    Half way through the video I must comment….
    What you are saying is very meaningful to me.
    2 years ago I went through 18 months of encephalitis and brain injury. Since then, ( I’m still not fully recovered) I have felt that my brain has lost track of who I am. I’m not at all the same person I was before… optimistic, artistic/creative, curious, finding joy easily in simple things. Now I don’t recognize myself. My temperament, moods, perspectives have all changed. Coping is a constantly struggle.
    I feel so lost.
    When you mentioned losing the sense of your core self my eyes filled with tears. This is exactly what I have been struggling with. Feeling lost to myself in every way because my inner rudder is broken, sails ripped and feel constantly headed for the rocks.
    I not only feel lost, but I feel great loss. And stifled, deep grief, and profound vulnerability. There is nothing internal to ground and sustain me now. That “ thing” that grounded me seems to have died.
    I’ve sensed this condition/state is due to the brain injury but my research hasn’t addressed these particular feelings and conditions. Mostly it is about the fatigue and depression which I also experience.
    This sense of loss has felt like something impossible to explain or validate. Just an instinctual, therefore subjective thing.
    Hearing your words that so accurately and honestly describe my experience with brain injury has validated my instincts.
    You can’t imagine how blessed I feel to have randomly (?) come across your channel.
    I am so grateful. Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope I made sense… my brain is not always adept.
    Now to listen to to the second half of your video.

    I have told my now adult children , for their whole lives, that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. When you realize this, it really does help you understand the path you are on.
    Do not get me wrong, I have days of doubt and fear but at 56 I realize that wasting a day on these things is only going to make the path harder. Things really do work out better than we can dream. We need to put in the effort and find joy and remember we have more power then we know. Loved this. 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa

    Hi Connie,
    So glad I found your channel. I too was in a serious car accident 3 years ago. I was on my way to, get this: my yoga class. It has turned my life upside down. I was diagnosed with PTSD and Post Concussion Syndrome. I am almost 61 and no longer work. I had to try really hard to
    slow down and not blame myself for the person I am now.
    I also find solace in the outdoors, doing lot's of gardening and walking at the state park by our house. My husband and I just returned from 5 weeks on the road in our RV. ( our first big post retirement trip) So good to be in the outdoors. We plan on becoming semi- nomadic and travelling.
    I have also embraced minimalism and am busy downsizing. I find it very freeing, less objects to care for and cloud my mind! Thank you for reminding us to care for ourselves.

    This had a good feel to it. This was me 3 years ago. Nature, meditation and awareness are still a part of my daily life today. I learned sooo much about myself going thru "hard times" and wouldn't trade that for anything. I'm now living the life " I was meant to live" it looks very different than what I planned. Be open to change cause that's what's always goin on.

    I too feel lost at the moment. My mind is too anxious to hear the answer from within. It's so frustrating . I want to cry every morning as I don't see the purpose of me getting up. I've been in this place before but this time I feel really stuck due to aging. It's been too long and I'm worried it has become a part of me forever . I don't want to be a grumpy old woman 🥶

      I suffer from severe depression. It is hard to explain to others how I feel and why. I am retired, disabled, and trying to live in this very expensive time. I sometimes wonder what the point is of getting up and trying. Then I remember what I heard once - Jesus doesn't make mistakes in loving us just as we are. This thought keeps me going. Love your messages. They are quiet and calm but gets me to thinking.

    Thank you for sharing your story. This is inspiring. I have not been through a life-altering experience such as yours, but I still struggle to find meaning and be at peace with the course my life has taken. I think it is natural to question and doubt many things in life as we gain experience and wisdom. I try to tell myself this when I start to feel down or disappointed in life. Expectations we set for life when we are young are often naive and unrealistic.

    Thank you for this video Connie. You are beautiful, inside and out. I deal with depression, anxiety, OCD, and so many more mental illnesses. I have found the answer through, as you said, letting go and surrendering to the path that life has for you. Everything that happens in your life is as it should be. Life is painting the picture for you. By you trying to control it, youre making lines that dont belong in your life, making the sound of the picture seem off. Just let go, let yourself be free. Life is about experiencing, nothing else.

    Hi Conny, thank you for sharing this experience! I am 44 years old now and was diagnosed with acute leukemia at the age of 27. One of the lessons i learnt during my treatments and in recovery (which took years) is that resignation is the best way forward in life: accept what you cannot change and positively act on the things you do have control over. I hope your health is better now or that you have found a way to live with it! All the best from the Netherlands

    I took a total mind dump this summer in my gardens. Stopped listening to all the "voices" and started listening to mine. Stopped listening to the chatter of society, well meaning friends, religious leaders, etc.
    It's been transformational getting to know me for once.
