Does Feminine Power exist?
I mean, I guess it does. Some women are very powerful. But I was thinking here about the coaching program created by Claire Zammit. I posted about it a few days ago – it’s apparently all to do with intuition. But I’m wondering, what about communication? If we’re making the same mistakes all the time, […]

Autistics in caring professions – The Guardian article
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/03/clients-say-it-feels-like-weve-always-known-each-other-the-mental-health-experts-who-believe-their-autism-has-turbocharged-their-work?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other That is a very interesting read.

I’m feeling very tired

Managing my emotions
As I said in my previous post I used to be interested in managing my emotions a lot in the past. Not that I noticed it brought me any benefits. At the same time I learned already that denying having difficult emotions is going to make me feel worse. Have anyone heard about emotional intelligence […]

My first fasting day
It’s 21.20 now and I will be going to sleep pretty soon. My first fasting day went well, I’m really pleased with myself. I managed to do grocery shopping and the fact that I’m fasting didn’t affect my food choices. Also, which is exactly the same experience I had when I first tried fasting when […]
Autistic and me
