Tyler is one of several celebrities that have found relief from ADD with a regular meditation practice
One of the benefits of meditation is a more focused mind and an easier time controlling your thoughts. This does seem to be right in alignment with what is needed to deal with issues like ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). When it is hard to get yourself to pay attention and focused, a regular and dedicated practice of meditation might be just what the doctor ordered. Within a culture that is quick to turn to medication, it can be worth it to try meditation as a natural and side effect free option. Live Tyler seems to be one of the growing number of celebrities to sing the praises of meditation as a way to deal with their ADD or ADHD diagnosis.

Search out a meditation practitioner in your area that can help you with getting started and perhaps give you some personalized techniques for getting through those first few minutes of quiet.
