My Manifestation journey continued

  So, I must just get this out of my system, and I am seeing why I am not manifesting what I want in my life. The first one is I am not putting in the work, so the meditation to find the blockages in my life as are becoming very apparent to me, and some things I can’t control but others I can, and I am willing to tell you why. In my house (I live in what is called a SIL house, this is short for Supported Independent Living) it’s a type of housing for people with disability but is more for people with mental health needs or like myself psychosocial disabilities. So, people who would otherwise fall between the cracks in support, but we have one support worker that through the virtue of her relationship’s in the company. She is essentially allowed to get away with a lot more and simply feels the need to be the adult in the room and “direct traffic, this is annoying the other support workers as they have had to pick up the slack due to them not being able to speak up to management due to

My Podcasts that I listen to and how they help me.

  https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OFfna9AEpkqVcYeJNcmLY?si=70LdqFLBTlmP5NIbRogg8g This is a great episode and I have listened to it several times I need to put it out there that this host Alexis doesn’t mince her words, and I mean doesn’t mince her words uses what could be considered “offensive words to get her point across, but it’s used to prove a point and not to get or gain clickbait. This episode is on the low dopamine trend, and I see that this is a trend that started in the ADHD, community and the “content creation” community took it and ran with it and is actively spreading miss information about dopamine, this podcaster has a background in Neuroscience (I am not sure of her qualifications but will find out for you). This is part of a wider trend that I am sick of, and I am sure that many more in the disability community and cohort are sick of as well since it’s something that we created for ourselves, and it’s then been taken out of context for views. Also spreading

What is a bad support worker

This is a post that I really didn’t want to write about, but I am sad to say that it needs to be written about and understood. As there is a massive difference between a support worker that just needs more training and education and I bad support worker. The support worker that needs more training is doing their best to become a good support worker and to work with a client, they know that they need more skills and to be able to work with the client not against them. We also see that people don’t want to do the basics of support they come into the industry thinking that it’s all fun and games but it’s at times this but at times a lot of hard work both emotionally and physically. When I am talking about the basics I am talking about, making sure there living is clean and hygienic, that they have food in the fridge, that they are sticking to a basic budget, that they have community connections, weather that be a day centre or other meaningful activities, and that these activities are

Self development and awareness.

The first one is that it was something that I needed to hear, as recently I have been feeling as a person with a disability as a burden, but I realize that this is due to a complex situation in the supported independent living house (SIL house) I am in. There is a support worker that has a familiar relationship with the boss and she because of this relationship makes me ask for help (let’s be real taxpayers are paying for me to have quality care) can be sub-standard and when we have pointed this out due to her being related to managements family, we as a house weren’t believed as there was no “verifiable” evidence.     When we spoke up to other support workers that have t
