I work entertaining with magic shows, dancing, party games at children’s birthday parties and school shows and people often ask me this question. I do have ADHD and have a natural liveliness and a desire to be physical and expressive. I have a YouTube about ADHD I called it “Lets go Lets go Baby!” And this is part of it; this positive self talk to get you into that high energy, high fun mindset. I am not dancing and being crazy all week. A lot of my business is doing emails, editing music, prepping props but on show days and even the day before I am beginning that process of psyching myself up.

I like to be well rested so I may go for dinner but will get an early night the day before a show, I’ll be up early, sometimes work out and be very fresh. Singing on the journey there help me a lot to get into that fun, high energy frame of mind. In your normal life a great tip is do not start the day with news like having the radio on a news channel. This is a major downer to get the day going. I wonder if I have a low blood sugar problem as I need to graze through the day and have snacks like nuts, bananas, dates, dark chocolate and the odd naughy bar like a Crunchie but I never buy a multipack as then I will binge on them!
