how to get out my own head

aurelis

Heya,

I just wanted to share for some advice. As someone with autism, my mind is so stuck inside itself. It runs away with itself and I can’t catch up with it sometimes. I want to be able to operate with the affairs around me, and have some more discipline. I’m used to taking lots of things on, and then cramming last minute to complete them. It’s worked well for my life, but i reached a breaking point this year, and realised I lacked routine. It’s a challenge, but I’m trying to get more discipline in my life so I’m not just in my own head all the time. I don’t enjoy this. 

any advice on how I can get out of my head?

  • I find lists work well for me. I find that when I put things down on paper I don't have to juggle so much in my head so I can let them go. You can put numbers next to them for urgent,  not so urgent and I'll get around to it sometime when I've got nothing else to do. The problem is remembering to look at the lists so that I get stuff done lol.

    lists used to be a love hate relationship for me. I write notes and then misplace them, and have a strong pull to turn back to thinking things through in my head. Before lists used to be me dumping every single thing on them, and then becoming overwhelmed and not able to sustain the list.
