Hello world! How are we all doing today?! This week was a crazy week for discovery. I came home to Windsor this weekend to visit my family who I’ve been missing dearly. Upon entrance of the house, I notice my brother, really aggravated. I couldn’t understand what was wrong, this was new behaviour. I have a brother with high functioning autism, and he recently was taken off his Risperidone medication. I guess it was causing his hands to shake badly and this can result in a long term permanent shakes. The withdrawals, and his autism, have been causing him to act out more and be stressed out and upset. We talked for hours about our lives and how school was going- he told me that online classes are a huge challenge for him and he’s very worried and stressed. Typically he has an EA and many resources to help him succeed but this year he is all alone. I told him about my GH project and he liked my idea. What amazed me was that he agreed to stretch with me for the weekend! My brother ...

Welcome back! This week I set some silly goals, but to me I find them impressive. I want to perfect the scorpion pose, do the splits, and learn how to different types of handstands. Am I getting off topic...? Not really because it is up to me how I want to stretch and what I want to stretch. On my journey I want to have a little fun. Guess what?!?! I’ve been feeling much better mentally. I am now, for the most part, all caught up in school. Although assignments keep flying in, I’ve figured out a routine that’s been working well for me which is to just get them over with. I do my work as soon as it’s handed to me so that I’m not upset the day before it’s due. I ran my first facilitation and didn’t pass out from nervousness. I actually sat on my floor before the presentation and did some breathing exercises and some leg and back stretching to get my mind to calm down. This DID help a lot, but at the end of the day you can’t fix shy and I my heart was still beating fast thought ...
