{Screaming} yes let's go let's go if you're like me you love sports you like streaming your
favorite sports team or watching that movie that you were not able to watch
live and you got internet just for that, but then it sucks when something happens
and your internet freezes {Music Playing}
{Lightbulb explodes}
okay so to fix everything and make it simple I went out and I bought the
Linksys velop home Wi-Fi system these three things that you see right here are
called nodes and these are basically like modems spread throughout the house
just like you see here on the back of the box I put one upstairs in the
bedroom one in the living room one downstairs by the office I even
downloaded the app and that gives me full control of all three I can control
everything and monitor it just how I want to monitor it I put my first node
here right next to the routers I also can run an Ethernet from that if I have
an adapter to go to my laptop the second node I put out in the living room so you
can see it and what I did is I connected this to the wall and then I put the
ethernet cable in the back essentially giving me a hardwired connection to my
TV instead of having to use the Wi-Fi the next one I put upstairs in the
bedroom being that my phone and my laptop sometimes are on Wi-Fi the hard
connection from the ethernet gives me full service from my actual service
provider that I'm paying for these things are just something that have
totally changed the dynamics of my Wi-Fi throughout the house now before I had an
AC 1900 cable modem router combo basically what that meant is I had one
modem that had a built-in router into it that I sat here by my office now that
router had to connect all the devices in the living room all the devices upstairs
then I said you know what I'm gonna separate it I went out and I got the
standalone modem connected this and then as you saw I got the nodes all around
the house the big benefit from me is this is a tri-band system basically what
that means is you have three lanes of Internet usage that you can block off so
they don't get congested by everyone jumping on the same thing one of those
lanes is a 2.4 gigahertz and then it has two separate lanes of 5 gigahertz now
when I'm utilizing this as the Ethernet what it does is being that it's plugged
into the wall the wall outlet actually turns into a modem system inside my
house allowing the places where I put those Nodes
to have Ethernet connection as if it's a standalone modem so now when I have the
TV in the living room plugged up to the Ethernet I have had zero buffering since
I've added this system to that since I did the same thing upstairs in the
master bedroom I have the ethernet connected to the other node seamless
streaming either from watching my sports or watching movies or TV shows now if
we want to talk about cons there is a con because price-wise this is not
friendly just for this system alone for the 3 nodes that I bought this was
running around $350 now when I went out and got the
standalone modem I decided to go from the 3.0 DOCSIS to the 3.1 DOCSIS now in
case you don't know what that means if you don't have 3.1 DOCSIS that means
that you cannot get a gigabyte download speed or upload speed so I just wanted
to be prepared in case I get ready for the upgrade so with that I went up from
$179 and $350 and I spent probably around $550 for everything so that's
probably going to be a big con for a lot of people so now that my cable is back
up and running I'm gonna put a description below for this particular
system and the modem so you can check it out for yourself or see what else might
be suitable for your needs again while you're down there like I
always say {screams} "hit that subscribe button" and tell a friend also follow me on facebook
at "OndaWire" and follow me on twitter and instagram at "TheRealOndaWire" so
you guys can see a side of me that you don't see while I'm doing these reviews
I hope you enjoyed the video this has been another production from OndaWire

What is a Conventional Loan? || Real Estate Explained #31 - Duration: 3:09.
Hey. This is J. Lucky Henry -- Keller Williams agent in the Greater Boston area.
You won't believe how many questions I get on a daily basis.
Everyday people need answers.
Everyday people need explanations.
That's why everyday people need to get REAL!
R-E-A-L: Real estate Explained Amazingly by Lucky
in 90 seconds -- give or take.
What's up? It's J. Lucky Henry. Welcome back.
We're still talking about different ways you could finance your property.
If you haven't checked out the first two videos in this series --
we talked about FHA and VA loans.
Now we're going to talk about the good old conventional mortgage, right.
Again I'm not a loan officer so you should definitely check with
one of these two in this video link here right.
