		<title>Happy Mental Health Blogging Day! Please Join Us in the Global Mental Health Movement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is so amazing how organizations are popping up all over the world helping us join forces to tackle mental health diseases.  I was privileged enough to speak in Athens, Greece a few years ago about iFred&#8217;s rebranding depression work, and learned from countries around the world just how important it is we work together [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Do You Know if You Need Therapy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I told someone I thought they could benefit from therapy, because they were having a series of issues in their life.  I was surprised when I heard the response &#8216;But I don&#8217;t have a mental illness.&#8217;  It shouldn&#8217;t surprise me, as a big part of my life&#8217;s work is rebranding depression and the associated [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Convince a Child to Meditate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Readers respond quite frequently to my blogs: &#8216;if only I could convince my 10 year old to do meditate.&#8217;  It may be majorly challenging to get children to practice, but if we can get them to sit for hours in front of video games, brush their teeth regularly, or study for exams, I do believe it&#8217;s possible.

		<title>ADHD, Restlessness and Impulsivity; &#8220;Really, You Won&#8217;t Die&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working through Jack Kornfield&#8217;s series; &#8220;The Inner Art of Meditation&#8217;, and I have to say I am incredibly impressed with his instruction and ability to ground us in our practice.  I never thought of myself as particularly &#8216;H&#8217; of ADHD, but more of an I for impulsivity.  In working through meditation, I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yoga and Meditation: The Benefits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that Yoga and Meditation were the same thing. In my twenties, I rolled my eyes at both, preferring the adrenaline pumping action of movement – any movement – to the quiet stillness of what I thought was wasted time. My thirties forced me to reconsider, when I came down with Lyme’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Art of ADHD and Engagement: Learning to Use Your Senses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems so basic, yet it has taken me a lifetime and then some to learn that to be in the here and now I have to get off &#8216;autopilot&#8217; and engage my senses.  I actually created a company to encourage it, yet still I forget to do it.  My ADHD seems to have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Irony of Meditation; If It Feels Like Torture, It&#8217;s Working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may know, I&#8217;ve been trying and trying to meditate for months.  I&#8217;m doing a pretty good job &#8211; 15 minutes a day in the morning and at night, with deep breathing exercises.  However, these last few weeks have been particularly trying and I don&#8217;t mean to be flippant, but have felt like torture.

		<title>ADHD, PMS and Women: Mastering Monthly Hormones When You Have ADHD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t read studies, but I have to believe that women with ADHD have a much harder time coping with PMS than those without it.  I have always had depression, but my life was mixed with alcohol which makes things a lot less clear, as it is always changing your brain chemistry. When I quit [...]]]></description>

		<title>ADHD and Giving Up: Learning &#8216;When To Say When&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think one of the great things about being ADHD is that we can go after something for a long, long time once we have our focus on it.  Or, as I do, go on / off / on / off / on / off for a long time trying to figure out if I [...]]]></description>
