Realistic Routines and Strategies for Change

Have you ever wondered why creating new habits or sticking to routines can feel so difficult, even when you genuinely want to make changes?
The answer isn't a lack of motivation or discipline. Executive functioning skills, which are the mental processes that help us plan, prioritize, initiate tasks, and follow through, can be significantly impacted by stress, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and the demands of everyday life.
Join Azalea for this practical and engaging workshop as we explore how executive functioning works, why change can be so challenging, and how to build routines that are realistic, sustainable, and tailored to the way your brain works.
Together, we'll discuss evidence-based strategies for creating lasting change, including habit stacking, Ticket Theory, and how factors such as play, pleasure, interest, novelty, challenge, community, and urgency (PINCH) can be used to make habits more accessible and enjoyable.
During this workshop, you'll learn:
- What executive functioning skills are and why they matter
- How stress, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma can affect motivation and follow-through
- Why traditional approaches to habit-building often fail
- How to use habit stacking and Ticket Theory to simplify change
- Ways to harness play, pleasure, interest, novelty, challenge, community, and urgency (PINCH) to support motivation
- Practical strategies for creating routines that are flexible, realistic, and sustainable
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to stay consistent, or simply looking for new ways to work with your brain rather than against it, this workshop will provide compassionate, practical tools to help you create meaningful change, without relying on perfection or willpower.
This is perfect for adults with ADHD, busy professionals, parents, students, and anyone looking to build healthier habits and routines in a way that actually works.
