Autistic This Is Why YOU Procrastinate - (My 7 Warning Signs) · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

• 0:00
  So you have a question if you are experiencing autism inertia.
• 0:03
  So here are 7 early warning signs of autism inertia.
• 0:05
  And if you're not quite sure what inertia is, I'm going to
• 0:08
  cover that too. All right, let's get into it.
• 0:11
  OK guys, so inertia is taken from the word inertia that
• 0:15
  Newton's laws of emotions was defined that the law of inertia
• 0:19
  or the experience of inertia is an object in motion can't just
• 0:24
  move or or deviate from the path that it's on because it's moving
• 0:27
  to a vacuum of space without exterior pressure or or you
• 0:31
  know, some of the energy that's coming in.
• 0:34
  So the thing just carries ongoing without any deviation
• 0:37
  from the path. And the opposite is also true.
• 0:39
  An object that isn't in motion can't just suddenly start moving
• 0:42
  without any exterior force, right?
• 0:45
  So the moment of inertia means that we are not moving through
• 0:49
  space or we are not doing something that we should do.
• 0:53
  And this happens for autistic people like this.
• 0:55
  The moment of inertia can happen if you're hyper focused on a
• 0:58
  project or a thing to do, where you are so focused on something
• 1:03
  that you can't deviate from it and you end up just hyper
• 1:06
  focusing on that one thing, which is kind of fun.
• 1:08
  But the opposite is actually really detrimental where we need
• 1:12
  to start something or we need to start many things and we never
• 1:15
  get round to it. Why?
• 1:17
  Because we have too many things on our To Do List and we're
• 1:21
  knackered. We hit the moment of inertia,
• 1:22
  nothing happens. But how do we know that we're
• 1:24
  experiencing inertia and what can we do about it?
• 1:27
  So I'm going to explain the seven warning signs of autism
• 1:30
  inertia. And if you relate, you have to
• 1:32
  give this video a thumbs up. And also at the end, I'm going
• 1:34
  to tell you how you can rock yourself out of inertia.
• 1:36
  And it's pretty amazing. It's actually super simple and
• 1:40
  all you have to do is follow what I say in this the end of
• 1:44
  this video and you'll instantly rock yourself out of inertia.
• 1:46
  But the step by step guide to help you along the way can be
• 1:49
  downloaded by the click down below or you can just go to
• 1:52
  theaspyworld.com/inertia which is spelled INERTIA.
• 1:59
  And I will have a free PDF download checklist so that you
• 2:03
  can get yourself started to rock yourself out of this kind of
• 2:05
  moment of like I have things to do, but I can't.
• 2:08
  OK, so number one is you will feel a lack of motivation or
• 2:12
  your motivation will dip, meaning your motivation will
• 2:14
  just feel like it's just falling off the edge of the earth.
• 2:15
  Why? Because you're not able to start
• 2:18
  something. And if you're not able to start
• 2:19
  something, it starts to reverse. It's kind of like walking
• 2:22
  forwards and you stop and you suddenly start walking backwards
• 2:25
  and you just can't stop because the momentum is pulling you
• 2:28
  backwards. So you feel a motivation dip.
• 2:30
  You have no motivation to do the things that you want to do.
• 2:32
  And your To Do List has like 27,000 things on it.
• 2:35
  Actually you probably have several to do lists and you want
• 2:37
  to get started on the main one and you can't.
• 2:40
  And your motivation for it disappears.
• 2:42
  This is a big sign that you're hitting inertia.
• 2:45
  Procrastination increases. So #2 procrastination hits in.
• 2:48
  You start doing, you're like, I've got this big list to do.
• 2:50
  So I'm just going to do the laundry and the ironing and the
• 2:53
  dishes and cook dinner for the next 6 months and take the dog
• 2:56
  for a walk and my neighbour's dog for a walk.
• 2:57
  And then go and see my friend Charlie, make sure he's, he's
• 2:59
  doing OK. And now I'm going to go to the
• 3:01
  grocery store, pick up some more groceries.
• 3:02
  Just cooked six months worth of grocery.
• 3:04
  You get the idea. You just do too many things and
• 3:07
  you fill your time with other things rather than thing you
• 3:09
  should be doing 1st. And that's kind of a really
• 3:13
  interesting warning sign or signal for this now #3 is a
• 3:17
  depressive state starts to kind of come over you.
• 3:20
  You start to feel guilty for not doing the thing that you wanted
• 3:23
  to do or try to do or need to do.
• 3:25
  And. Behind me is awards that I have
• 3:27
  won. You know, from MIT, YouTube, we
• 3:29
  go Health, Autism Hero award, Business Smart Award.
• 3:31
  All these things happen because I became more confident than I
• 3:34
  ever imagined. I actually was not confident for
• 3:38
  many years. Now I have put together a free
• 3:41
  download where you can take training from me for free to
• 3:44
  build up your confidence, lower anxiety.
• 3:47
  And actually. Just make life better for
• 3:49
  autistic adults and this is where it covers you Can progress
• 3:51
  without doubt even if nothing worked before.
• 3:53
  Boost energy without having to need more spoons, even if you're
• 3:56
  running an anti. Be social while overthinking it.
• 3:58
  Fit in society without losing yourself, even if you feel
• 4:02
  alienated, and speaking confidently without
• 4:04
  misunderstanding. If people don't get you right,
• 4:06
  all you need to do is go to the website.
