- Have you ever heard the phrase 'if it's not hurting, it's not working'?
Has anyone ever told you to 'just get on with it' or scolded you for staying in your comfort zone?
As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, I have had to come to terms with and own the fact, that I spent most of my life being my own bully and hard taskmaster. I used to pride myself on my discipline and focus and have achieved many measures of outward success because of my attitude. However, I've also 'achieved' a lot of pain, dissociation, trauma and sleepless nights thanks to my misconception about discipline and my focus on objective measures rather than holistic satisfaction.
Long story short I was my own 'soul-sapping person'.
Now I know better, I strive to do better and I've not only changed myself but am also working on changing how I relate to others AND how I recognise, process and handle life surrounded by the many other people who are like my old self. I share my process in this video along with other reflections and musings you may find useful and/or interesting. It's great to have your company on this ride we call life so please feel free to pop. your ideas, comments and reflections down below. Also check out the Soft White Underbelly RUclips channel referenced in my video. Take care and remember, your life is about you.
yes, it took discipline to get up and go to my yearly physical appointment with a blood draw. now I've got my feet up on a picnic table with a big glass of water and I'm enjoying the beautiful weather and your video.
Watching your videos and listening is one of my favorite healthy narcissistic treats. I feel so beautifully reflected. It's a rare experience. Thank you. By the way, I'm 73 years old and while I've not been diagnosed as ASD my psychologist has not discouraged my attending to myself as if I were.
Thank you Amanda 🙏
"Window of tolerance is low"?
Build up your window? what?
A window is to look through.
What psychological word salad.
You don't seem to like my content very much so I suggest you don't watch it as reading your negative comments is not enriching my enclosure one bit.
Bed in background is not what I want to see.
Well don't look then
