I want to show gratitude for the kindness of strangers. Thanksgiving in Canada has arrived early this year, due to the leap year. So I have a special story to share about gratitude due to the kindness of strangers.
It was last summer in August, 2016. My brothers and I planned a vacation together. One of the highlights was a trip requested by my brothers to visit Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, a southern ridge in our magnificent Canadian Rockies. I’d managed to get the very LAST room in Waterton for that trip.
It’s about 260 km from Calgary, Alberta where I live.
We got within 40 km from the Gates of Waterton Lakes National Park; when we met with disaster!
Watch the video:
I’m going to harp about this over and over, BUT there is nothing MORE important to the health of your BRAIN and your body, than your thoughts! If you have a concussion or PCS after several weeks, months, years and decades, then you have created certain neural networks in your brain and they become your habitual way of thinking.
You can do what I did. I purposely, forcefully and consciously turned around the turmoil in my thoughts and feelings and chose to be calm instead. Stress makes you stupid! But gratitude makes you smarter. You can heal your concussion by changing your perception and gratitude is the way to do it. Become grateful. Every day.
Do you have a burning desire to become well again?
Notice I do not ask you if you want to get well? Getting well doesn’t happen. There is no energetic change in getting. But there is one in becoming. What do you need to become in order to overcome your current difficulty?
Nothing in life is truly permanent. You can change your brain and heal it any time. Every change that ever happened to you is because of what you were thinking – good and bad. Thoughts change the brain. Thinking the right ones will rewire the brain and you become well again.
Think about that!
