Great idea, thank you

This was really helpful. I care for someone that has a TBI. Thanks so much!

ha ive done this too. i love your tips. my version is that i toss the worries into water and magic fish come up and eat them for me. the fish can be monstrously huge, bigger than any problem. while they are digesting the problems i dont have to think about them. AND the coolest part is that i know my mind will always start to worry again about those things. so i put a special wish on the magic fish that when the problems come back, they will have been solved a little bit while they were gone. i love this visualization cause i feel like not only do i get a break from the worries but when they come back they will be a little bit more solved for me. hope you dont mind the comments im enjoying all of your tips.

im working so hard on this. i honestly almost threw out all my pretty, sparkly clothes just a few days ago. and, the injury left a whole bunch of really not attractive scars right in the middle of my face that i cant cover with anything. my body has totally fallen apart. i still cant look in mirrors. all your tips are so good so far. maybe theres something about dealing with facial injuries/scars on top of the personality stuff. the best thing ive come up with is just playing up my remaining good qualities as much as possible. challenging when your exhausted & feel horrible. my style was pretty much effortless before and im definitely not up for stuff now that takes more work.!! thanks for the very useful tips this is a really nice channel.

If you can soak a paper plate you can soak a plate.

I think this is a great idea and will work for me...thank you ❤

i have no health issues, but i really appreciate your video for everyone who has some and needs some positive encouragement in their life. thank you for helping others who are struggling! take care and all the best from germany

I have disabilities as well. I finally began decluttering and donating to my local Thrift store. It was NOT easy, but I asked for help and got it. I don't worry about other people's opinions because they are NOT ME in my circumstances. I ask God for his help with motivation. I like company and I care about their health when they visit. ❤

Amazing!!

This group is an awesome reference. Thank you!

If I go out with the recycling ( 1 km away) then I' ll get so tired when I com3 back that I will not have more energy to clean the apartment 😂

I have no medical brain injury. I do feel deep concern and depression about several issues related to family dysfunction. Your suggestions have helped immensely. I will look for K.C. Davis' book. Many thanks!

This was very helpful. Hubby just had heart attack and i have a bad back and two hip replacement. Was feeling overwhelmed today i cleaned 2 bedrooms Tomorrow maybe the bathroom.

Hi I just found this very helpful channel, I’m going to share with others .

I love the way you explain things. I too have a brain injury from multiple accidents. At one time in my life my house was a tip. I didnt have access to medical professionals well versed in brain injuries, they were only interested in my obvious physical injuries (broken arm and wrist, dislocated neck). It was years later that they decided it was time to look at the injury, and at this time it was a bit like closing the barn door after the horse had bolted. I had to teach myself how to do things (including how to make a coffee, have a shower, and tidy the house). I hadnt learnt the best or most energy efficient way, and so I kept crashing and burning. I didnt know that brain injuries change how much mental energy you have, nor that if your brain had a battery, it would never charge fully, so it was important to rest plenty and only take bite size chunks. It was five years later that I was told these things. The New Zealand health system is not geared to helping people who only have severe concussion (unless it causes physical deficits. If you were working they would be sure to rehabilitate, but if you happened to be self employed, a stay at home Mum or a student, well you were on your own unless you had a decent GP who was willing to go to bat for you. I wish I had seen your video when I was in the midst of the injury, it would have made such a difference. Thank you for giving permission to do what you can that day without overwhelming the brain or the spirit. That just putting the rubbish bag in the room could be enough. I still have issues with alot of things, and I think it is time I read this book, but your kindness and beautiful calm attitude has made me feel like I am not such a failure after all.

So much of this applies to recovery from strokes. The only comparison that matters is to yourself. If you’re improving that’s great, others may be faster or slower. That’s their story, not yours.

Misinformation is all over the place! What’s the funniest assumption somebody’s made about your concussion??

❤

❤🎉 Thank you, that sounds wonderful.I'm gonna try it.

The eye glasses clip is a game changer. Post cataract surgery I was told to wear sunglasses when out during the day. Now I just take them off and clip them on my shirt when I come inside. They’re right there when I go back out. Thanks.

What’s YOUR best post concussion clothing tip??

