If the world feels too big, too loud, too impossible — I get it. That's why I created The Three-Foot Reset. It's not about fixing everything. It's about finding focus again — one small decision at a time. The Three-Foot Reset →

The Three-Foot Reset: How ADHD Minds Step Back, Refocus, and Reclaim Control in a Chaotic World A few years ago, I was walking into a conference after-party when a man came barreling down the escalator, moving fast and out of breath. As he passed me, he said, "There's too many people up there! I've got to get some space."I remember feeling that deep in my bones — because I've been that guy. Overwhelmed. Overstimulated. Trying to hold it together while the world gets louder and louder.These days, that feeling shows up everywhere. The news. Social media. The endless scroll of bad headlines. For those of us with ADHD, our brains don't just see it all — we absorb it. Every headline, every injustice, every "what if" lights up our nervous system like a pinball machine.The Three-Foot Reset was born out of that chaos. It's a simple, real-world method I created to help ADHD minds come back from overwhelm — one grounded step at a time. You’ll learn how to: Recognize the early signs of burnout before it takes over Refocus on what's actually within your control Rebuild calm and capability through small, real-world actions Reset your nervous system using practical grounding tools Reconnect with people and purpose when everything feels too big This isn't theory. It's lived experience. I use this same process myself every day — to step away from the noise, get out of my head, and come back to what truly matters.If you've been running down your own escalator, just trying to find some space, this guide is for you. http://learn.pathfinderchronicles.com/l/three-foot-reset
