Six simple rituals: 1. Drink a glass of water when you wake up. Your body loses water while you sleep, so you’re naturally dehydrated in the morning. A glass of water when you wake helps start your day fresh. 2. Define your top 3. Every morning ask yourself, “What are the top three most important tasks that I will complete today?” Prioritizes your day accordingly and don’t sleep until the Top 3 are complete. 3. The 50/10 Rule. Solo-task and do more faster by working in 50/10 increments. Use a timer to work for 50 minutes on only one important task with 10 minute breaks in between. Spend your 10 minutes getting away from your desk, going outside, calling friends, meditating, or grabbing a glass of water. 4. Move and sweat daily. Regular movement keeps us healthy and alert. It boosts energy and mood, and relieves stress. 5. Express gratitude. Gratitude fosters happiness. Each morning, think of at least five things you’re thankful for. In times of stress, pause and reflect on these things. 6. Reflect daily. Bring closure to your day through 10 minutes of reflection. Asks yourself, “What went well?” and “What needs improvement?”

Hey guys :) Since it is Autism Acceptance Month, Jordan and I have decided to post mainly about Autism this month

These are some general facts about Autism, different types of Autism, and some well-known people who have it :)

To clarify: Autism is a developmental disability, not a mental illness

April is Autism Awareness Month and the neurological disorder is still vastly stereotyped in a way that’s harmful to those who live with it every day. Here are four myths about autism that we need to address with corrective facts to end the stereotypes.

Myth: People with autism lack warm emotions. Fact: Many people with autism feel empathy deeply, sometimes deeper than neurotypical people, but sometimes lack the neurological ability to express it normally to others.

Myth: It’s impossible to have a warm relationship with people who have autism. Fact: Following signals and letting the person with autism take the lead in conversations and interactions can help them relate to you in a way that will prosper a deep, mutual bond.

Myth: Only people with autism can experience the symptoms of autism. Fact: Autism exists on a continuous spectrum, so even those not diagnosed with autism can experience symptoms associated with the disorder. It has no rigid “cut-off.” In other words, autism “shades imperceptibly into eccentric normality,” as English psychologist and autism expert/author Lorna Wing put it.

Myth: All autism organizations are supported by autistic people. Fact: Some large-scale autism awareness organizations are often criticized by autistic people for shutting out their voice

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference

things you can do when you are overwhelmed from school, responsibilities, and demands of life in general :)

1. plan out everything from events and activities to homework and due dates at the start of every week

2. break down big assignments into smaller steps that are easy to do and non-intimidating

3. light a candle whenever you can

4. take time for yourself and put on a face mask at least once or twice a week

5. treat yo’ self to little things every month

6. take a bath every now and then (bonus points for using a bath bomb)

7. make school fun again by getting some new school supplies or a new planner

8. be honest with yourself and the people around you when it’s time to get help with a school subject you’re struggling in

9. listen to me, do not beat yourself up over procrastination. everyone says that it’s the bloody end of the world to procrastinate, but i promise it’s not. in fact, studies have shown that some people are in fact more productive when they procrastinate. regardless, just do whatever works best for you and don’t worry about the haters.

10. watch a funny tv show or movie

11. hangout with friends

12. listen to happy music

13. clean your room and desk

13. go outside

14. when you start to feel overwhelmed/stressed/anxious remember that:

- you’re not alone

- you will get through this

- a bad grade or late assignment is not the end of the world

- this homework assignment does not define you

15. cuddle a cat/dog/human if you can

16. keep your focus on positive future events (spring break, graduation, etc.)

17. take each day as it comes, go with the flow, and don’t get overwhelmed by what the rest of the week has in store. one day at a time, my friend. just get through today.

18. strive for the best and do your best work at all times

19. remember why you want to succeed and do well

20. remember that perfection is an unattainable goal
