Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD13 Dec 2024

From chaotic brain to creative genius. How art can support your ADHD journey

There is never a one-size-fits-all when it comes to creating an environment where those of us with ADHD can thrive. Our environments range from workplaces to homes, and for many of us, they are places to have a little peace and quiet.

For many, having an optimal environment, or even a place where we can reflect, is mission-critical for those of us with ADHD.

In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, we're going to talk about how art can be part of your journey in thriving with adult ADHD.

Dave speaks with Elinor Trier, the founder of Elinor Trier Studios where she mostly works with art but many other types of creative endeavors all to help those of us who are neurodivergent.

Eli gives us an overview of her art studio and the types of projects she works on, but she also discusses when she discovered that art was her passion and how she knew it.

She discusses why for many of us with ADHD, creating the right environment to create focus is something many of us strive for and need and that can include surrounding yourself with art.

Eli says that art can help us be mindful and tame that chaotic brain and she talks about how this can happen and why art is a major driver of feeling calm.

Is there a science of how art can boost focus and create calm? Eli answers this as well.