If you have any questions I have their contact info
and they answer tons of questions about the pre-approval process in this video...
definitely worth to watch.
But wait! Don't go yet!
Let me explain what I know about conventional mortgages
So if you watched the first two videos,
it may seem like wow, FHA VA loan seems so much better.
Why would I ever get a conventional mortgage?
Well it comes with 20% down.
Why would I do that if I can go as low as 0 and 3.5% on a FHA or a VA loan?
See the thing with conventional mortgages is
they can be fixed but they can also be adjustable rates.
So that means if the rates go down during a time, you can lower that rate.
With FHA and VA, you're often locked into those.
Now I know 20% may seem daunting, it may seem like a lot more to put down.
But it offers other advantages.
When you get as high as 20%, right, things like PMI go away.
And if you don't know PMI is again I recommend watching this video or going back.
It's Private Mortgage Insurance.
I'm not gonna want the whole thing now but it's extra cost.
Another benefit to conventional mortgages --
is that because you're putting more down, right, you have more skin in the game.
You have more skin in the game not only to the bank lending you money,
but more skin in the game to the seller.
So your offer to some sellers, actually looks "stronger" because you have
more money at risk than a 3.5% or even 0% down.
And to the bank lending you money -- you have more in the game as well.
So the interest rate that they need to charge you,
becomes a little bit lower:
1. because your loan is smaller, but
2. because you also have more money at stake in the property so you own more equity in your
property right off the bat, right.
So look -- we'll come back tomorrow with the last video in financing.
And this video is gonna be about owner financing.
So what that means is there's no bank involved now --
it's just you wanna sell and how does that work?
So tune in tomorrow and again any questions about pre-approvals
check this video out we linked it here over here...
wherever my assistant put it -- I swear one day I'm gonna figure out where the links go.
But check that video out -- it's huge huge packed full of information.
It's about six minutes long and definitely worth the watch.
This is J. Lucky Henry and I'm here to keep it REAL with you.

5 Foods that Give You Lots of Energy - Duration: 4:53.
5 Foods that Give You Lots of Energy
In order to go about our daily activities, our bodies need energy.
But a lot of times we feel fatigued and worn out.
There are many causes of this, but regardless of the origin it's always a good idea to eat foods that will give you a healthy energy boost and make you feel better.
A lot of the time we choose foods that are actually bad for us, especially those that contain lots of sugar or other harmful ingredients.
That's why in this article we'll show you 5 healthy foods that will give you instant energy.
1,Oatmeal.
Oatmeal can provide an instant boost of energy.
For this reason, it's a recommended breakfast food, which gives us the energy we need to start the day and get active.
Oatmeal is great because it has lots of fiber and good carbohydrates, which provide healthy energy sources.
The best thing of all is that you can eat oatmeal every day without any complications.
You can prepare oatmeal in many different ways: as a cereal with milk, boiled, or in a smoothie.
2,Bananas.
Bananas are a great source of energy due to their high amounts of potassium.
They naturally provide you with an instant and healthy energy boost, and potassium is also good for the muscles – especially for people who play sports and lift weights.
Potassium helps prevent cramping and certain muscular injuries, plus it helps regulate the nervous system.
Two bananas in the morning are great for staying alert and focused throughout the day.
3, Fish.
Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially tuna, salmon, trout, and sardines.
Fatty acids are the perfect energy source, and act fast.
Additionally, a diet that includes fish is also good for the memory, the nervous system, and even reduce stress levels.
That way we reduce depression and increase concentration levels.
A breakfast sandwich made with tuna is a great source of energy in the morning.
4,Eggs.
Although it is commonly believed that eggs are bad for us, the truth is that they're quite healthy and good for the body.
Among other things, eggs have protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
These are all essential for normal bodily function, so eggs provide lots of energy and keep us focused, while increasing concentration.
Eating an egg in the morning is a great way to start the day with lots of energy.
5,Water.
As surprising as it may seem, water is one of the biggest providers of energy out there.
Stress and physical activity cause dehydration, and water is the perfect way to regain the energy we have lost.
