• 0:21
  ways that you can help improve your life and the autism
• 0:23
  spectrum. And these are the things that
• 0:25
  I'm doing daily in my life. Check it out guys.
• 0:28
  What's going on? My name is Dan.
• 0:29
  I have autism, ADHD, OCD, and dyslexia.
• 0:31

• 0:44
  Oh yes, guys, what's going on? It's good to have you here and
• 0:47
  see all of you lovely people again, I wanted to do this video
• 0:49
  because I'm, I'm really set. Like my mind is set.
• 0:52
  I'm like this year I'm going to nail it.
• 0:53
  I'm going to like absolutely beast mode, everything from my
• 0:56
  work to my personal life to my hobbies to every single thing.
• 0:59
  And I wanted to share these with you.
• 1:00
  So here are the four best ones I kind of come up with right now.
• 1:03
  So the first one is brilliant. Brilliant is a non prescription,
• 1:07
  non addictive homeopathic medicine which is designed for
• 1:09
  autistic people on ADHD people, which is basically this really
• 1:13
  awesome medicine that is so much more kind of clean because
• 1:18
  there's no nasties in it. It's kind of like a no brainer
• 1:19
  because if you want to take something that's like super, you
• 1:22
  know more natural than your average kind of medicine and you
• 1:25
  know you don't want to kind of go to the doctor and get a
• 1:27
  prescription and all this kind of stuff.
• 1:29
  Brilliant is the one because it helps with focus.
• 1:30
  It helps maintain kind of like calmness and focus in your life
• 1:35
  because because it reduces anxiety, reduces restlessness
• 1:38
  and irritability. And all of those things come
• 1:41
  into ADHD, right? And so when I'm trying to like,
• 1:44
  sit down and focus on something and ADHD is going bonkers in the
• 1:46
  background, I'm like, ah, you know, I need some help.
• 1:48
  So brilliant does that for me. I take it three times a day.
• 1:51
  It kicks in after about three to four weeks, but you take it
• 1:54
  three to four times a day. And honestly, guys, I swear by
• 1:56
  it. I even did like a testimonial on
• 1:58
  my channels. And how could it is Even so that
• 2:00
  I'm an ambassador for them now because I work with them because
• 2:02
  I'm just me. It's a miracle.
• 2:04
  But if you want to try it, I'll also consult with your doctor
• 2:07
  before doing so, obviously. But there is a 15% off using
• 2:11
  SP15 as a code down below. It'll be LinkedIn, this video
• 2:15
  down below, but definitely check it out.
• 2:16
  OK, so #2 is early work now. I'm a sucker for this.
• 2:19
  I get up at like 6:00 AM on my kid and he just like wants to
• 2:23
  play about and have breakfast and stuff like that.
• 2:25
  And so I'm and I don't really kind of start working till like
• 2:28
  9 because we do like the school run and then I'm back in.
• 2:30
  But then like, I'm sitting here from six until like half eight
• 2:34
  doing nothing, which is like watching my kid goof about.
• 2:36
  And so I'll like be lazy and like take a nap or whatever.
• 2:39
  I'll just like not like a real nap just goes off like a cat nap
• 2:42
  on the sofa. And I'm thinking myself the
• 2:44
  whole time, oh man, like I feel super lazy right now, but not
• 2:47
  just super lazy, just super unproductive.
• 2:49
  So I just, I did that whilst my kid is is, you know, playing
• 2:53
  about. I mean, I can still play with
• 2:54
  him and I've got my mobile on me, so I've got my iPhone and
• 2:56
  I've got my iPad on me. Then I could just kind of like
• 2:59
  maybe do bits of work before, like prepping all the emails,
• 3:02
  prepping all the kind of stuff in my Trello, because I work in
• 3:04
  Trello. Like if I prep all those things
• 3:06
  beforehand, then maybe I'd get more done and be more
• 3:09
  productive. And you know what?
• 3:10
  I tested this and it works brilliantly.
• 3:12
  Like it's absolutely fantastic finding ways to implement work
• 3:16
  between the hours where you just probably do nothing.
• 3:20
  Like you know when I'm working out, when I'm running, I listen
• 3:23
  to audiobook try to to learn things.
• 3:25
  So that's kind of like a Dead Space for for listening.
