Stepwise: Building Better Habits with ADHD
Join a vibrant community where understanding meets action, and every step forward is a triumph! In this ADHD habit-building group, we will embrace a flexible approach to habit formation that is backed by behavioral research, blending insights from the book "Atomic Habits" with our collective experiences. No need for rigid schedules or complicated habit trackers here – just gentle nudges towards a more fulfilling life. Join us as we embark on a quest to unlock the secrets of sustainable change, one small step at a time.
Additional Notes about Stepwise:
This group is a learning and practice group. Group members will need to acquire the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, as will read and work through it together. (Audio format is fine.)
