Do you live in a house or apartment? I want to downsize and be more minimalistic.
Thank you so much for this this video. I too am a TBI survivor from a near fatal car accident, and this video solidifies for me the importance of mindful living. Best wishes to you 💞
Its meaningful video thanks so much .
I found my to-be-wife trapped in a crashed car 25 years ago by a chance drive pass in my friends car, she was unconscious and bleeding badly. It was a battle to keep her breathing whilst an ambulance was called. After phoning the hospital later she was in intensive care diagnosed with brain injury and multiple injuries. She recovered despite mental impairment. 12 months later we met after she sent me a thank you letter for helping on that awful night. We went on to get married and have children.
OH MY!! I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your sweet love story with us. I've met so many incredible TBI survivors through this experience. I'm so glad you are part of our mindfulness community.
Sending you happiness and peace.
@@ConnieRiet thanks Connie. I knew the moment I met her she was gorgeous and so lovely and kind. Surgeons repaired her facial damage to me she is beautiful and I loved her. Her brain injury meant she couldn’t work anymore or drive a car but that didn’t matter so I was her carer and husband which I enjoyed every minute of it. 4 years ago her previously in remission cancer returned stage 4 terminal we threw everything at to fight it I so so wanted her to live. Sadly my wife passed away 18 months ago and I’m heartbroken 💔
🙀😫😻tears running down ferociously. So beautiful! Blessings to you and your family, always🌺
Having the support of a loving husband is such a blessing ❤️
Exactly, not everybody has that, in fact it was the betrayal and trauma by my husband what brought me to depression and anxiety. I have never felt so desperate and alone in my life.
I had a car accident and sustained a brain injury March 7th, 2008. I have not had someone describe how I felt and can still feel. Thank you.
This is undoubtedly the best and most important You Tube video I’ve ever seen. Thank you Connie for shining a bright light on how to deal with anxiety, anger and fear.
OH! Thank you for your kind words, Eileen.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Best video on the subject. Thank you💕

Oh my God Connie, I had no idea! What a journey you've been on in so many ways, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I'm so grateful you made it through. You are an inspiration, through and through. 🙏💞
As a traumatic brain injury survivor myself I found this very helpful. I was injured over 45 years ago. It has been a tough journey.
Thank you for this. I’ve had countless bouts of deep depression throughout adulthood. I’m really grieving over a certain closed door right now. I’ve been having such a hard, lonely time coming to terms with a reality I didn’t want.
I'm sorry to hear of your struggle with depression. It is a deep pit that can be challenge to climb out of. It is hard to face a reality opposite than the one we had envisioned for ourselves. Sometimes our biggest disappointments, lead us to our most fulfilling experiences.
sending you happiness & peace
Hope now your feeling less down and your mind has become your friend instead x
"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." -- James Allen Thank you for this. I can relate after a year of cancer and the permanent physical challenges it has brought into my life. This is a good reminder of my personal growth.
Thank you for this enlightening and helpful video.
Great quote!
Beautiful quote! Thank you so much for sharing this quote and your personal story with us. From one survivor to another, I'm glad you are here.
Happiness and Peace
Such a good quote!
Connie all the feelings and your emotions I can relate to. When I lost my job this year because of mandates I was devastated. Anger, sadness, loss of the life I had. Like you, I am doing small things each day to get my happiness back. Thank you for your calming channel 💜
Hi Laura, I'm so sorry to hear of your job loss. It can be such a blow to loose a job & identity. I'm glad you are working your back to a place of peace.
Sending you happiness & peace my friend.
Yes, the battle is in the mind. And it's a daily battle. I have a back injury (from my life choices), and I can get so mad at myself if I continue to focus on the past. Be thankful to God for the things you have. Don't focus on what you DON"T have, but focus on what you DO have. (Romans 12:2) thanks
Beautifully said! Thank you
Yes
Romans 12:2, Amen.
Connie, you are a hero. I am a cancer patient with a rare type that will never leave. I have lived uncertainly for 10 years. Your videos are good, but your
Feminine gentle voice and you give out a lot of sincerity. GOD BLESS YOU
God will protect you sis !
Dear Bessie, I'm so glad that my video resonated with you. I'm terribly sorry to hear of your struggle with cancer. You must be incredibly strong, for how else could you endure 10 years.
Sending you happiness, peace, and health
Thank you Connie for sharing your journey. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you from my heart to yours.
Thank you so much for this video.I have been carrying tremendous anger, sadness, grief and bitterness in my body.It causes me to have severe anxiety that overwhelms me somatically. I have literally survived numerous things over the years.Life threatening illness, surgeries that have changed me and losing people and pets that I loved with all of my heart in rapid succession. Although I am happy about surviving, the emotions I have been left with as a result are making my life unbearable. I am going to try your method and see if it helps...
Hi, I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles over recent years. It helps to think of life not being here for my happiness, but rather to teach me compassion and enlightenment. Sometime life is a pretty tough teacher. Life will always be here, giving us a challenge to learn from. Something that helps me to surrender. I've always prided myself on "being strong" . Being a brain injury survivor, I found force didn't help me find peace. But surrendering allowed me to move forward. I hope that you can find moments of joy and peace, and that those moments string together into days, weeks and years.
Sending you wishes of happiness, peace and health.
@@ConnieRiet Thank you so much Connie. When I look at my life through the lens of being here to learn compassion and enlightenment , it is a game- changer. I am sending you so much appreciate and gratefulness.I hope that you have a wonderful visit with your daughter in Germany.You have such a beautiful family.I just watched your trip to Costa Rica, and your new grandbaby is adorable.Congratulations.
I am crying. Thank you for all your videos, but especially for this one. GOD bless.
Thank you for this, Connie. I have survived cancer 3 times and, after a great deal of anger, have come to accept and live with what has happened to me. I have been left disabled by surgery, but I am alive, and I have learned to let go of the anger and enjoy and appreciate my family and the world around me in a new, more intense way.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. With any life altering event, it takes time to let go of "how things should be". I'm happy that you have found peace.
Sending you health, happiness & peace
Fantastic video
Thank you, going through grief 😔, this has helped.
Thank you Connie ❣️ you are such a blessing
Thank you Connie.
Connie,thank you very much for your words,your video.
Thank you so much Connie, your voice and sweetness move me. I'm in tremendous emotional pain. 💗
Connie...you are so wonderful with how you have sorted your injury xxx I have also had three serious health issues...the last one being skin cancer which is almost cleared now...little by little helps...and no positive thoughts xxx thank you for sharingxxx
Connie, this is so helpful....thank you so much for sharing some of your life struggle with us. It's nice to listen to someone who is not just trying to tell everyone how to be perfect......because there are daily trials and troubles to deal with that so few are willing to share for the benefit of helping others who struggle. Thank you again so very much.
Gosh, thank you so much for this video, I am at the moment right now and can see the light, so angry and bitter of the life I wish I had compared to the life I am living.
Thank you Connie for this, I found your you tube at a point in my life where I needed these reminders of how important it is to take care of ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Your channel is a pure blessing!!- Sheila
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you Connie ❤
Loved your sincerity. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Connie. In this season... this is a wonderful video for me ❤.
Connie, you are such a sweet and genuine soul. Thank you for sharing your journey and this wonderful method. May you continue to be abundantly blessed!
thanks conie🙏very good video
I love this lady.
Thanks for sharing your story.
I really felt your story, you are amazing 🙂 👍🏻
I am absolutely in love with the simplicity and connect that your videos have with real life. I feel like I am living them. Will definitely try the 5 min meditation in the morning as it is the time when I am most anxious as I need to make all the preparations to send my daughter to school and also at work when I feel stressed.
How soothing it is.Thank you so much 💫
Thank you also for being so real
Wow!! Thank you so so much for sharing your life!! It’s helped me a lot!! Thank you 🌹❤️🙏🤗🥰
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this, it came at the perfect time for me.
Thank you for this video. Five years ago an illness which left me weak also gave me small brain seizures which took some of my memory. I have gotten some of them back, but I am not the same person. It took me years to move through the grief and mindfulness practice helps so much. I am still working through knowing myself and it is difficult some days, having tools and practicing them regularly, even on the “good” days does help.
Thank you for this video. You articulated what I went through and still, at times, go through so well.
Thank you for sharing your story and continued Reflections, advice and uplifting message🥰 I was released from the hospital 4 years ago this week after a life threatening bout of pneumococcal meningitis. I, too have acquired mild brain injuries that have changed me profoundly. Having just found your channel, I am encouraged and looking forward to seeing more of your videos. ❤from 🇨🇦

