An ADHD Community: That Exactly

💫 Making Time for Mindful Movement

Celebrate the movement that works for you.

It doesn’t matter if you’re running a mile, doing five minutes of yoga, dancing in your kitchen, or walking to the end of the street and back — it all counts. This isn’t about fitness goals or perfect routines; it’s about honoring our ADHD brains and bodies through movement, mindfulness, and self-compassion.

Research shows that movement supports ADHDers in all the best ways — helping regulate emotions, boost focus, improve sleep, and deliver that much-needed dopamine. But knowing it helps doesn’t always make it easy to do. That’s why this series exists.

Each Making Time for Mindful Movement event is a gentle accountability check-in, not a live session. Move whenever it works for you — morning, afternoon, or night — then share a quick photo, comment, or reflection with the group. Whether you’re celebrating a long hike, a dance break, or a quick stretch between Zoom calls, your effort counts.

🌿 How to Participate

1. Choose how you want to move — any activity that feels good for your body and brain.
2. Move mindfully — tune in to how you feel before, during, and after.
3. Share your win — post a photo, comment, or reflection in the Meetup chat. It’s about connection, not comparison.
4. Celebrate yourself — every bit of movement counts.

This is about creating space — not pressure — for mindful, intentional movement and recognizing every effort as a win. It’s your reminder to move in whatever way feels right for you, at your own pace, in your own way. 💛

☀️ Mindful Mornings: Let’s Wake Up Together

A 40-minute ADHD-friendly session to start the day with intention, presence, and care.

This event was born from personal need. If I don’t schedule time to pause, breathe, and center myself, I find the morning disappears in a blur—leaving me racing to shower, get dressed, grab tea, and somehow make myself camera-ready in under ten minutes. The calm, grounding start I crave? It never happens. And I know I’m not the only one.

That’s why this space exists.

It’s a gentle invitation to begin the day with mindful intention—a moment to reconnect with yourself before the world asks anything of you. It’s not about productivity. It’s about presence.

Together we’ll:

• Take meds, hydrate, and settle in with a warm drink (breakfast welcome!)
• Ease into the day with a grounding breath, short meditation, or simple mindfulness practice
• Gently move or stretch to wake up the body
• Journal or reflect on a light prompt
• Share in casual discussion (topics vary—sometimes gratitude, sometimes life stuff)

This isn’t a structured to-do list or performance.
It’s a space I hold—but how you use it is up to you.

There’s no “right” way to start your day here.
Whether you’re stretching, journaling, sipping tea, or simply breathing—you’re doing it right if it honors what you need.

This is a quiet container for self-connection.
No comparison, no pressure. Just presence.
A moment to remember: you’re a human being, not a human doing.

Come as you are—pajamas welcome, bedhead and all.
Cameras encouraged (but not required).

Let’s ease into the day together. 💛

Come join us for our Wins-Day Celebration! 🎉

We don’t celebrate our wins nearly enough — especially with ADHD.
But here’s the science-y truth:

Celebrating even tiny wins creates real neurological benefits.

When we acknowledge progress (big or small), our brains release dopamine — a neurotransmitter ADHD brains tend to run low on. That dopamine boost improves motivation, focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through.

At the same time, sharing our wins with a safe, supportive community increases serotonin, which helps stabilize mood, reduce stress, and reinforce a sense of belonging — something many ADHDers deeply crave.

In other words:
Celebrating your wins isn’t fluffy. It’s brain care.

And that’s what Wins-Day is all about.

This is a warm, supportive space where we take a few minutes to:

• share something we’re proud of — even if it feels tiny
• celebrate each other’s victories
• build momentum through positive reinforcement
• remind ourselves that progress counts (not perfection)

Whether your win is “I folded one shirt” or “I finally did the hard thing I’ve been avoiding for weeks,” it belongs here.

This community gets it.

Your wins matter.

You matter.

Session Structure:

To keep this space intentional and meaningful, attendance is limited to just 10 people (11, if you include me). This helps ensure that everyone has the time and space to truly share and be celebrated—without feeling rushed or overlooked.

• We'll start the celebration at 9:03 AM (MDT) (yep, that’s intentional!) to give folks a moment to settle in.
• Everyone gets at least 3 minutes to celebrate their win—without feeling rushed.
• When you have 30 seconds left, I’ll use the ✋ "raised hand" feature as a gentle heads-up to start wrapping up.

Let’s laugh, cheer each other on, and practice being loud about what we’re proud of. 💜 We can’t wait to celebrate you.

👥 Participation Notes

• Camera optional, but please turn it on when it's your turn to share. Message me if that's tricky — we’ll figure it out!
• This is a small, cozy event (capped at 11–13). Please RSVP only if you're planning to attend.
• If you can’t make it, just update your RSVP to “No” — no guilt at all, and it helps someone else take part. 💛
• To join this event, you’ll need to have attended at least 3 other group events. If not, you may be moved to the waitlist.
• We prioritize members who show up consistently. Frequent no-shows may be moved down the list so others can attend.
