Whenever we see art being talked about, it’s so often through the lens of the final product. What if we took a step back and recognized that the act of creating is worthwhile all on its own?

It’s easy to get stuck in the daily grind, where focus is put on doing, achieving, and pushing through. This often comes at the expense of rest, creativity, and work-life balance. That’s where process art comes in.

🎨 Process art focuses on the experience, not the outcome. It creates space to decompress, reconnect with creativity, while supporting emotional regulation - without pressure, expectations, or the need for it to be perfect.

🖌️ No special skill needed! There’s no such thing as being “bad at art” here, you just have to be willing to try.

If you want to learn more about process art click the link in our bio and sign up for Kristina’s Art Group for Neurodiverse Adults! Designed to promote self-expression and understand and process emotions, you’ll learn more about how process art can help you find a healthy balance between leisure and productivity while incorporating more joy in your life.

Struggling to stay focused? If your brain keeps drifting, you’re not alone.

Your brain has different “modes” for different needs. One is the default mode network (DMN), which is your brains autopilot. It’s active when your brain is wandering or daydreaming. 💭

To focus, you have to shift to a task-focused network. For those with ADHD, this takes more effort and the DMN stays active during those tasks. This can feel like difficulty starting tasks, getting pulled into your thoughts, or losing track of what you were doing.

Mindfulness is a helpful too to help combat this. It helps you notice “Oh - I’ve drifted!” The moment of awareness creates a pause and makes shifting brain modes possible.

💡 Try this: Name what distracted you (thinking, scrolling, etc.)
🧠 Then ask: “What do I want to be doing right now?”

You’ll leave with:
• Practical tools to support attention & task initiation

Mindfulness can feel impossible for those with ADHD, but it isn't about forcing your mind to be clear or calm. It’s about learning skills that work for YOUR nervous system and help you notice and respond intentionally when overwhelm inevitably happens.

If you’re an adult with ADHD or identify as neurodivergent, join us on February 11th at 7:30pm for a free mindfulness webinar! This isn't your generic meditation advice - we'll explore practical, accessible strategies that support attention, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. No pressure, judgment, or expectations to “do it perfectly". Instead, find community and acceptance with likeminded peers who get it.

Whether mindfulness feels brand new or you’ve tried it before and it didn’t quite stick, let us meet you where you're at and try our compassionate, neurodivergence-affirming approach. Join us and learn real tools you can use in everyday life, even when your brain feels busy.

Ever notice how it’s easier to focus when someone else is nearby, even if they’re just quietly working too? This is what we call body doubling!

In occupational therapy, body doubling means having a supportive presence while you work on tasks that feel overwhelming. This can be anything from work for your job, homework, or cleaning up around the house. Having someone nearby whether that’s organizing, finishing homework, or starting something you’ve been avoiding. This is particularly helpful for individuals who struggle with executive functioning, a common issue for those with ADHD.

You get this structure a lot more in childhood, like sitting in a classroom while everyone does their work or doing homework at the table with a parent, but it can be strikingly absent in adulthood when structure has to be actively created. In a body doubling session our OTAs provide encouragement, gentle accountability, and create that structured environment where your brain thrives.

Think body doubling could be helpful for you? Send an email to alanna@davisoccupationaltherapy.com to book a free 15 minute consultation and learn more!
