Tip 4: Stay Cool

Written By Katarzyna Kling

Surrounding yourself with a cool spectrum of colour - like soothing sage greens and washed-out blues - is one of ways to drop the temperature on an ADHD brain spin.

​A 2021 study in the UAE by M. D. Ghonem and A. M. Al-Sallal showed that introducing cool-toned spaces acts like a physical brake pedal for an overstimulated nervous system, lowering anxiety. These specific shades fool your brain into feeling a literal drop in temperature and mental stress.

​When things get overwhelming, step into your cool-toned sanctuary, look at those calming shades, and watch your racing mind settle down.
