An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation to determine if a person shows symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It typically involves interviews of the individual and people close to them to get insights into their behaviors and struggles with focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The assessment may include completing questionnaires, neuropsychological tests, computerized tests, and other diagnostic tools to assess cognitive abilities, emotional functioning, peer/family relationships. The results are analyzed by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine if the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis are met. Based on the results Set specific, measurable goals. Break into smaller action steps. Prioritize and schedule tasks.

Helping clients overcome lack of focus can be challenging because it can be both a cognitive and behavioral issue. In my view, integrating a holistic approach that considers both cognitive and behavioral elements can be effective. Some of the cognitive strategies can include encouraging the client to meditate, mindfulness, regular exercise and a healthier lifestyle. Some cognitive behavioral techniques like identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that may contribute to the lack of focus, Reframing negative self thoughts. Additionally by embracing time management techniques, using the Pomodoro method of short bursts of focus with breaks in between. Establishing priorities will help the client overcome lack of focus.

Lack of FOCUS = Lack of JOY! At least in most cases. Either there is something that is bothering you internally or externally. It can be that you don't like what you do, or you don't like your boss, or something as nuanced as you don't know what IMPACT you are creating with your work. Those are all questions that need to be asked by the coach and answered by the coachee and then we reach the core problems. The underlying issues, and we work our way backward.

Infusing positivity in your daily routine can be a huge factor to stay focused. A lot of people start on their journey but those who show up everyday and work hard for their goals with consistency achieve great things. Success is not something you can achieve overnight. It's a process, a journey which challenges you and gets the best out of you. All of it is only possible when your mind has full focus and clarity.

Aufmerksamkeit und Konzentrationsfähigkeit sitzen in verschiedenen Teilen unseres Gehirn, so zum Beispiel im anterioren cingulären Cortex (ACC) und im Thalamus. Wir können diese beiden Bereiche effektiv und nachweislich messbar mit Achtsamkeitstraining und Meditation stärken! So können wir unsere Konzentration zum Beispiel länger bei einer Sache halten (Daueraufmerksamkeit), wir können aus einer Vielzahl an Informationen, das für uns wichtige auswählen (selektive Aufmerksamkeit) oder unsere Aufmerksamkeit gezielt ausrichten und von Ablenkungen schneller wieder zurückkehren oder uns weniger ablenken lassen (Aufmerksamkeitskontrolle und -regulation).