I was just sitting here watching videos and thinking "I HAVE to get up & do the dishes" but I really don't feel like it. I've not had brain surgery but my husband just had surgery (5th total knee replacement), 2 brothers-in-law died from prostate cancer and a brother & brother-in-law who have prostate cancer, 2 friends died and my best friend is dying - all since July. All I want to do is sit & cry but I can't in front of my husband while he's healing. I have fibromyalgia & severe arthritis so I'm hurting most of the time. Thank you for giving permission to not do the dishes so I can focus on trying to deal with my emotions since my antidepressant doesn't seem to be helping!

many thanks for sharing this valuable information, i appreciate it so very much. diane from london uk 🙋🏼‍♀️

Love these! My new favourite soothing podcast - you can use it for sleep or just a nice zen moment, especially if you're outdoors - is As the Season Turns. It's beautifully narrated and gives you a monthly guide to the season and what's growing, migrating, happening in the skies and stars, etc. It's from the UK so what's in her yard/garden/forest isn't always the same as mine, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

What's the best sleep tip you've ever been given? What about the WORST tip? 😂

Thank you for your informative video. I've been trying to help a friend who had a serious concussion a few years ago. There were many changes in his behaviour. This video helped me as I realise the importance to celebrate the small wins. Ive become more tolerant when he has a bad day or a bad moment. He can become easily frustrated and angry. I try not to take it personally, he's doing the best he can. All the best ☺️

I’ve spoken with a few people recently who are super frustrated and really struggling with their concussion. If this is where you’re at, hang in there! Concussions SUCK! But this is not forever, even though healing feels so so sooo slow ❤

Whether it's fast food, frozen food or gourmet, your brain needs energy to heal! What foods are you eating to fuel your brain's recovery?

I live close to Lake Ontario, so walking by the water is easy for me, but I also live near a conservation area, so green space is easily accessible, too! When you spend time outdoors, is it near the blue or the green...or something in between!?

My sister and brother in law are visiting from the states and they are staying at my parent's house, but I'm at home with a headache today. If you're missing out on fun stuff, I am with you in spirit! So I'm in 'nurture' mode! I'm currently polishing off an ice cream cone (Haagen-Dazs coffee in a kiddie cone) and making myself laugh by relistening to some of my favourite Normal Gossip podcast episodes. What is something you do to make yourself feel better when you can't do something you'd really like to do?

Switching from guided meditations to self led meditations is HARD! I started with Kathryn Nicolai and her podcast First This, where she shares short, 8 to 10 minute guided meditations! When I started meditating on my own, I was able to sit still and not feel like a weirdo for shorter amounts of time, starting around 2 minutes. Are you trying self led meditations? Guided meditations? What's your biggest struggle right now?

My neighbours are being SUPER LOUD today. I'm focusing on my AMAZING earbuds and catching up on my favourite podcasts 🗣 What are you grateful for today?

Do you have a surprising assistive device? Something that others might not call 'medically necessary' but makes your life so much easier? For me, it's my coffee sling! Huge impact, low cost, more caffeine, happy camper 😁

What helps you to stay grounded in stressful situations? For me, it's a combination of meditation when I'm not stressed to kind of practice for when I am stressed, and the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding.

Thank you for sharing information. I am glad that I found your channel.

Thank you for this. I’ve had medical issues that have left me weak for years now and I live alone. Seeing the state of my place has left me feeling defeated, stressed and slightly depressed. Knowing that I’m not the only one with a dwelling that resembles a war zone is refreshing.

I sure appreciate this, though I’ve mostly healed from my concussions. I wish I’d found this sooner! Thank you for your content! ❤

Great tips! I have two suggestions for people who make it through the phases of actually getting the dishes and clothes washed and put away but are afraid of getting back to the mess. When I am not doing well (depression, not a concussion) I find the easiest thing is to live out of the dishwasher and clothes dryer. I leave my dishwasher open, and when I have a dirty dish, it goes right into the dishwasher. When it’s full, I run it then leave it open again and just use dishes out of there. I pretend the cupboards do not exist for as long as necessary and I just use and wash the same 4 plates and 5 cups and 3 bowls and so forth over and over again. Same thing with my laundry - I use the washing machine as my laundry hamper and when it’s full, I run it, put the stuff in the dryer, and then get dressed straight out of the dryer every day. My closet does not exist to me for however long it takes until I am finally ready to put things on hangers and in drawers again. It’s not a perfect system - more than a few times I have to rewash a load that I can’t bring myself to put in the dryer in time, and yes, I am usually very wrinkled - but the alternative is mounds of dirty dishes and clothes that feel completely overwhelming. Thanks so much for your channel, you are a joy to listen to! 😊

First to 👍 and probably 3rd to view. I also have a car accident and had a concussion. Lost memory for 24hrs.
