Emotional Regulation Habit Stack
Emotional regulation habit stacks chain name-feeling, breath, water, and brief movement after stress so ADHD executive function can return to tasks.
An emotional regulation habit stack chains tiny downshift steps after stress spikes—name feeling, six slow breaths, water, two-minute walk—before returning to tasks. ADHD emotional intensity can hijack executive function; stacks must be practiced on small annoyances, not only meltdowns.
Keep steps under three minutes total.

When should you practice an emotional regulation stack?
Daily on minor frustrations so the sequence is automatic before big spikes. Waiting until crisis means the stack will not exist under load.