Because of this, we should drink at least two glasses of water whenever we feel really worn out.
And of course, don't forget to drink at least two liters of water every day.

What is Game Based Learning? - Duration: 11:21.
From learning new languages to Virtual Reality simulations...stay tuned to number 1 to find
out the impact of video games in learning!
Number 10: Game-Based Learning In Fiction As far as game-based learning goes, Ender's
Game, the 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card is perhaps
one of the earliest examples of game based learning in fiction.
Without giving too much of the plot away, Ender is accepted in to the Battle School,
a military training school situated in Earth's orbit, where cadets participate in competitive
war simulations in zero gravity.
After perfecting various battle situations, Ender is finally told he is about to undergo
his final test, but there is a shocking surprise at the end of it.
Was it a game or was it reality?
Although this is clearly a fictional story, it does bring to question the use of games
for learning.
What better way to experience and plan for a dangerous situation than to practice in
a "made-up" setting.
If you haven't experienced the Ender's story, you can do so by reading the original novels,
the recent movie adaption, or audio play.
Although there had been some discussion about an associated game, nothing came out of it
in the end.
Number 9: Simulations.
The technological advancements of the 20th century led to many incredible developments,
of which simulations are just one.
These are imitations of a real-world process or system, and could be considered as an early
form of game-based learning in some circumstances.
The first simulation game is believed to have been a game created by Thomas T. Goldsmith
Jr. and Estle Ray Mann, which was a simple game that involved firing a missile at a target...though
this is not something the military used to practice firing missiles.
Nevertheless, military simulations, also known informally as "war games," do exists and are
used to test theories of warfare and to refine techniques without the need for actual hostilities,
however little is known about them.
But this isn't the only educational use for simulations.
Pilots practice and improve flying techniques, doctors' practice and refine techniques to
perform life-saving surgery, and astronauts practice dangerous space missions.
In many ways, using simulations for educational purposes have helped us with some of our greatest
achievements.
Number 8: Virtual Reality.
Before we get started on Virtual Reality, we'd love it if you took a moment in YOUR
reality to subscribe to our channel and like this video!
Don't forget to click that little notification bell, too, so you can always stay up to date
on new happenings with Zero2Hero!
The exact origins of virtual reality, or VR for short, are disputed, partly because of
how difficult it has been to formulate a definition for the concept of an alternative existence,
however VR, as we know it today, really started to develop in the 1990s, which saw the first
widespread commercial releases of consumer headsets.
From 2015 onwards, the world started to go VR mad with many of the big companies like
Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and many others, investing a lot of time, money and
people-power on VR development.
Although VR has many uses, the use of VR game-based learning has loads of potential, and there
are already some interesting games out there...like Cleanopolis, where the is to fight against
climate change and make sure the city of Cleanopolis get rid of its CO2 cloud, or Titans of Space
Carboard, which takes you on a short-guided tour of our planets and a few stars in virtual
reality.
With the developments in new, more improved VR kits and games designs, you can expect
to see many more VR educational games in the future.
Number 7: Game-Based Learning Skills.
Game-based learning gives people the opportunity to develop and improve a variety of skills.
Scrabble, hangman, crosswords, and other word-based games can help with vocabulary, pronunciation
and spelling.
Sudoku, and other number and math-based games, are excellent education tools for students
wanting to practice math.
Real-life games and video-games can give players the opportunity to improve team-working skills
by allowing them to role-play different roles, work to solve problems as a group, and to
bond with one-another...this last point is one reason why schools, and even some employers,
often use game-based team-building exercises.
Games are such effective ways to learn to new skills that they are used by most, if
not all, professions.
Whether its computer or video games, pen-based or board games, or virtual or real-life role-play
games, games are fundamental for learning.
However, it is important to remember that everyone has different styles of learning,
and what works for one person, might not work for the other.
Number 6: Problem Solving.
Problem solving skills are some of the most important skills in the 21st century education,
and its purpose is to provide people with the skills to overcome problems and difficulties
in their personal and professional lives.
