A word before you begin. This is something I am hoping to institute on a weekly basis. It is a project I am working on that will be part of a series, but more than that, for me, it is a lesson in not censoring my writing. I have no plot, no characters, and no direction in mind for this exercise. It is just me, writing the next thing that comes into my mind. In essence, I am learning about this setting, these characters, and their motivation along with you. So please understand that this is not meant to be some highly polished, masterful work. It’s very much a work in progress. Please feel free to leave any thoughts or critiques in the comments. I will be adding to this story as we go.
How does Exercise Influence ADHD?
It has been long known that there are many benefits to regular exercise. I’ve always placed exercise as something of relative importance in my struggle to stay healthy both mentally and physically.
