Ep 83: Executive Function Series #5 Stress Tolerance
In this deep-dive episode of our executive function series, I share how to build stress tolerance for ADHD brains and the practical strategies that helped me go from overwhelmed to calm, even when life gets chaotic.
đź“Ś Key Topics:
- My personal journey with stress overwhelm when hosting gatherings
- The critical connection between stress tolerance and other executive functions
- Why the right amount of stress can actually be helpful for motivation
- How reframing stress as a challenge changes your physical response
- Building your stress "muscle" through consistent small exposures
- The power of ADHD-friendly prioritization to prevent overwhelm
🗣️ Featured Quote: "Stress tolerance isn't about avoiding stress altogether—it's about building the capacity to handle it in a healthy way, especially when you live with ADHD."
đź’ˇ Strategy Breakdown:
- Reframe stress as a challenge rather than a threat to reduce intensity
- Develop specific stress relief habits that don't create negative consequences
- Create an ADHD-friendly prioritization system with the "Today List" method
- Learn to recognize when stress is becoming too much and have tools ready
🎯 Coming Up Next: Join us next week as we continue our executive function series with organization strategies for your mind, things, and work/home life.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Stress tolerance works like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets. With practice, your ability to stay calm, focused and resilient under pressure grows.