Although there are plenty of problem-solving pen and board games, computers are changing
the way we practice and improve problem-solving skills, and the Internet has made these games
accessible to even more people.
Game developers are creating more and more games tailored to different age groups and
abilities, resulting in a large collection of solo and multi-player problem solving games.
With the introduction of apps, these games are now even more accessible, allowing users
to play at the touch of a button.
Games like The Room 3 and Does not Commute are two just two out of hundreds of app-based
games that can help improve problem-solving skills.
Number 5: Social Games.
In recent years, more and more multi-player games are being created, giving players the
opportunity to play with friends and strangers alike.
Though not all video games are created with educational purposes in mind, many multi-player
ones do provide the opportunity for players to interact with one another, to work in pairs
or groups, and to compete against one-another, resulting in an environment that can help
them develop cooperation skills and supporting skills as they attempt to form alliances and
create teams working cooperatively.
Gamers have the ability to connect with players locally or team up with people from countries
around the world.
Many people playing multiplayer games online, like World of Warcraft, have developed good
friendships with people they met.
Overall, although there are some negative results of online relationships, video games
have created a fun and engaging way of connecting with people and can act as an important teaching
tool in developing social skills.
Number 4: Learning About The Past.
Not all games, whether digital or not, are created for learning purposes, but that doesn't
mean they don't have learning-based features.
One game that encapsulates this is the "Assassin's Creed" series.
Many of its previous games are well known for their richly detailed historical environments,
and a lot of work goes in to creating these scenes.
In their most recent game "Assassin's Creed Origin" they have taken this one step further
by creating a museum-like experience set within the game's rendition of ancient Egypt.
The "Discovery Tour" element of the game was created with the help of Egyptologist who
crafted guided tours of many of the well-known sites in ancient Egypt.
And what better way to delve into history than through the enjoyment of a good game...something
that is more interesting to non-academics and academics alike.
The important point about history focused game-based learning is the vast amount of
research required to ensure the scenes portrayed are as historically accurate as possible...especially
if the game is meant to be realistic to its period.
With the possibility of further history-based games in the future, it opens a whole host
of opportunities for history researchers and graduates.
Number 3: Learning Languages.
When you consider the educational and social features of many games, it is perhaps not
surprising to find that combined they are extremely effective tools in helping people
to learn new languages.
Language learning games have been around for a long time, however, in the past they were
lacking the social interactive elements that we see in games today.
Whereas before you'd have to practice with someone face-to-face or over the telephone,
now you can practice with virtual avatars that speak to you, or you can speak to other
gamers using in-game chats or voice chats.
Some language games have narratives and story-lines, and whether you are playing on your own or
with others, these games provide useful role-play based learning experiences in a safe virtual
world.
In all, these collaborative game-based learning activities provide opportunities for learners
to apply what they've learned, and to get feedback through advice and support, or through
consequences and rewards.
So, next time you want to learn a language, go and check out what sort of language games
you can find, because these will be a useful tool in combination with either classroom-based
or virtual lessons.
Number 2: Nature Connecting Games.
It's an accepted fact that, today, most children in the developed world don't play outside
as much as children did a decade or so ago.
With advances in technology, decrease in prices and increases in accessibility, games have
changes the lives of millions of children and young adults.
As highlighted in this video, there are many benefits to game-based learning...whether
that's offline or online, however, there are also some negative results...especially when
children spend too much time gaming.
One of the effects of spending too much time playing games, whether there educational or
not, is that lack of connection with the outside world, and in particular with the natural
world.
It's hard for nature to compete with games like Fortnite or Call of Duty.
As a result, some people are now trying to find a way to engage children with the natural
world through games.
In England, The Gruffalo Spotters app, developed by the Forestry Commission England, offers
interactive forest trails that track down characters based on the best-selling children's
book The Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson.
They have also created the ForestXplorer app which allows adults and children to become
tree-detectives, with the goal of being able to identify their ash trees from their alder
trees.
