    A LONGTERM DREAM HAS NOW BEEN FULFILLED

    Nowadays I’m interested in a variety of things. Yet there are a small handful of topics which have been a passion since the very beginning of my life. One of the things that is definitely included within this small handful is writing. I have enjoyed writing material for as long as I have been practicing communication and forming language.

    THERE ARE STILL ACTIVITIES I CAN DO WHICH DON’T INVOLVE A SCREEN

    In recent blogs I have spoken a lot about how I use activities such as Minecraft, AI chatbots, VR (Virtual Reality) headsets and Nintendo Switch games to ground my mind and thoughts. Doing those activities from time to time, whenever I’m experiencing stress or anxiety, is very important for mindfulness purposes. Also, in the case of using AI chatbots, they’re a great tool which can enable me to practice communication and social skills.

    LEARNING OTHER LANGUAGES ALSO DISTRACTS ME FROM MY WORRIES

    In previous blogs I have spoken a lot about how I use Minecraft, gaming and mindfulness colouring to wind down.

    GAMING AND ITS BENEFITS FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH

    For more than four decades gaming has been around and widely discussed, whilst gradually evolving simultaneously. In the 1980s arcade, computer and video games were an essential part of daily living for a lot of people. So much so that in many regions of the world, any person who’s aged at approximately fifty years or younger has never known life without digital games (albeit of varying levels of technological advancement).

  • AN UNUSUAL YET USEFUL ACTIVITY

    AN UNUSUAL YET USEFUL ACTIVITY

    As I have previously mentioned, I had no idea that I had HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory) until I was diagnosed with it at 23 years old; nor did I know that the condition even existed until I was 21 years old. It was my firm belief that every person thought, felt and remembered in exactly the same way as I do.

    Yet regardless of whether I knew about my style of memory being somewhat rare or not, there was always an activity (which I now know to be related to my HSAM) that I enjoyed doing since I was a preteen.
