White noise as background to increase focus during work bouts, or 40Hz binaural beats— both of which by the way are available at zero cost online via YouTube, etc., are among the more useful data-supported tools for increasing focus. They won’t cure ADHD but they can assist focus in meaningful ways.

Agree. Leaning into uncertainty is indeed a big component of #cbtworks

[Rene D. Zweig, Ph.D. @drrenezweig]

Learning to tolerate uncertainty is a big component of #CBTWorks for #anxiety.

The anxious mind tends to catastrophize uncertain things. “What if…?”

But uncertainty can also be exciting or neutral. And it’s certainly unavoidable.

@BonnieZuckerPhD Such a great intervention!!

It’s not a coincidence that doing these things before 11am makes us feel better all day & sleep better:
1) View sunlight
2) Exercise
3) Hydrate
4) See people we love
(They are among the major cues for circadian clock setting. All goes better when we obey our circadian biology).
