• 0:05
  In this podcast, I'm going to be talking about what motivates you
• 0:09
  and ways that you can help be motivated.
• 0:12
  And also sharing some motivational tips that I use
• 0:14
  every single day to help overcome issues with autism.
• 0:27
  I just thought this would be a really cool thing to do for
• 0:30
  this. I want to talk about what
• 0:31
  motivates you or what motivates me.
• 0:33
  So me personally, like, I love being motivated.
• 0:37
  I get super motivated and the drive for motivation is the
• 0:40
  driver being alive to ever get that kind of feeling that you
• 0:42
  like. Dang.
• 0:43
  I'm alive and this is such a good opportunity and like not
• 0:47
  many people get to experience this, you know, like loads
• 0:50
  people are alive, but I mean that experience of feeling,
• 0:52
  okay. I'm alive.
• 0:53
  Yeah. I know.
• 0:53
  It's an opportunity. I'm going to seize the day and
• 0:55
  actually do something about it and I feel So motivating, it's
• 0:58
  like the best thing ever. So to me what motivates me is
• 1:01
  being alive and also the idea the passion to do something
• 1:05
  amazing. Now a lot of people with like
• 1:07
  autism have issues where they get bogged down in the the
• 1:11
  anxiety and the depression and the negative thoughts.
• 1:14
  But on the contrary what you should do is focus on the things
• 1:16
  that you're amazing at. So, I know people are just like,
• 1:18
  absolutely phenomenal at Minecraft.
• 1:21
  They're absolutely outrageous at like naming.
• 1:24
  All the Pokemon in the world or knowing being like, the Put on
• 1:27
  something. Now.
• 1:28
  Those things are so unique to that person that I just say to
• 1:32
  them. Hey, you know, that could be
• 1:35
  your entire life or your passion.
• 1:37
  So, like, for me making YouTube videos, I just love what I do.
• 1:40
  I love making videos. I love making content of
• 1:42
  creating stuff and by doing that, I was able to make a job
• 1:45
  out of it, which help me out because I couldn't work the
• 1:47
  typical kind of job. And so it motivates me every
• 1:49
  single day to get up and go. Okay, how am I going to make a
• 1:51
  difference today? Because I'm helping people make
• 1:54
  a difference because I'm alive and I love that feeling of them
• 1:56
  came alive. And so to me, helping people is
• 2:01
  the second biggest movie. So I get up because I'm alive
• 2:03
  and I love that that motivates me to go to bed then how do I
• 2:06
  what do I do my work? How do I, how do I make this
• 2:08
  count? And that's exactly it.
• 2:09
  If you make your work account, every day is going to be
• 2:13
  motivating. So I'm helping people every
• 2:14
  single day and I'm trying to help improve lives improve
• 2:17
  conditions to change, people's ideas and things understand,
• 2:19
  educate Advocate. I just love, I just love it all.
• 2:23
  And when you love something like that, it's your biggest
• 2:26
  motivator. So if your Can a job and you
• 2:28
  absolutely despise, or you can issues with it?
• 2:29
  Because you have like, you know, an Autism Spectrum condition,
• 2:32
  then just get rid of that job and do something you're
• 2:35
  passionate about. Because there's that saying,
• 2:37
  isn't it that way, if you work a job, you love, you'll never work
• 2:40
  a day in your life. If you have a job, you love,
• 2:42
  you'll never work a day in your life.
• 2:42
  And it's amazing because it's not working to passion.
• 2:45
  And passion is just is everything.
• 2:47
  And the there was a very famous Zen Buddhist called Alan Watts,
• 2:50
  and he said something quite interesting.
• 2:51
  Once he said that I would rather live a short life filled with
• 2:55
  happiness than a long life filled.
• 2:57
  With misery because you can work a 95, a desk job, right?
• 3:00
  And it could just be sold a strong in a, never see a family
• 3:04
  and but you could live a very long life but you've been
• 3:06
  miserable the whole time, you're just prolonging the misery, but
• 3:09
  if you wanted to like, if you and your kids like really into
• 3:13
  skydiving and you know, 16 plus and they wanted to skydive or
• 3:18
  whatever. The age for skydiving is they
• 3:19
  wanted to do it then, you know, there's a potential that your
• 3:23
  life could be ended, really easy, and really quickly and
• 3:27
  That would be a tragedy, it would, but you'd be having the
• 3:30
  most fun, and living your life with those people that you love.
