Is it invalid to worry about your environmental impact as a person who lives on this planet (especially when loads of other people seem to live in ignorant bliss or openly just do not care)?

Not at all.

But as disabled people* I really think we should allow ourselves those accommodations we need/that would make our lives easier.

Bottled body wash lathers easier and saves you that tiny bit of energy while you're washing up? Can't seem take care of your bar of soap so it runs out fast because it's always wet and actively makes your bathroom harder to clean? You deserve to preserve your energy and keep yourself clean. Use it.

Bottled water means your executive dysfunction won't get in the way of you getting hydrated? Means you can keep water by your bed so you don't have to endure the physical pain of walking to the kitchen? Means your OCD symptoms won't prevent you from drinking water for hours-days at a time? You deserve to drink water without stressing. Drink it.

Paper plates and plastic utensils mean you get to eat without having to worry about dishes + prevents you from having an overwhelming sink full of every dish you own covered in rotting, smelly food that may even attract bugs and cause them to breed in your sink? You deserve to eat freely and live in a clean and safe environment. Use them.

Can't wash clothes on the regular let alone cleaning rags due to energy/executive function, ability, finances, ect.? Use paper towels. For whatever reason you need them. Spills so you don't take up your only clean towel and risk it sitting + developing mold and mildew. Wiping off your counters. Dusting. Drying your dishes. Drying your hands. I literally do not give a fuck. Use them!

Use frozen vegetables that come in plastic bags and frozen meals that come in single use plastic and floss sticks and plastic cups and precut fruit and veg and whatever little necessary 'convenience' you can think of that makes your life easier. Just because you Technically, Physically can pull it off doesn't mean you should and it's important we think about the consequences of our actions even if we're the only ones really impacted by them. You're important. And for a lot of us, these things are what makes the difference between Getting Things Done At All and sitting in shame because we can't bring ourselves to make our own everything and do everything the long or right way. We put too much pressure on ourselves to make up for what abled people aren't doing themselves. If Anybody deserves a break it's us.

Don't misconstrue this as discouragement from doing what you can or whatever, but I need all of us to be a lot more realistic about what impacts our lives and which trade offs are worth it for our own sake.

It's unfortunate that we don't have options for more sustainable resources when it comes to taking care of ourselves, but it shouldn't fall on us to choose between a significantly more difficult life or feeling guilt free. Advocate where you can for better treatment of the planet, and until that can happen-- non-disabled people can and should pick up the slack for us. They literally have that option and the impact they face is an infinitesimal inconvenience compared to the real health/quality of life consequences that build up in such a severe way over time. We deserve that little bit of leeway.

*disabled includes both physical and mental ailments on this post btw

27.08.2023 | I've spent most of this morning creating more reels for my Instagram. As much as I love doing it, I forgot how time consuming editing videos can be! Now, it's time for me to finish off one of my upcoming Notion templates (it's a travel planner, like the ULTIMATE travel planner) and do some revision ahead of my upcoming clinical placement starting this Tuesday. Hope you're all having a great day.

GUESS WHO GOT A VOICEMAIL ABOUT SCHEDULING MY TILT TABLE TEST

[fagm77]

how it feels sometimes being autistic and having a strong moral compass and black and white thinking when someone says something you disagree with

[darklydeliciousdesires]

This is why we must keep a notes app on our phone, besties.

Open phone, tap out the idea, tap out the random dialogue, plot twists, or anything else that comes to you.

Save, go to sleep.

Wake up et voila! You have a record of that great idea :)

Me when I hit that Creative high at 1.00 am in the morning and come up with the greatest story ever conceived...

And then... by the time I wake up... I've FORGOTTEN ALL OF IT.

Persistent pain in the lower back, buttocks, or thighs? Misdiagnosis is common—this could mimic sciatica but may stem from deeper neuro-fascial dysfunction.

🦋Hot tip I learned: via psychward🦋

Not every symptom of neurodivergence needs to be examined under a microscope and then. Exterminated!

Sometimes, if your Symptoms aren't ruining your life, making things harder for you, or getting you in trouble*, you can kinda just leave them turns out :)

In other words, it's not illegal or wrong to be neurodivergent, or be "weird" or "eccentric"

*that is to say, if your symptoms are legitimately non detrimental you're probably okay!

(I suggest bringing these things up to a TRUSTED medical professional who makes you feel safe and understood)

Foolproof method to maximizing your chance to enter the Void State

1)What is the Void State?

The Void State(also called pure awarness)isn’t a magical portal but rather a very specific neurological state.

- Brainwaves: High activity of theta (4-8 Hz) and alpha (8-12 Hz) waves.

- Executive control reduced: Your prefrontal brain (control center) slows down.

- Default Mode Network (DMN) suppressed: This is the network behind your daily inner monologue ("mental chatter").

- Sensory anchoring fades: You stop being strongly connected to your environment's sensations.

You enter a zone where your mind becomes deeply receptive and free from usual self-talk.

You’re no longer emotionally or sensorily anchored to your CR (Current Reality).

- Your brain becomes extremely open to suggestions, visualizations and reality reconstructions.

Why does Void allow fast shifting / manifesting?