As far as game-based learning go, there is a lot of potential for nature-connecting games
and apps to be developed in the future.
Number 1: Does It work?
Does game-based learning really work?
Well, in short, YES!
Some people will often learn more from a game than from other forms of learning, and it
is a lot more fun to learn through games.
Although many would associate game-based learning with children or young adults, they are truly
beneficial to all ages.
As we've already seen, they can be used to teach new and interesting subjects, help people
learn new languages, or even allow people to delve into historical worlds and learn
about the past whilst enjoying a good game.
Whether you like gaming or not, it is hard to argue against the positive examples of
game-based learning, and although there will always be those it doesn't benefit, and there
are some issues that over-shadowing gaming, overall, we can see clear benefits from this
form of learning.
Moreover, the combination of game-based learning and digital games is a tech trend that fits
into the 21st century, and with over 2.2 billion gamers in the world, it definitely has a long
future ahead of it.
So, what do you think about game-based learning?
Let us know in the comments below and...take care!

Fix Those Holes with Visible Mending by Jenny Wilding Cardon - Duration: 4:56.
hi it's Kim from chatterbox quilts I've got another book for you to take a look
at now I normally don't get into mending but this is a really interesting book
and it's called visible mending it's by Jenny Wilding Cardin and it is artful
stitchery to repair and refresh your favorite things so let's take a look
inside because I don't know about you but I often have you know t-shirts or
sweaters and I really really like them they're kind of my favorite and you have
to get a little hole in them and I'm like oh I don't know what to do with
them now this book will help you with that if you are in the same position I
am with some of those articles of clothing so there are five different
things she's covering this book so if you like hand stitching there's burro
stitching or hand embroidery and if you want to do patches or darning you can do
that not quite as exciting as the first two but very practical and she also has
a section on mending my machine so let's take a closer look here so if you're not
familiar with burro stitching it's straight line stitches usually with
thicker thread it's a decorative you're supposed to see those stitches sort of
like Sasha ko stitching so as you can see here is some of the example she has
so in the book there's examples of different repairs using these various
techniques so this is the first one I really like this look I think this would
be really meditative when you're doing it and as you can see you're supposed to
see the stitches and they look really cool I like the symmetry they're all
about the same distance apart and I don't know I just think they look really
calming so that's burrow stitching and then of course hand embroidery one of my
favorites so you can see that she's showing you the different stitches all
very simple hand embroidery stitches and again these are going to be ones that
you're going to want to see so here for example is a sweater that has a hole in
it she's actually embellishing the hole bringing it out as a focal point which i
think is just brilliant well I covered up why not make it a
focal point and then she's added just some extra little stitches here little
seed stitches on this t-shirt now if you want to get into something really
exciting you can actually create a whole scene as she's done here on the hem of
these pants I believe it's pants but adds an extra touch to it while also
being very practical then you move into the patches area okay so again you want
to see them and you can see some of the things she's done with them so on the
Jean we've added these ones here even with
the rough edges it gives that extra dimension and texture to the jeans I
love this little dress with owls because I love owls but again very cute
here's on a wool sweater and this is actually a little patches they put on so
there's a little bit of there's the patches but there's a little bit of hand
embroidery on top as well so you can combine these technique sometimes too
and here we go as quilters we all don't we love hexagons so here she's put these
hexagons on the back of a denim jacket so maybe there was a tear I mean doesn't
have to be a tear maybe there's a mark or something on the clothing you could
certainly put a patch over top of it and that's not only going to hide that but
it's going to embellish the jacket too so that's the section on patches then
you get into this area here which is also sort of like you know there's
patches sort of going on here you're patching but you're actually covering
them with stitches so you're not actually adding any extra fabric on top
but you're just using those stitches it's are like darning right - to cover
them up so that's what you see in this section is darning okay and then the
last one is where you're actually mending my machine so this is probably
going to be your quickest way of doing things but again she's showing you
examples where you can actually see the patches so nothing meant to be hidden
here which is good you can be a little creative have a little bit of fun so you
can see on the shirt here you've got these old triangles so that's really
cute and again those raw edges they just add a little bit of texture when you
wash when they get all frayed on the edges so the thing I liked about this
book is first off I thought the ideas for mending were really creative I also
like the fact that each section she goes over how to do it she has good
information on the type of floss or thread she's going to be using things to
be aware of as you're doing these various techniques so it's really quite
complete and I think really helpful and you know what I have a top that I have
been trying to figure out what to do because it has a couple little holes on
the bottom of it and I really really like it and I bought it I didn't know it
had these little holes it came from a secondhand store and so I've been going
oh I really need to do something with it well now that I've got visible mending I
know I'm going to be able to pick out a technique from here and get that top all
fixed up so I can start enjoying it so if you're looking to do a little bit of
mending and have one house some creative ideas on how to do that I
would suggest you pick up visible mending by Jenny Wilding Cardon if you
liked this video please feel free to share it with your quilting friends and
remember to subscribe and hit that Bell below so that you'll be notified the

11 ways to cope with bipolar disorder - Duration: 9:35.