• 3:34
  And so, okay, that may not be the best analogy, but you can
• 3:37
  get on trying to say, if you don't worry about like the
• 3:40
  security of something just worried about the happiness in
• 3:43
  the love all that time, because I'll get you through it.
• 3:44
  And that's really what gets me motivated and passionate about
• 3:47
  stuff. I just just love that.
• 3:49
  I thought would be a really cool thing to including this.
• 4:00
  So I do want to talk a bit about like ways like hacks to motivate
• 4:03
  you. So motivation comes from the
• 4:05
  fact that you're you need to really have it in your head.
• 4:08
  You think like, what I'm going to do something now that I don't
• 4:10
  not not that, I don't normally do that.
• 4:12
  I want to do it. I want to go over it and I start
• 4:14
  right in the morning. How many times have you like a
• 4:16
  gun to get up in the morning? And you go.
• 4:18
  Oh, well, you know, the alarms gone and I could give myself
• 4:20
  five more minutes and five minutes or 15 minutes and it's
• 4:23
  half an hour. And then Have to like rush to go
• 4:24
  to the doctor, go to work or whatever.
• 4:26
  And you think to yourself, goodness.
• 4:27
  You know, how how much better do you feel when you go, you set
• 4:30
  your alarm clock for like 7 o'clock?
• 4:32
  You get up at seven o'clock. Yeah, I did it or you get it
• 4:35
  before the alarm clock and you stop it and then you get up.
• 4:38
  I mean, that's the battle we have in our heads in, are we
• 4:40
  going to stick to this kind of like rigid routine of trying to
• 4:44
  do over time? And not really it's difficult to
• 4:49
  explain but put it this way. It's like saying I really want
• 4:52
  to work out. We want to go to the gym, right?
• 4:54
  Right, but if you don't put off at all, I don't feel well today.
• 4:56
  Aren't I hit my background? I'm getting over a cold.
• 4:59
  So I don't go to the gym, but the time when you say no, that's
• 5:02
  it. I'm going to get up.
• 5:02
  I'm going to go to the gym. That feeling you've completely
• 5:05
  won the battle. So, everything else you do in
• 5:06
  that day. You're going to be way more
• 5:07
  confident and motivated to do it because it started off on that.
• 5:10
  First thing we needed to do. So, I always do this, if you are
• 5:13
  a late Riser or you have trouble getting up in the morning and
• 5:17
  you want to be more motivated about everything in life, then
• 5:20
  set your alarm clock early. Make sure you get up as soon as
• 5:22
  I want for buzzes, you get Get out of bed.
• 5:24
  Get your brackets, get your clothes on, and get ready for
• 5:26
  the day. Because taking that first
• 5:28
  decision, your day will make you way more productive for the rest
• 5:30
  of the day, which makes you more able and and adequate to do all
• 5:36
  the things that you want to do. So you like way more motivated.
• 5:38
  Like yeah, I got up really early, had a shower.
• 5:39
  I'm dope. I've had breakfast.
• 5:41
  It's not even 8:00 o'clock yet. So I'm gonna be able to smash
• 5:43
  work and get somewhere early. I can be something really.
• 5:45
  I can be more productive, being more productive.
• 5:47
  It builds confidence. It builds your ability to be
• 5:50
  more proactive in life. Not just in the things you want
• 5:52
  to do, like work or creations. Cetera.
• 5:54
  So this is one of the ways I do it and one of the facts that I
• 5:57
  use to actually make make progress on wanting to be
• 6:02
  motivated. Okay.
• 6:13
  So this is where I'm going to challenge you.
• 6:14
  Like make sure you know, what are you going to do?
• 6:18
  I'm going to challenge you. Like what is it that you want to
• 6:20
  do? What is it that you want to like
• 6:22
  hack? What is it that you want to be
• 6:23
  motivated for now? Ask yourself this.
• 6:25
  Can I do those things easily and are they accessible to me?
• 6:29
  Am I just being lazy? And I would just being kind of
• 6:31
  like procrastinating Etc. So if the answer is yes, to
• 6:34
  those things. Then what you need to do
• 6:36
  tonight, is you set your alarm clock, get up early in the
• 6:38
  morning. And then you attack the day like
• 6:40
