Good tool. I need to get back to meditating. I've been doing it more lately. My job is physically demanding though, and I have to be up at 04:50 am to get the day started, so I have to be careful when I do it or it'll just become a nap lol, which, while nice, doesn't help me to focus on the present.

I came across the word mindfulness while googling "non Judgemental" It described me to a t lol, I have never meditated, I just always put my feet in the shoes of others, I accept people for who they are and I have no expectations . perhaps this is because of my ADHD which is so debilitating, I do not try to fit in to this 9-5 money orientated man-made existance I believe ADHD to be evolution, some day we will all be ADHD

Great to hear that you are so accepting of other people. I'm like that as well, and I have to say this bent on life gives me particular pleasure. I can get a kick out of such a wide range of people, including (maybe especially) those are very different from me.

On mindfulness, the nonjudgmental element is about our initial feelings and thoughts (usually regarding ourselves) like our initial response (inner response) to back pain, or leg pain or our nerves before an important meeting. It's about paying attention to your thoughts without berating yourself or catastrophizing--which only make things worse. That's a very crude summary. But mindfulness can be very helpful for ADHD, as can other forms of meditation.
