Upcoming Meetings
CHADD meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month except July and August from 7:00-9:20 pm at the Severna Park United Methodist Church, at 731 Benfield Rd, Severna Park, MD. If Anne Arundel county schools are cancelled due to weather, then the meeting will be cancelled as well.
Our next meeting will be on February 10th. Spiritual Self-Care: Finding Your Center & Reconnecting to Your Brilliance with Carol Ann Robbins, Ph.D.
Briefly revisit the fundamental non-negotiable pillars of self-care for individuals with ADHD: sleep, exercise and diet. Find out what you need to know about them and how to develop good daily habits to prioritize them. Then learn about the all important fourth pillar of Spiritual self-care. Experience daily practices for centering and grounding, as you bring your focus down from your overactive monkey mind and into your body and the Earth below. Implement simple Qigong, meditation, breathing, and energy medicine practices to calm you and train your body to be peaceful and centered. Learn how to raise your vibration energetically when you get stuck in fear-based emotions like worry, shame, blame, sadness, anger, and guilt, moving into love-based emotions such as happiness, gratitude, joy, peace, and appreciation. Tap into the brilliance of your heart-space to connect with your inner Buddha of peaceful, loving presence that is always available to you as a resource. Learn ways to avoid overcommitting and depleting yourself by prioritizing you. Reconnect to your brilliance and gifts, your intuitive and creative energies, and your passion and purpose, through aligning your body, mind and Spirit to manifest your dreams.