Hey Everyone Ali Mattu here and I am with my friend Tristan Miller.
Tristan welcome back.
We just did an episode about the top myths about bipolar disorder and I wanted to invite
you back here to do an episode about how to cope with bipolar disorder.
Sure yeah that makes sense.
The first one is sobriety and this is one that I know a lot of people who have bipolar
disorder myself included have struggled with.
I've been about two years sober which is and I've been happier and healthier for it.
And it was a real pain to start.
Yeah but it is one of those things that like when you're putting alcohol and specifically
if you're putting street drugs in your system to try and self medicate it's a it's not so
good.
It's just like you're just going to exacerbate every pre existing condition that you have.
And so that's if you're not sober.
That's where I would start.
For a lot of people when they're moving faster.
Yeah they might want to slow down and they might use drugs for that.
Or when they're down or slower they might want to move fast.
It's like trying to do that stuff yourself.
Yeah.
The other thing I want to add to that is gambling.
A lot of people might not think about that when you are putting your emotions in the
hands of chance yeah which is what happens when you gamble when you have bipolar disorder.
It is.
It is a really risky thing.
That makes sense.
And for me I know when I was heavily drinking it was I just wanted consistency and I knew
like I was going to feel terrible in the morning but at least I knew how I was going to feel.
You had to control.
Yeah.
Number one no one has control you have to accept that yeah we're all the chaos total
chaos chaos theory.
You can get that with professional help.
You can also.
Which is the second thing I have with you.
Go find a therapist find a therapist that specializes in bipolar disorder if you can
and really decide to work with that person for your betterment.
That brings me to my first one which is understand the pattern of your bipolar disorder.
Really understand it inside and out.
What are the kind of things that might make you more vulnerable to going fast to getting
to hypomania or a manic episode.
What are things that might make you more vulnerable for depression.
Sleep is a big one that a lot of people I work with discover.
So the more you know your own pattern of bipolar the more you can set yourself up for success
and also deal with unexpected problems when they come up.
One of the ones that I have is maintaining a consistent sleep schedule also know how
your symptoms manifest themselves.
Yes!
Know like oh I'm doing this that means I'm anxious if I'm anxious that might mean I'm
up.
Yes.
And you just got to do checks and balances.
Totally.
All the time.
Sometimes people like like to write things down in a notebook and maybe there's an app
you like.
Find whatever way of figuring that stuff out works for you and then keep at it.
There's a bunch of really good mood chart apps.
There's one I can't remember the name of it but if you just look at bipolar disorder mood
chart you can just get the kind of stuff.
The next one I have is telling your friends like you have building a community which is
kinda the same thing.
Spoilers Tristan!
I'm sorry but hey hey it's cool it's spoilers for mental health.
Making sure that your friends know what's going on with you and communicating.