• 4:09
  WWW dot. Bulletproofbrain.org right now
• 4:13
  and download your free pack from me.
• 4:18
  Link is also in the description of this video.
• 4:20
  And if you're watching on Instagram, all you have to do is
• 4:21
  comment Brain and I'll DM it to you.
• 4:24
  Watching on Facebook? If you comment Brain, I'll
• 4:26
  comment back with a link to directly download this.
• 4:28
  And then you start feeling kind of like a self doubt and, and,
• 4:31
  and depressive. I can't rock out of it.
• 4:33
  And oh, which then also starts draining your dopamine and so #4
• 4:38
  everything makes you irritable. So everything that you are
• 4:45
  experiencing like somebody talking to you, you know, the
• 4:47
  person next to you in, in the, the line at the post office or
• 4:51
  the smell of something or, or a noise outside or your dog or
• 4:54
  your kids, whatever, everything just starts to annoy you.
• 4:56
  Everything makes you irritable. You're like, and you become like
• 4:58
  jittery and angry about everything.
• 5:00
  It's because you are now starting to stab your body or
• 5:02
  dopamine because you need to start the task that you want to
• 5:07
  do to get the dopamine right. And so this also leads me out to
• 5:10
  #5 which is you start craving junk food.
• 5:12
  Why? Because junk food and, and like
• 5:14
  chips and burgers and, and like crisps and, and pretzels and
• 5:17
  stuff like that and doughnuts, those things give you a instant
• 5:21
  hit of gratification of dopamine, which is like the
• 5:23
  happy homo, right? Which you're desperately needing
• 5:26
  to fill because you're wanting to do this list.
• 5:28
  But then you've hit all the other things and you're not
• 5:30
  doing your list. And basically now dopamine
• 5:31
  starved more so than you would have been anyway.
• 5:33
  Because autistic individuals and ADHD individuals are starved of
• 5:36
  dopamine anyway because they are dopamine deficiency.
• 5:39
  OK, so number six is you start isolating yourself from your
• 5:42
  friends and family because you have self doubt or feelings of
• 5:44
  self less worth and having worthlessness feelings.
• 5:49
  It makes you want to isolate from people because you don't
• 5:51
  want to be around other people because you're like, you know, I
• 5:53
  don't want to be around other people as you're going to
• 5:55
  reflect how bad I am in my life, which is not true.
• 5:57
  It's just that you start of dopamine and you need to get on
• 5:59
  with your out of inertia issue. And #7 is the thought of what
• 6:04
  you need to do becomes scary and worrisome, which causes anxiety.
• 6:09
  And well, it doesn't help with the depression of the junk food
• 6:11
  eating or any of these variables actually.
• 6:13
  So all seven of those things together create what I like to
• 6:16
  call the inertia jumpsuit. And then I said jump.
• 6:20
  The inertia jumpsuit is basically the suit that you
• 6:22
  start zipping on and putting on until you put it on and you're
• 6:25
  sitting there full of inertia issues that have happened
• 6:28
  because you haven't taken the action.
• 6:29
  Now let's get to the good part. How do we get out of this?
• 6:32
  How do we take off the inertia jumpsuit?
• 6:34
  The easiest way to do this is to follow exactly what I say.
• 6:38
  You have A to do list with everything on there right now.
• 6:40
  Put everything into one list, and even if you've got 25 items
• 6:43
  on the list, I don't care. Put everything on that list.
• 6:45
  Now I want you to go through that list on one sheet of paper
• 6:48
  and look at everything on that list.
• 6:50
  Find out which one of those things, if you were to complete
• 6:53
  that first, would bring you the biggest satisfaction straight
• 6:59
  away. So it could be anything.
• 7:00
  If you're like, oh, you know, getting a job is going to give
• 7:03
  me the biggest satisfaction because it's going to be the
• 7:05
  biggest reward. That's the first thing I need to
• 7:06
  do, right? That's the one I should be doing
• 7:07
  first. OK, so get that you're finding a
• 7:09
  job, take that off your list, get a new piece of paper and
• 7:11
  write that on the top of it. Now I need you to put in the top
• 7:14
  right hand corner the date in which you want to complete this.
• 7:17
  By then I need you to write out all the steps in which you need
• 7:20
  to do in order to complete that main task or finding a job.
• 7:25
  So it could be writing out a resume and getting references,
• 7:28
  looking at job websites, applying for jobs, going to
• 7:32
  interviews, buying new interview clothes, all those things,
• 7:34
  right. And then every single day until
• 7:37
  that completion date, I want you to do one of those tasks on that
• 7:41
  white paper. Now, not until you've finished
• 7:43
  all of the tasks on that one thing and completed this, are
• 7:47
  you then allowed to move on to another item on that list.
• 7:49
  And when you do that, the same process follows.
• 7:51
  Look at the next one. Now, which one's going to be the
• 7:53
  most satisfaction and gratification after this?
• 7:56
  Boom, put on a new piece of paper and follow the same
• 7:58
  process. Now, the beauty is, guys, you've
• 8:00
  just rocked yourself out of inertia because you've already
• 8:03
  started moving yourself through space by creating these lists.
• 8:06
  And by creating those lists, you're not no longer in inertia
• 8:09
  because you're doing something about it.
• 8:11
  And the momentum will happen Once you start crossing one
• 8:13
  thing off your list, you want to start crossing other things off
• 8:15
  because those give you dopamine. You're welcome, a guy.
