Recently, I saw a touring production of the musical Dear Evan Hansen. I enjoyed it, despite not liking the movie version. I thought it would be unique/fun to reflect a bit on what can be learned from this show. I will be basing this off of the stage production, not the movie version of this story, because the stage production is more fresh in my mind. But, I suspect these lessons/reflections could apply to both.

The title of this blog post asks a unique question. No, I am not asking if you hear music in your head as you go about your day. What I am asking is: Do you use music to help you throughout the day? Do you play music as you go about the day? I use music quite a bit throughout the day, and I believe it is a great aid to those of us with ADHD.

“Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,” or so the old saying goes. There’s an element of truth to that. Music can affect our mental state. If we find the right uplifting songs, we can use music to calm our brains or relax, two things ADHDers could use from time to time.
