We will.
Well, we think differently daily guys.
I've I got a video for you today.
I was thinking about this for awhile, right?
Thinking about like, what do I use as hacks when I go to shopping for
groceries or clothes or whatever, anything could be absolutely anything.
And there were a bunch of different things that I use what I do go out shopping.
So I decided to list out five of the best ones, permanent video, package
them all up and give them to you.

Okay.
So guys.
No anxiety is super common people on the spectrum.
I'm not going to sit here and lie about it, but yeah, everybody on
the autism spectrum will deal with anxiety at some point in their life.
And a lot of the time it's due to the fact when they go grocery shopping
or any kind of other shopping, those places are just no good.
So your boy has made some awesome hacks for you.
So the first one we're going to talk about and look at here is
headphones now to lower anxiety.
Yeah.
I like to bring headphones with me, usually noise
canceling headphones with me.
Um, and basically you, uh, block out all the other sound around you from
having these headphones on, because when you put these headphones on, it's
kind of like a, um, like it just sucks out all the noise, especially noise,
canceling headphones after all the noise around you, which is super, super dope.
And the reason that's super cool is because.
It like sets all the noise out from around you of using noise, canceling headphones.
It sucks out all the noise around you.
And then basically what you're left with then is just complete silence,
which is bliss when you're trying to shop in a shopping center.
So I always carry headphones with me either.
Um, my, I have like Apple AirPods, these small ones, or I have like the
bigger ones I put over my ears and they're just really, really good.
The big ones obviously work better than small in ear ones ones, but still
they're both really, really good.
And they're super dope.
So definitely check out.
Um, headphones, I'll leave a link actually for the ones that I used down below
if you guys want to really check out the ones I use, I'll leave a link to you.
Can we check them out?
So number two is best times.
So I actually, um, two having an anxiety attack in a, in a shop where
it's going to be busy and stuff.
What I do is I go on Google and I look out the store and I look
at the stores busiest times.
And then I look at the stores, not busiest times.
And those non-busy times is when I'll usually go to the store.
So it could be later on at night, it could be early in the morning.
But basically it's when the store has less people in them, Google
tracks people when they're installed.
So it tells you how, how many people are in the store at once.
So it'll give you an average of when's the busiest time and when's the busiest day.
Really cool.
You just type in the name of the store in Google and then boom.
It tells you exactly all the details that you need, which is super, super awesome.
Okay guys, number three is buddy up.
Now I talk about budding systems all the time, right?
And like, Buddying up is pretty amazing because it allows so much kind
of, um, versatility in what you do.
So anxiety can be a kicker, like if you're on your own and you're going shopping, but
what I like to do, I like to get, uh, you know, a person to come with me as a buddy
system so that I can rely on them for things like, you know, if you're out and
about, and you've got a buddy with you, then if you're having an anxiety attack,
They can take control if you have any needs issues, worries, or whatever, you
can rely on your buddy to help you out.
Cause they're there and they're with you in that moment in time.
So having a buddy is great.
I usually use my friend, Alex to come with me too when I go traveling.
But when I'm actually shopping, I take Nomi with me and me, and then
we go shopping or we go wherever.
And when it's not a global pandemic on, but yeah, but he systems
work on a really, really cool.
So number four is preparing, which is making a list of everything
you need before you go and then making a backup plan for that list.
So there isn't any, um, uh, like issues where if your plan doesn't go
to work, you've got a backup plan and then you use the backup plan, right?
So the preparation is the best way to avoid anxiety attacks.
Just, just hands down, just the best one ever.
And number five here is breathing.
Now look, if everything else fails and the, those things work and
you end up having a panic attack.
Then you just have to breathe.
Now, breathing is super, super awesome.
It's kind of like this, you, you breathe in for five, you hold it for
five and then you breathe out for five.
And when you're doing that, what's happening is that slowing down your heart
rate is slowing down your body so that you become a way more calm and way more aware.
And by doing that, you kind of reduce the anxiety because he's
just taking time to take a step back and just breathe a little bit.
This is a huge, the technique it's actually used in, in loads
of things like mindfulness and Buddhism and meditation, and yeah.
Yoga all these kinds of things.
That is a great technique.
I use it personally all the time with anything.
And if you don't really, we just try it right now and pause this video, try it.
And I bet you'll feel calmer then you did watching this video.
