I have ADHD and I find meditation to be very useful for dealing with my challenges. I think of it as exercise for the mind. Just like the body, the mind needs exercise to function well.

An acquaintance recommended the Headspace app and I really like it. Hadn’t done any guided meditation before that. YMMV but I think mindfulness and meditation can be useful for anyone.

Then there are other types of inner work, such as learning empathy, or studying ethics and philosophy. I don’t really have any solid advice there. For ethics and philosophy, there are lots of books out there to further one’s knowledge and comprehension. It will expand the mind.

Some day I would like to acquaint myself with Nietzsche’s works, but so far I haven’t taken the time to do so.
