Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Living with the Impact of a Brain Injury and Asking, “Why Me?” Slideshow Presentation

July 28, 2018 By Second Chance to Live

Living with the Impact of a Brain Injury and Asking, "Why Me?"
Living with the Impact of a Brain Injury and Asking, “Why Me?” Slideshow Presentation

Last year I wrote the article, Living with the Impact of a Brain Injury and Asking, “Why Me?”. I then created a video presentation of the article to offer the information for people who learn through watching and listening. Today, I finished creating a slideshow presentation of a revised version of the article.

To watch the slideshow presentation of the revised article, you may click the below picture.

    Great revisit on this important topic Craig!

    “Why Me?’ Is an obstical to overcome for anyone who experiences a catastrophic event or injury (brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS, ALS, PTSD, etc.).

    Moving on and adapting to change is hard for all of us. This slide show presentation makes the recovery process a little less bumpy and when realized will cut the chains of doubt, low self-esteem and poor self-confidence.

    Being able to understand how much time we spend thinking about the past and not our futures keeps our limbic brain in charge.

    The “We Me?” converstations in our head (between our ears) creates stress and this triggers the fight, flight or freeze response in the Amygdala which makes everything we do harder. This survival instinct is strong and can become chronic if not dealt with.

    Practicing mindfulness, nutrition, excersize and getting enough rest are the best way to increase neuroplasticity.

    Craig, you are a great example of this. You have practiced mindfulness-based stress reduction and neuroplasticity. You have used martial arts and the production of Second Chance to Live as the means to recover from your brain injury and continue down the road of empowerment and advocacy.

    Good Job Craig!

      Thank you, Ken. I agree. The information in the slideshow can benefit anyone who is seeking to recover from anything. Recovery is about a process and a journey, not a destination. Hope is created each time one steps up to the “plate” and determines to keep “swinging”. There are no “silver bullets”, “magic potions” or proverbial “snake oils”.

      Instead, the process just takes time, commitment and a determination to not give up. Retaining the brain, body, and spirit is something that occurs with each decision to “try again”. https://secondchancetolive.org/neuroplasticity-small-successes-learning-relearning-skills-skill-sets/.

      Thank you for what you are doing to educate people on the benefits of mindfulness and re-training the brain too, Sir. You, too, are an example, Ken. Information, when applied, is wisdom. Wisdom is gained over time through the application of knowledge.

      Thank you for your encouragement and for leaving your comment, Ken.

      Craig
