Michael Phelps, a person with ADHD, is the greatest Olympian ever! (Click Here to tweet that, it never gets old!) And with his last official Olympics swim he won yet another gold medal. His swimming career has been amazing, but Michael is accomplished in other areas of his life as well, he’s also an author and he’s a good person. And yes, he’s made mistakes, too. I highly recommend reading his book “No Limits” to get an idea of what he’s done to get where he’s at. When I’m focused, there is not one single thing, person, anything that can stand in the way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I’m gonna get there. -Michael Phelps And I believe him.

B-Calm audio sedation for the ADHD mind – a Review

B-Calm audio sedation for the ADHD mind – a Review
on: April 14, 2009 by: Bryan Hutchinson 4 Comments , , , , ...

Having searched the world over, somewhat in vain, for external solutions to help me with ADHD,  I am not the type of person that jumps on any bandwagon which claims to assist or improve the ADHD mind. With that said: When I write I like to have music on in the background and sometimes I like to have the TV and even the radio on, all at the same time. You might think that would be distracting.
