How Breathwork is a dealbreaker for women with ADHD

Struggling with focus and overwhelm as a woman with ADHD? Discover how breathwork can transform your ability to stay present, manage emotions, and boost clarity. Through simple yet powerful techniques, you can activate calm, sharpen your concentration, and find balance. 

How Breathwork Helps Women with ADHD Focus Better

Living with ADHD can often feel like being caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, tasks, and emotions. For women, the challenge can be even more pronounced as societal expectations and multitasking demands pile on. Fortunately, one powerful and accessible tool that’s gaining attention is breathwork. Rooted in ancient practices and backed by modern science, breathwork can be a game-changer for women with ADHD. Let’s explore how.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork involves intentional breathing techniques that influence your physical, mental, and emotional states. Practices range from simple deep breathing exercises to structured methods like diaphragmatic breathing, box breathing, and alternate nostril breathing. By consciously controlling your breath, you can tap into your body’s natural ability to calm the mind, increase focus, and enhance overall well-being.

The Connection Between Breath and the Brain

For women with ADHD, the brain’s executive functions—like planning, focus, and emotional regulation—are often out of sync. Breathwork helps by:

  • Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Deep, slow breaths signal the body to move out of its fight-or-flight mode (common in ADHD) and into a state of rest and digest. This calms the mind and reduces anxiety, a common ADHD symptom.

  • Improving Oxygen Flow: Proper breathing increases oxygen supply to the brain, boosting cognitive function and focus.

  • Enhancing Neurotransmitter Balance: Breathwork can help regulate dopamine and serotonin levels, both of which play a role in mood and attention.

How Breathwork Supports Focus

Here are specific ways breathwork can sharpen focus and reduce ADHD-related challenges:

1. Reducing Overwhelm

ADHD often comes with racing thoughts and emotional overwhelm. Breathwork slows down the heart rate and creates a sense of grounding, making it easier to tackle tasks one step at a time.

2. Building Awareness

Practicing intentional breathing fosters mindfulness—the ability to stay present in the moment. For women juggling work, family, and personal goals, this heightened awareness can help reduce distractions and enhance productivity.

3. Creating Structure

Many breathwork techniques follow a structured rhythm (e.g., inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts). This rhythm trains the brain to focus on a sequence, building concentration and discipline over time.

4. Enhancing Emotional Regulation

Emotional dysregulation is a common struggle for women with ADHD. Breathwork helps create a pause between stimulus and response, allowing you to manage emotions more effectively and respond thoughtfully.

Breathwork Techniques to Try

Here are some beginner-friendly techniques to incorporate into your day:

1. Box Breathing

  • Inhale for 4 counts.

  • Hold your breath for 4 counts.

  • Exhale for 4 counts.

  • Hold your breath again for 4 counts.

This method is excellent for calming a racing mind and restoring focus.

2. Diaphragmatic Breathing

  • Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly.

  • Breathe deeply through your nose, ensuring your belly rises more than your chest.

  • Exhale slowly through your mouth.

This technique reduces stress and enhances oxygen flow to the brain.

3. Alternate Nostril Breathing

  • Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through your left nostril.

  • Close your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale through your right nostril.

  • Repeat, alternating sides.

This practice balances the brain’s hemispheres and promotes mental clarity.

Incorporating Breathwork Into Daily Life

Consistency is key to reaping the benefits of breathwork. Here are some tips to make it part of your routine:

  • Morning Reset: Start your day with 5 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing to set a calm and focused tone.

  • Midday Check-In: Use box breathing during work breaks to refocus your energy.

  • Evening Wind-Down: Try alternate nostril breathing before bed to relax your mind and body.

The Beauty of an ADHD Brain: Strengths that shine through

ADHD is more than just a label—it’s an entire way of experiencing the world. For those of us who have it, life often feels like a constant tug-of-war between boundless creativity and frustrating limitations. We see connections others don’t, dream bigger than most, and have the potential to create incredible things. But in a society that prizes structure, deadlines, and consistency, we often feel like we’re failing, simply for being wired differently.

If you have ADHD, or love someone who does, you know the struggles. You’ve likely heard the same judgments over and over: Why can’t you just focus? You’re lazy. You never finish anything. You just need more willpower. These assumptions are not only painful but entirely false. The reality? ADHD is not a lack of effort—it’s a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects how we process information, regulate emotions, and navigate daily life.

Accepting ADHD Autism Diagnosis

Accepting Self: Life after receiving an Autism/ADHD Diagnosis

For many, receiving an Autism or ADHD diagnosis in adulthood can feel like uncovering a long-hidden key to understanding oneself. For me, being diagnosed at 36 was a pivotal moment—it was equal parts liberating and daunting. Suddenly, the pieces of my life started to fit together: the struggles I had navigating a neurotypical world, the burnout from trying to keep up, and the feeling of always being just a little “off script.”