- You’re no longer disturbed by internal contradictions of the critical mind.

- It allows your mind to install self-consistent assumptions into deep unconscious cognition.

- Cognitive filters like doubt, logic, and self-check go temporarily offline.

Useful comparisons to understand the Void State

- Deep hypnosis

- Relaxed hypnagogic paralysis (without panic)

- Samadhi meditative states

- light shamanic trance

- controlled dissociation

2) Understand the void state’s goal

The Void State is:

- Extreme dissociation from Current Reality (CR)

- Reduced self-talk / overthinking

- Increased alpha, theta, and sometimes delta waves.

- Easier access to deeply rooted unconscious assumptions and hypnagogic states

3) Preparation over multiple days (not mandatory but very helpful)

What most people don’t do enough:

- Mild cognitive stimulation deprivation during the day (limit screens, social media, complex discussions, heavy mental load)

- Sensory reprogramming: lots of nature, white noise, low frequency music

- Very stable sleep routine for several days before

- Voluntary dissociation training: observe your thoughts without judgment, practice floating gaze, passive micro-meditation

You can prepare yourself by listening to white noice the days before you will enter the void state

4) The underestimated physiological key: the body must be “under-activated”

- Avoid sugar, caffeine, or sensory excitement at least 4h before (if you can reduce screens 1h before, even better, otherwise use blue light filters)

- Very slow breathing (cardiac coherence): 4 seconds inhale / 6 seconds exhale for at least 10 min before

- Lower body temperature slightly (cooler room, warm showers beforehand)

- Comfortable position without muscle tension (but not so relaxed that you fall asleep completely)

This kind of video can be used as a preparation to ease critical thinking can be done just before or the days before in preparation

5) Powerful neuro-cognitive tips

WBTB (Wake Back To Bed):

- Wake up after 5 hours of sleep

- Stay awake 15-30 min doing light visualizations or affirmations, then go back to bed (best dissociation & REM window)

Use binaural or isochronic alpha/theta stimulation during the attempt

(e.g. start with 8 Hz then gradually lower to 4 Hz)

Very slow auto-suggestions during the attempt (not robotic affirmations)

Example:

“I am gently dissociating from my CR. Everything feels light. I am completely calm.”

Floating body technique:

Visualize your body becoming ultra-light, slowly losing all gravity (helps sensorimotor detachment)

You can use this kind of waves which help to enter the void more easily for most profile (unless you don't like sound)

6) The mistakes that ruin (or at least reduce) your chances

- Forcing mentally ("I must succeed tonight!")

- Over-analyzing affirmations into robotic repetitions

- Trying 50 different methods in a row without stabilizing a protocol

- Wanting too much to feel "mandatory symptoms" before entering the void (shaking, vibrations, etc.)

7)Long-term facilitating factors (often overlooked)

- Regular passive meditation practice (even 10 min/day, and it’s ok if you fall asleep)

- Therapeutic work on performance anxiety (fear of "not succeeding" is one of the biggest blockers)

- Cognitive flexibility and allowing space for the unconscious instead of "forcing logic"

- Highly dissociative profiles (DPDR, etc.) may have more ease without realizing it

8)The Void State as a space of interaction with the subconscious

The Void isn’t just a "portal to shifting" or manifestation:

It's a state where the critical barrier of the conscious mind is lowered.

→ You can access deeper unconscious layers.

Underused use:

→ Dialogue with your own subconscious.

You can:

- Ask yourself:

- "Are there unconscious resistances to my shifting?"

- "Do I have fears or blockages I don’t consciously recognize?"

- Let spontaneous impressions, images, sensations emerge.

- Observe without forcing: often answers come in symbolic form.

Inner acceptance is key

It’s not a fight of forced mental assumptions.

It’s a letting go where you allow the new reality to be integrated as inner evidence.

Many underestimate:

- That integration of your assumptions sometimes goes through unconscious internal verification.

- That blockages often come from unresolved internal conflicts, not lack of will.

Practical tip:

Before an attempt, gently set an exploratory intention:

“I am ready to hear what my unconscious wants to show me to move forward.”

This promotes cooperation instead of fighting your own psyche.

9)Important reality-check: not all brains are equal when it comes to entering the void state.

It’s crucial to understand that some people have a neuroplasticity, a natural dissociation, or a cognitive flexibility that allows them to enter the void much faster, sometimes even without any structured method.

For others, the process requires much longer conditioning. This doesn’t mean they are “inferior” or “less spiritually aligned”, it simply means their cognitive mechanisms are different.

Certain individual variables that greatly influence ease:

- Natural dissociation (DPDR, fantasies, mental absorption, immersive imagination )

- Ability to slow down self-tall (inner speech)

- Hypnagogia sensitivity

- Relationship to performance anxiety

- Level of attachment to results

Everyone theoretically has the capacity to access it, but the path isn’t identical.

This guide’s purpose is to give tools for those for whom it’s not “instantaneous”, without falling into guilt-based meritocracy.

Summary

- Calm the analytical hypercortex (ego, analysis, self-criticism)

- Emotionally stabilize(with calm, serenity, gentleness)

- Decrease attachment to immediate success

- Maximize hypnagogic and dissociative states

Happy shifting <3