• 3:27
  So I kind of trying to optimize those spaces.
• 3:29
  So it's all about, you know, if you're getting up at 6:00 AM
• 3:32
  just to kind of put on the TV and drink coffee, then why don't
• 3:35
  you put the TV on for the kids If they want TV on and then you
• 3:38
  do some work or do some productive work on a side
• 3:40
  hustle, you could do absolutely anything.
• 3:41
  What this does is set you up for a awesome day because you're
• 3:45
  setting yourself up for success because you've hit the ground
• 3:48
  running. You are not, you know, telling
• 3:50
  yourself you're lazy. You're not telling yourself that
• 3:51
  you're not productive if you're actually doing something
• 3:53
  productive and that stays with you all day.
• 3:54
  It's kind of like that thing when you wake up and you do, you
• 3:56
  know, you make the bet and then the bed's kind of made.
• 3:58
  And so it gives you like, a good mindset.
• 4:00
  It's that kind of idea. OK, so #3 is something I've
• 4:03
  talked about before, but this is a strong mind versus strong
• 4:06
  body. Now, if you have a strong body,
• 4:08
  you will have a strong mind. And I do suffer from mental
• 4:10
  health issues as well as having autism and ADHD.
• 4:14
  Mental health creeps in, in all facets of my life, and it is
• 4:16
  probably one of the most debilitating things ever,
• 4:18
  especially OCD. But if you have a very strong
• 4:20
  mind, then you can quite easily overcome things to a certain
• 4:26
  extent. Now I love to work out, so one
• 4:29
  of the things I do is I have a gym in my house and I never
• 4:31
  really use it because I go running on the street.
• 4:33
  But if I use some of the weights and stuff in the house, then get
• 4:36
  a stronger body. But it's more than just that.
• 4:38
  Because yes, working out and having a workout plan is good,
• 4:40
  but it's more than that, it's having time to work out when you
• 4:44
  can like. So what I'm doing right now is
• 4:46
  anytime I feel like I'm doing nothing and waiting for
• 4:48
  something and I've got like 5 minutes or three minutes, I'll
• 4:51
  drop and do pushups. Because if I do pushups then I'm
• 4:54
  increasing my my endurance for pushups, but I'm also increasing
• 4:58
  my strength. And it's just an all wrong, good
• 5:00
  thing to do. Or if I'm going to bend down to
• 5:02
  pick something up, I'll squat when I do it.
• 5:03
  If I'm going to walk somewhere, I'm going to walk with purpose
• 5:06
  and pride and and walk with with haste so that I'm actually
• 5:09
  getting a workout in. It's it's sliding in, you know,
• 5:12
  working out or strong body into your everyday life, which is
• 5:15
  absolutely fantastic and it works an absolute treat.
• 5:18
  OK, so #4 is commitment to improving.
• 5:21
  Now if you are like me, then you will lack motivation and when
• 5:25
  you lack motivation you lack confidence, right?
• 5:27
  And that happened to me a lot. I got so swamped with like
• 5:30
  making videos and and just kind of I just fall behind on on
• 5:34
  other things like making new products or making new courses
• 5:37
  for people, which I'm really into.
• 5:39
  I wanted to start a new coaching group with people on a
• 5:41
  membership and stuff like that. And I want to get all these off
• 5:43
  the ground this year, which I'm really excited about because it
• 5:46
  opens the community up to loads of cool things.
• 5:47
  But you know my commitment to improving.
• 5:51
  You know the quality of my work is degraded because I'm so
• 5:54
  bogged down with editing videos. But I've delegated those tasks
• 5:57
  out now and I have a team working with me.
• 5:59
  So the idea behind this is that I will commit to improve my the
• 6:04
  project so that it doesn't weigh on me, so I don't get lack of
• 6:06
  motivation and I don't get lack of confidence.
• 6:08
  I want to be on it confident and doing those things.
• 6:11
  So make sure that anything that you're putting off because
• 6:13
  something else is taking a bit of time, find a way to delegate
• 6:16
  that piece of time out so that you can then actually work on
• 6:19
  the things that you want to work on so you don't feel lazy and a
• 6:21
  productive, you actually feel really motivated and this will
• 6:23
  build confidence and you will win every time.