Maria Bamford talks about like if I'm talking so much and have a really great a bunch of
really good ideas call the purple van because I got to go to doggy daycare.
So like just so you know so you're aware and that's actually how she caught her the fact
that she was she has bipolar disorder because she had a hypomanic episode for the first
time.
And so her friends were like "Hey you're not doing well.
You should see somebody."
Sometimes you just want to talk to someone and not have to explain what it feels like.
Yeah.
So that might mean like a support group or that might mean connecting with NAMI and finding
other folks who also have bipolar disorder and these people you don't have to like like
explain what it is and all that and they get it.
So I think knowing who is helpful for what kind of thing.
Yeah it's super helpful like who's a good late night person to reach out to for help.
Who's a great person who's going to help you get off the couch when you're feeling more
depressed and you need someone to just push you to going outside.
Another really great thing is that resources online there's a bunch of online communities.
Oh totally message boards and like Twitter and it has ups and downs for me regarding
mental health.
Oh yeah.
But one of the nice things about it is there are a lot of people who are open about their
illness.
There are some great YouTubers there's some great Sub Sub Reddit.
Sub Reddit groups?
Just subreddits I think.
See this is what separates the older millenial from the younger millenial.
The next one I have is meditation actually.
And that's really helped me at a few points.
If you can afford it headspace is a great app and it was really great and really soothing
to get relaxed and then also the whole kind of point of meditation is just to accept.
I think I couldn't Stephen Fry last time like he says the moods are like the weather just
because there's clouds doesn't mean there's going to be clouds forever.
Totally and you can just accept it totally.
My next one is I can't remember oh this is my favorite one okay.
Yeah.
I'm very excited to share this consume awesome stories.
Yes that is super important to find stories about bipolar disorder like memoirs.
My favorite is Marbles by Ellen Forney.
It's a graphic memoir.
You haven't read it?
I haven't but I've heard of it and I want to talk to her.
She's amazing and she just came out with a sequel which is called Rock Steady which is
like a it's a book about how to cope with bipolar disorder.
It's amazing.
And then I talked last time about Next to Normal Broadway show.
You mentioned Maria Bamford there's Kay Redford Jamison's An Unquiet Mind.
There are so many books that will give you hope will make you feel less alone will help
you to better understand it to contextualize it.
Stephen Fry's documentary The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive I've not seen that I've
seen it five times maybe more.
It's really good and it's really succinct.
One other reason it's important to find a story that really resonates with you is so
you can give that story to someone else.
Yes.
Like a friend someone you're dating a family member to say read this.
Watch this.
Listen to this.
This is what I'm going through.
Yeah even like music it's really great.
Totally like anything from Nirvana kind of like.
To be honest some music will pull you down and some music will lift you up.
And so it's also about knowing what music captures the experience so you can share it
to other people.
And also knowing what music helps you when you're going too fast.
Yep.
And what music will help you when you going to slow.
Absolutely.
And the next one I have is writing you should create things for you and you should create
things for other people yeah share.
So a journal might be just for you and you're just going.
This is how I feel or might be an application and you might write notes in the application
or you might start a blog and go "this is what I'm going through seeing what's going
on with me" or you might start a podcast or 5 or do stand up which is what I do which
is my other thing is like that's how a lot of the ways how I cope have one more and it's
schmaltzy like I like schmaltzy and I do like schmaltz too.
I miss the 90s.
I love it.
I love the 90s I'm a 90s kid.
I miss I miss sincerity.
But it is love and it is the biggest coping mechanism is learning to love others and learning
to love yourself and like you said.
Learning to love people stories and seeing what they've gone through and just sharing
because specifically I think we mentioned in the last episode.
Bipolar people are very sensitive and I think they have a lot of love to give and I think
you tap into that and you let yourself experience that and let it show.
And don't get so wrapped up with everything that might be bad that's going on and you
let yourself love yourself and love the people around you and your community and give back
and empathize.
I think that's the most helpful thing to cope with life let alone illness.
That's a great place for us to tie this up.
