(higher than the”confusing multi-tasking “) When we find ourselves jumping from one subject to another without completing anything, a little voice comes and says,“oh my, I must have adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)! “

We Don’t acknowledge the fact that there are many reasons why we feel scattered, as it is:

- Sooo much to do
- Sooo much responsibility
- Sooo little time to do things

Can overwhelm sendya Spinnin’!

Consider it.

Could be that you’re missing your attention to the issues, it might just be that you are missing the purpose.

When we feel overwhelmed by the responsibility and long-\ ‘to-do”list, It’s easy to just get through the day and nothing else.

There is no meaning or intended to be connected to the daily tasks can be set phase of scattered and unfocused activity.

Made aware of the purpose of all this is a good way to deal with what we think might be ADD

For example, fixing a meal for you and your family. The purpose would be”is a feed and nourish the body’.

But it’s not always easy to focus enough awareness to make each activity.

Clearing your office space and getting it organized is a good thing to do every once and a while. As you create your space and plan your schedule, you can incorporate tools and leave time for mini-spa experiences within your workdays. You can do many easy things in your office environment to give you powerful rejuvenating opportunities. Here are some tips for either your home office or your corporate office:

1)You can create a 5-minute “mini-steam” right at your desk. This can open your sinuses, your pores, and your mind and give you a much-needed highly rejuvenating break in your workday. Pour hot water in a cup. Put 2 – 3 drops of an essential oil such as eucalyptus, lavender, or peppermint in the cup. Put your face over the cup and take a large file folder capping over your head to create an enclosed environment. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Write on the outside of the file folder in black marker “Taking a 5 minute spa break - Do Not Disturb!”

2)Give yourself a 2-minute acupressure session with points on your face. Some people call this a non-surgical face-lift. This uses the Asian principles of opening up the channels of energy or “chi”. It can give you an instant uplift, alleviate a headache, clear mental fog, and bring a glow to your face. Using both hands with the pads of your first 2 fingers press firmly all over both sides of the face.

3)Take a 4-minute fantasy vacation. Close your eyes, put your feet up on your desk, take a deep breath and picture your favorite vacation spot. See yourself there feeling good and having a great time. The unconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between a real or imagined event. Your body will thank you!

4)Rap over a wrap. Have a spa cuisine lunch with a good friend. Sandwich wraps filled with veggies and protein are a good healthy lunch. Combine that with a “heart to heart” conversation for great stress reduction.

5)Give yourself self-administered foot reflexology sessions right at your desk. Keep a foot roller at your feet to roll your feet on (shoes off) during the day. This can stimulate reflex points on your feet that can relax and invigorate your entire body. Along with foot rollers you can also use a golf ball, racquetball, or tennis ball. Don’t forget to keep a pair of comfy slippers under your desk for times you just need to relax your feet.

6)Share a healing touch with an office mate. Exchange a nice shoulder rub with each other to relax those “computer tight” shoulder and neck muscles

7)Walk outside. Take a 10-minute nature break – and that doesn’t mean the rest room! A stroll outside in nature can do wonders for you.

Freshen your environment. Diffuse essential oils in your office or cubical area so that it smells good, cuts down on unwanted bacteria, viruses, fungus and mold, and delivers more oxygen to your work space.

9)Have a voluptuous jade plant on your desk near your computer. Not only does the shiny green color relax you, but the jade plant helps to absorb electromagnetic frequencies that come off of your computer screen.. In fact, many common houseplants detoxify the environment. Keep several types of plants nearby in your workspace. Peace lilies, spider plants, and English Ivy are all good plants to use.

10)Fish are fun and relaxing to look at. A pretty and low maintenance fish to have on your desk is the Betta fish. It doesn’t need a filtered aquarium to live in and lives on just a few pellets of food a day.

11)Keep healthy snacks in your desk drawer to keep your blood sugar levels stable, especially during stressful days and days you skip meals. Mixed nuts, trail mix or healthy protein bars are good to have on hand. Ningxia Red juice packets for on the go are a great healthy energy boost.

12)Music soothes the soul and our souls often need soothing especially when we are stressed at work with issues and deadlines. Have your iPod or MP3 player with some of your favorite relaxing tunes on it playing lightly in the background.

Are you someone who starts doing something and then goes on to another thing, then another, without completing anything you’ve started? (kinda like “disorganized multi-tasking”)When we find ourselves jumping from one thing to another without completing anything, a little voice comes in and says “oh my! I must have adult Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.)!”We don’t give credit to the fact that there is plenty of reason why we feel scattered, because there is:

-- sooo much to do
– sooo many responsibilities
– sooo little time in which to do things

The overwhelm can sendya spinnin’!It might not be that you are lacking in your attention to matters, it might just be that you are lacking in intention.When we feel overwhelmed with responsibility and a long “to-do” list, it’s easy to just want to get through the day and nothing more.Not having meaning or intention connected to daily tasks can set the stage for scattered and unfocused activity.Making a conscious intention for everything we do is a great way to counteract what we think might be A.D.D.For example, fixing a meal for yourself and family. An intention would be “to nourish and feed the body”.But it’s not always easy having enough focused awareness to make an intention for each activity.Here are some steps to create focused awareness in your life:

:- ground the physical body to the earth – a simple bouncing up and down on the heels can do that

:- create conscious reminders next to each item on your “to-do” list with the intention and purpose behind each task

:- make each thought a prayer, an active intention (not a beseeching prayer) until it becomes a habitThere are actually a few (YL) essential oils that can help with this too:

– Valor
– Grounding
– Clarity
– Frankincense

–  If you can tolerate any food, try the BRAT Diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast).

–Dry crackers by your bedside work, but only if you nibble on them! And eat them in bed before you attempt to get up and move

–Avoid greasy or spicy foods, or foods with a strong odor

–Have your foods and beverages at room temperature, hot food sand drinks may add to nausea

–If you want cooked foods you can cook fruits and vegetables (like apples and carrots) Cook them lightly with fresh ginger

–Drink peppermint tea or ginger tea

–Peppermint essential oil, Spearmint essential oil, Ginger essential oil (place drop on finger and touch tongue with finger). Make       sure to use only therapeutic grade oil with the Supplemental Facts on the label (Young Living fulfills these qualifications)

–Small sips of room temperature filtered water with a drop of one of the above essential oils. Do this every fifteen minutes to prevent dehydration.

–Juice fresh celery juice with carrot and ginger

–Small sips of cool not cold, naturally carbonated unsweetened beverage such as Perrier, or Pelligrino

–If you vomit make sure to replace fluids along with mineral sand electrolytes. Sip any fluids that you can keep down including broth, clear juice, and natural nectars.

–If you need to replace electrolytes and can’t get to a health food store or your Young Living supply, you can drink Pedialyte bought in drug stores or Gatorade (try to get everything without sugar when possible) in regular stores.
