They say to write what you know, so here's what I know: some days my brain feels like it's running on three different radio stations at once, and I need something that can either tune into that chaos or help me find the right frequency. That's what I was going for when I made our ADHD playlist candle.
Sensory seeking
ADHD'ers brains are said to process dopamine differently. That's why everything feels harder to start and why we're always chasing that extra, something.
Music helps. The right songs can actually boost dopamine, which is why a good playlist can make the difference between getting stuff done and staring at the wall for three hours. This one's specifically designed to help your brain get what it needs.
But why stop at just sound? If music can help your brain, imagine what happens when you add scent to the mix. Your nose has a direct line to your brain, so good smells can shift your whole mood instantly.
Drop the bilateral beat
Bilateral beats sound fancy as hell, but they're basically just songs designed to get both sides of your brain talking to each other. Think of it like couples therapy for your brain.
Will it cure your inability to remember where you put your keys five seconds ago? Probably not. But it might help you focus long enough to actually find them under that pile of clean laundry you've never gonna fold.
If you know, you know.
You know the drill: light a candle, walk away to do "just one quick thing," and then three hours later you're lying in bed wondering if you accidentally turned your apartment into a bonfire.
That's why this bad boy comes in a wickless option, too.
Your Chaotic Brain Deserves Nice Things
Whether you're procrastinating on something important or deep in a hyperfixation rabbit hole (like trying to remember which musician's middle name is actually Danger) , you deserve a cozy space.
Light the candle or don't. Put on the playlist. Stop apologizing for how your mind operates. You're doing great. Promise.
Now, give into that impulse and buy the candle already.
