So yeah, a little hack to help you alleviate a load of stress.

And where are we now?

Don't feel any shame about going to the same place if you like it.

The same restaurant, the same cafe.

Yeah, you know, if you like the place, if you like the menu, if you like the vibe, if you like the chairs, the texture of the place, the smell, what they...

offer food like don't feel shame if you go to the same place every time huge amounts of stress sometimes feeling like you have to go to a new place find a new restaurant study a new menu you know a huge overstimulation if you like a place and it suits you and suits your brain then there's no shame in repeating it over and over again same with films and songs yeah i do the same with this cafe down the road and now i know all of them

So when's your... Exactly, yeah.

We should do an episode about when you're going to get an autism diagnosis.

Yeah.

ever because i'll let them i feel like a letdown then if i say i want something different then they'll all get really upset as if they did it wrong the first time uh right number five use music to help transition between tasks really simple one if you're stuck between finishing one task and starting another put on your favorite song it will give you dopamine it will increase the flow and you'll be straight on to them the new tasks before you even know it

So putting a song on as you're approaching the end of one task to give you an uplift in mood, give you dopamine to help you transition into starting a new task, which again, it might look like a huge uphill battle.

But if there's a music playing in the background that really connects with you, it will glide you into the next task with ease.

And I didn't realize I'm going through a big Les Miserables stage at the moment in particular stars.

Oh yeah.

From Java.

He sings it.

Um, number four, number four is I don't wear jewelry.

Um,

I don't wear jewelry.
