You're not failing - You just have JDHD

You've tried forever to make it to candle-lighting calmly. Because you learned that Shabbat is about peace, calm, and rest. With happy, dressed kids playing cooperatively. AND 18 minutes to spare...

But once again you find yourself rushing around, scrambling for matches, and yelling at everyone to hurry up as they throw socks at each other and search for their shabbos shoes.

You light your candles and collapse onto the couch - exhausted, defeated and feeling so incapable and so far from that eishet chayil we sing about. And then there's the guilt... knowing that this panicked chaos is not the atmosphere you want your kids to associate with bringing in shabbat.

Here’s what you need to shift, so you can finally light your shabbat candles peacefully, without sprinting to the finish line feeling frazzled and breathless:

TIP OF THE WEEK

ADHD is not a problem to be fixed or a character flaw. It is simply a different way of being in the world, that comes with its own set of rules for thriving.

For example, ADHD brains are activated by stimulation rather than inherent motivation, so adding a bit of interest to a boring task makes it easier to start. Try calling your sister, playing music, or listening to a shiur while you do the dishes.

When you learn these rules, you’ll stop feeling like you’re failing as an eishet chayil.

You'll have the desire and the energy to sit on the floor and play games with your kids after candle-lighting.

You'll feel accomplished, calm and ENOUGH.
