ADHD is a kind of “loss of control over your attention”.
Meditation is “getting control over your attention”.
So you see the connection there.

Tried to, but it instead it makes me super aware of every bodypart, and suddenly everything is uncomfortable. That was the usual sit cross legged, recite a mantra kind of meditation.
Now I just do breathing exercises instead, count 1 to 10, then back down, focusing on my breathing. I usually have to do that when I’m very tired but still can’t manage to fall asleep due to my wandering mind. It helps settle myself down. I still manage to get distracted though, counting in different languages and catching myself doing it, then wondering if trying to correct it is better than just letting it be.

Huh, interesting. I’ll look into it. Might help nail down how I do it cus it helps, but not much.
Lol I’ve left this video in two other comments already, and I’m going to stop now, but I really hope it helps cause it helped me a lot when I was trying to meditate.
Maybe try not counting and just clearing your mind? Acknowledge any thoughts you do have and try again/move past it until it gets easier.
