting names is common and people can sometimes feel they are not regarded highly enough by you for you to take the time to actually remember their name. Blurting out can be considered rude in that it is generally taken as an interruption. Sometimes people with ADHD are just different and therefore misunderstood. This can even be the case with other people with ADHD. Those of us with ADHD do tend to stand out and it can be frustrating when one day our peers depend on us for entertainment and the next day just can’t seem to deal with us. Some of us have been in a similar circumstance when we are treated as the court jester among our “friends”, as if we are there for the sole purpose of their amusement when they want us to perform. Eric Tivers (host of ADHD reWired) was kind enough to try to help Alex with his specific problems in this area. Alex mentions many of the problems as stated above and goes further with some more specific things.  Eric offered Alex what I felt was some really sound advice. It was not just general tips we have all heard before. It was catered to his specific problems, which is what an ADHD coach should always do. Alex was kind enough to agree to come back on the show to discuss how his problem has changed as a result of the coaching Eric provided him. Please stay tuned to ADHD reWired for the follow-up with Alex.   On a personal note: “During this episode I found myself able to identify with Alex. I felt and still feel a strong empathy for him. I was reminded of the being in similar situations during certain times in my life. Alex held nothing back and was very forthcoming in the things he shared. I am happy to know the ADHD community has a person like Alex in it. His honesty was inspiring and I was reminded of the reason for my own commitment to spread awareness about one of the most treatable mental disorders we know of.” T.  

Alex Hofeldt is a high school science teacher from Illinois and is the creator and host of Beautiful Dust Specks, a podcast designed to show the world the wonder and motivation in Science. Listen to Part 1 here! In this episode, Alex discusses: -How spending money on the podcast helped to motivate him to keep doing it. -The value that can come from scaring yourself a little bit every day. -How like a cell, you adapt to the situation you find yourself in, and how the people around you can oftentimes bring you down. -How creative people can resonate with each other because they realize how we need to help lift each other up. -The importance of holding onto the people that do resonate with what you are attempting to do, and ignoring the haters. -How 28/30 students can be completely enthralled with what he is teaching, but he will only be paying attention to the one or two that aren't paying attention. -How his most "astounding fact" is how the deeper and deeper you go into science, the more you see how EVERYTHING is connected. Alex's Final Push will inspire you to move inch by inch and remain DYNAMIC!   Quotes: "There's no greater time to be creative.  Period." "For me the fear of not doing it outweighed the fear of doing it." "I think regrets have some power that you can muster and you can wield it for good if you don't let it bog you down." "Just do it wholeheartedly. Whatever it is you're going to do in life, just dive into it." "Scare yourself.  Try to do something every day that's just a little freaky." "If you move inch by inch, increment by increment, moment for moment towards a goal, you are moving.  You are dynamic." "You have infinite possibilities, no matter what anyone tells you.  These cells that make up me, Michael Jordan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, are all the same cells, just put in different environments.  So go find your environment.  Seek it out.  Search for it vehemently.  Aggressively go after the things that make you smile."   Links mentioned: Hubble Ultra Deep Field Image Are You a Miracle?  On the Probability of Your Being Born (Huffington Post) The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God by Carl Sagan The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance by Steven Kotler We Are Here: The Pale Blue Dot (YouTube) The Most Astounding Fact - Neil deGrasse Tyson (YouTube) Connect with Alex: Website / Facebook / Instagram / Twitter

The brain is a fascinating topic. It is in control of this body of ours, at least it appears to be. We can learn so much about the brain, but it ultimately is why we practice mindfulness, to calm it down. Today I'm happy to chat with Alex Hofeldt about the brain and he suggests its a little likethe battery on our cell phone. Don't leave it plugged in all the time, you need to give that battery a chance to rest between charges. You'll hear him share his interesting insight into the brain and its complex functions.

It opens you up and it slows you down to the moments of now. You look back on life and think about how many times you went from point A to point B without looking at all the different things in between. It also centers me a bit, it has an ease factor, it increases happiness, increases sleep, it's a wonderful tool to have in life.Thoughts on Breathing I do five big breaths here and there. Just to keep it simple with the kids we do five breath beginnings and then I'll vary it up. Some days I'll not think about my breathing and other times I'll consciously take in big inhales and exhale them quickly. Other times I'll try to sync the breathing up. I got a set of Tibetan Mala beads which I use to count the beads as I breathe.Suggested ResourcesBook: 10% Happier by Dan HarrisApp: HeadSpaceAdvice for Newbie  Just take a deep breath, exhale and decide you're going to start it.
