I made BudaeJjigae for my Friday night dinner! 🥘

Will enjoy it with Zero Sugar Soju :)

I didn’t intend to make Soju Slushie but I kept it in the freezer for too long 🤭 it turned out pretty good!

(I did hear that Soju Slushie is a new trend in Korea)

Journaling is a big help to me. I’ve had quite a bit on my mind lately and it has been playing with my mental state, so what better way than to decompress with jotting the thoughts down and clearing up some space in my brain. This is my therapy.!

Designing Autistic-friendly Homes: Key Features and Considerations

Our home is our happy place. It is a safe haven where you can relax after a long day and unwind in peace. But, as we know, everyone has their own definition of what a home looks and feels like. Some prefer it to have a modern, sleek design, while others would like a traditional look. Similarly, people on the autistic spectrum have their own preferences when it comes to housing ideas. Simply put a brick-mortar house with windows and ample light might not be their go-to choice.

Individuals on the autistic spectrum can feel overwhelmed by things like bright lights or loud noises. Therefore, designing homes for them requires careful thought and meticulous planning so that their unique needs and concerts are aptly met.

Read on to find out all the things you can keep in mind while designing a home for autistic individuals and how Salisbury Autistic Care is doing its part to make comfortable homes.

Lights, Colors & Sounds

Many people with autism are sensitive to their environment and may have a hard time processing information that they feel and see. This sensory overload can be really intense and overwhelming. That is why it is important to opt for soft, muted tones in colors and avoid harsh lighting or loud noises. It helps create a calm, soothing environment for them to relax and be at ease.

Additionally, incorporating tactile elements such as textured surfaces or soft furnishings can provide comfort and stimulation without overwhelming the senses.

Structured Spaces

Organization and structure help autistic individuals to focus better. Incorporating the same in the living spaces gives them a sense of predictability and routine. Therefore, having designated areas for different activities, such as sleeping, eating, and leisure, or for storing non-essential items, helps individuals with autism to process their environment more effectively.

Quiet Retreats are a Must!

Like everybody else, individuals on the autistic spectrum like their quiet, me time. This is especially true when they feel a sensory overload. A quiet corner or room helps them decompress and relax. Hence, these retreat spaces should be equipped with comfortable seating, dimmable lighting, and noise-canceling features to create a calming environment.

Finding a lot of pleasure in decompressing by scribbling away in my sketchbook with a biro. I find it interesting that when I am not thinking too hard about things, I tend to draw birds. And fish.

Brown Noise

OMG, thank you. In this cycle of political bs, terror, depression and anxiety... I have turned off the tv, staying away from most SM (especially news related - not that I'm burying my head in the sand or anything - I just need to tune the fuck out)...

...and for some reason I can't enjoy music right now either. My brain is still ticking away and I can't quiet it down.

Then along comes Brown Noise (lower tonality than Green/Pink and more soothing to me) and I'm just decompressing. It's like a pause switch for my brain where I'm not over-thinking every little thing.

How to Relax After Work

After a long day of work, finding time to unwind and relax is crucial for maintaining both mental and physical well-being. The fast-paced nature of modern life can leave you feeling drained, but learning how to relax after work is essential for recharging your energy and improving productivity for the following day. Whether it’s the stress from deadlines or the fatigue of constant meetings,…

we should all be given 11 July off as a holiday 😂 We deserve it after everything that's happened! We should have the Friday off too to decompress and dissect everything that happened at the gig 😂

National CATB day for all who celebrate this momentous occasion - where do we sign the petition? If we can have a national holiday for the king’s coronation it’s only fitting that we have one for our king coming back 😂

I personally need some alcoholic drinks and noodles after I get back from trips to decompress that night. I picked up some McNuggets on the way because I had to use their restroom lol. I haven’t had these in a while.

While looking at the menu, I noticed they added a couple of new dipping sauces:

The Nether Flame and Creamy Chili

My goto sauce is usually Honey Mustard & Ranch or Sweet 'n Sour, depending on my mood lol ��

Anyway, I hadddd to try 'em out :)

The Nether Flame sauce wasn’t spicy at all..lol tbh it wasn’t that flavorful.

It tasted like Red Hot Wings + ketchup.

The Creamy Chili was okay.

It tasted like… oh gosh..I forgot LOL I just remember it wasn’t that special 🤭

Anyway, pairing it with beer & noodles was 👍👍👍

I even tried eating my cup noodles the way Koreans used to eat them.

I think some people still eat it this way if they need a bowl or just for fun like me lol 😄

I used to eat them like that when I was a kid. I lived in Korea for several yrs when I was younger and my friends taught me how to eat cup noodles. One of my friends slapped my shoulder and was like, "What are you doing?? This is how you eat cup noodles!!!" 😆

It's super nostalgic for me and as I'm getting older… or aging? nostalgia hits even harder these days...! 🥹

Decompress, that's the word

Why won't they let me 😞

They don't need to coddle my emotions but pleasse don't make it so hard

I haven't gone places w ppl for a while... not this big of trip

Don't tempt me , drag me into some big conflict I'm not the same person, worse in some ways (collapse in unsleep and pain... just emerging... /isolated from covid , a bit unused to ppl irl even more than before despite some vol, not much less than before after 2021.. BUT more independent, assured in my beliefs.. able to advocate for myself), better in others
