Fast-paced and constantly changing prog for ADHD?

I haven't posted in a while here? I have ADHD so sometimes I drift off into another world when listening to music because I'm bored (this is the undesired drifting off, unlike the very mentally into the song kind of drifting). So prog naturally suits my need for divergent and unique melodies/instruments etc. but sometimes even prog doesn't get the job done! I am requesting some music that will keep me on my toes, has lots of different tempos, themes, vocal sections (no instrumentals please) and dynamics, and enough contrast between eclecticness and beauty. I am a big 70s decade fan, so that time period is more likely to be interesting to me; as well as my appreciation for all languages of vocals and any length of song to clarify the broad scope of this request, I believe you will find great stuff for an unfocused mind like my own!

Perhaps Gojira or Meshuggah is your thing or Dillinger Escape Plan

At times, I prefer instrumental music with time changes and discordant sounds, but I don't necessarily listen to be engaged---more to be kept "busy" if that makes sense. My recommendation from the 70s is Balletto di Bronzo's Ys.  I also like listening to Tool while wearing headphones.

I have adhd also and always wondered why I was so into prog considering that it can be challenging and complex music.

From the 70's, one the you might like and haven't yet checked out is Gnidrolog.

Thank you, FoxProg, Icarium, mathman and AFlowerKingCrimson!

I still practice yoga twice a day. Yoga also helped against some aspect of my Asperger syndrome, which was bad body coordination. This has drastically improved due to my practice of yoga, and now my body coordination is no longer bad but way above average.

That's supposed to be very good at helping with balance. I took a tai chi class once. I have taken yoga classes also but find it challenging especially since I have back issues.

Thanks BaldJean and BaldFriede. I'll look into hatha yoga. I have heard of those and also Vinyasa. I actually lived next door to a Yoga studio for a few years but only went three times(once was a deep breathing session). The woman who ran it was a bit of a phoney. I didn't really care for her.
