❌We Live BETTER THAN KINGS, Yet We Are STILL Miserable❌

🍭We live in comfortable times, safer than ANY time before in history🍭

Air conditioning, video games, sweet food… we have it all.

HOWEVER, this doesn’t make us happy…

… So what does?

It’s your PURPOSE in life!

Bad mental health can arise when you are doing something you know is bad for you in the long term.

You feel guilty for wasting your time and not doing what you know deep down is what you’re SUPPOSED to be doing!

Check out this video where I explain why we still don’t feel satisfied in times of such comfort:

Hope you work hard guys, and have a cracking day!

❌Pressure Is An ILLUSION❌

😬When your palms are sweaty, knees are weak and arms are heavy…😬

🏃‍♂️…you’re definitely feeling the pressure to perform!🏃‍♂️

But here’s the thing: the pressure you feel is correlated to the stress that gets to you, the expectations placed on your shoulders to perform well!

So if you just do it like any other day and not think about the “big event” (which is just a different social perception), then you can naturally overcome the pressure and actually enjoy what you do!

Check out this video where I explain this illusion of pressure, using my experience:

https://youtu.be/nz1glaFPm-0?si=Esxax...

Keep it up, and have a good one!

❌WE ALL FEEL WORTHLESS SOMETIMES❌

🧎Perhaps you’ll contemplate your opportunities, your wins, your losses, and you’ll reflect on what could’ve been…🧎

🎨⚽️Maybe you have an incredible talent for drawing art or playing football, but you haven’t practiced enough to be at the level that you want to be at: the very top!⚽️🎨

But it’s OK, because all that matters is that you are constantly growing and evolving from the moment you realise that you have to!

Use your fellow competitors to shape you into a better person in your select field of talent.

Use your strengths wisely, and become the best version of yourself!

Check out this video below for my perspective on my talents, and see if you relate while watching:

You are amazing! Have a great day!

❌Do You Struggle To Set Mental Deadlines To Get The Work Done?❌

There are many tasks in your life which don't have set deadlines (i.e. a passion project that you want to get done)...

... But you DON'T do them! Why?!

It's because you are not being told by anyone to do the work.

Who are you waiting for to approve you to start work?

Do you need approval from daddy?

Now that you are an adult (or becoming one) and you have things only you want to do, you need to take AUTONOMY over your own life!

If you struggle to set mental deadlines, please check out this video where I can help you to set mental deadlines to ACTUALLY get the work done:

You've got this! Have a great day!

❌DO NOT BE A VICTIM OF YOUR PROBLEMS❌

🦸‍♂️Having autism means having a SUPERPOWER, not a disability🦸‍♂️

💪It can GREATLY benefit your life if you decide to play to your strengths💪

Some amazing traits of autistic people include:

- Boundless creativity 🎴
- Obsessive goal completing 🏃‍♂️
- Incredible mental ability 🧠

And you decide to focus on your negative traits rather than your positive ones, just because a bully told you that you weren't good enough? Come on!

Surround yourself with people who ENCOURAGE you to use your talents rather than those who try and put you down for them, just because they were jealous.

And don't listen to those people who put you down, because they know NOTHING about you! You just have to not let the words get to your head.

As David Goggins would say: "STAY HARD!" 😂


Check out this video for more about overcoming limiting beliefs and an exercise to help overcome them too:

You are amazing! Have a great day!

❌Do NOT Beat Yourself Up For Not Starting Earlier❌

🧒How much better could you have known as a child?🧒

All around you on the internet, you see people who have surpassed you in at least one aspect of life.

You feel intimidated, even jealous of these people. How can they be better than me AND younger than me?

But you are forgetting something...

...They live a COMPLETELY different life to you!

They developed these specific skills over time, while you developed other skills.

You DOWNPLAY yourself for not being in their position earlier, despite learning different things growing up.

So DO NOT compare yourself to others!

Life is about learning what you do, at your own pace!

Check out this video where I explain why you should never compare yourself to others and how you can manage your negative self-image:

You are amazing! Have a great day!

❌Your FOMO Is HARMING You❌

📱The time when you got your first phone or iPad was probably the first time you felt FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), induced by social media📱

🏃‍♂️It looked like everyone was having loads of fun while you were just stuck doing NOTHING but scrolling. It made you just want to join in with them on the fun!🏃‍♂️

💥Needless to say… these posts, whether they are from your friends or celebrities you don’t know, are only the HIGHLIGHTS of their lives! In fact, they may have the EXACT same insecurities as you, but they just don’t show it!💥

Overall, they just want the exact same thing you want - attention!

You should learn to be content with what you have.

That way, you can overcome FOMO pretty easily, and enjoy your life to the point that you don’t even need to post about it anymore!

Check out this video where I describe this recent phenomenon of FOMO, giving an example of people worrying when they are without social communication:


https://youtu.be/Jnr5-V-0ZvE?si=eCYuT...

Don’t feel left out, and I hope you enjoy your day!

❌KNOWLEDGE IS POWER❌

📚…Which is why reading is such a powerful habit to enhance your understanding of the world📚

You can enjoy a good:

- Non-fiction book, learning about the world with real-life events, history and facts 🌍
- Fiction book, which may enhance your creativity and help you imagine scenarios you never thought were possible 🖼

Both of which will enhance your day-to-day experience by taking you away from your distracting devices and slow down the pace of the world, down to just simple lines on a page!

This can give you incredible peace of mind, relaxation and mental health benefits, and feed you brain with new lessons to add to your collection of knowledge!

Check out this video to see how books have enhanced my life experience and which books have enhanced my knowledge of the world. You never know, you could learn something incredible!

Hope you have a great day!

❌Autistic People Need FRIENDS❌

🤔A stereotype of autistic people is that they don’t have many friends. But that does NOT mean we don’t want them!

🏃‍♂️Us humans are social creatures, regardless of popularity and status amongst our community🏃‍♂️

Having friends can:

-Make you feel excited for the future 🤩
-Feel connected to others via trust 🤝
- Push you to be a better person 💪

Even people who appear to have less friends in their life would greatly appreciate having a friend, or at the very least a person interested in having a conversation with them.

And that can make ALL the difference in a person’s life. So what are you waiting for?

Check out this video where I describe how deeply having friends and people we can rely on matters to autistic people, given how differently we can act in social situations:

https://youtu.be/cGma8gXXYcA?si=9kKRw...

Go and see your friends and have a great day!

❌You Are The BEST At Something, You Just Don’t Know It Yet❌

📱You have certain skills and talents that you don’t know about because you spend almost all of your spare time on your PHONE instead of practicing and progressing in your skill📱

You never know! You could be:

- A wonderful artist 🖼
- An incredible musician 🎶
- A talented athlete 🏃‍♂️

But instead of practising these in your spare time, you probably spend most of your time on your phone because you don’t believe that practising your skill is worth much of your time, or you have low self-belief. You think that the phone is a better use of your time and is more rewarding. But you have to understand…

Practising and mastering a skill in pursuit for greatness IS the reward, and can heavily enhance the quality of your life and mental health, knowing you are actually good at something!

Check out this video in which I discuss how to realise your passion and actually enact upon it:

You are amazing! Have a great day!