Hi Connie. Thank you for the talk. I recently attended a talk by rocket sciencist. She talked about a similar strategy which I thought you might not mind hearing. The speaker called it the 3C's: capture, cross-examine & counter-act. It was nice to hear your perspectives on turning a negative situation into a positive one. Thank you & have a good day.
Thank you for sharing yr inner most being. I will watch again to see what I can learn. Blessings to you n yr family.
Thank you so much for this video, The first thing we learn from the sad situation is how to control of our thoughts

Thank you Connie for sharing the discoveries you found in recovering from your automobile accident and resulting brain injury and depression. I also suffered a traumatic auto accident and head injury that sent me into a tail spin for years. I've learned some of the same techniques to keep myself keel down and upright. I appreciate learning of the steps that have helped you and many others. I'll share this video with others who've gone through traumatic life events.
Wonderful lesson
Gracias, estoy atravesando momentos de tristeza, todo lo veo mal y no puedo apreciar esos momentos simples y plenos de los que hablas....no soy conciente de ellos y tus palabras me alientan a lo contrario. Gracias!!!!❤
Briliant video, thank you. Hopefully I can implement your ideas.🙏🙏
That was powerful, and I feel you. I've had a similar 'life' before, and I finally realized I'm the gate keeper of my thoughts, and action. Thank you for sharing Connie, wishing you joy, peace, health, and happiness. ❤

Thank you. I was just saying to myself "I feel so down" when this popped up. 🌼
You are so welcome! I hope it helped. Have a beautiful day!
Very good tips. I will give them a try. I need to change my thought process. I really have not been that happy the past several years. A lot of stress with health issues and loosing my mom Nov. 21, 2021 to Alztheimers. It has really taken a toll on me. My dad passed away in Aug. 2014. But I will give it my best shot! Thanks again. 😊
Hi Madelyn, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that some of these tips can help you find peace, and happiness.
Essentially what's being described is cognitive behavioral therapy which has been around for quite a while and is a very well-researched approach for a range of mental health and lifestyle issues. Seems important to give the developers a shout out.
I like that title. I am the GATE KEEPER of my thoughts. Then any better feeling thought. Ive been on this same journey though the reason not the same. Im glad I found tis channel. It is reaffirming the road I am on because. I am seeing results ,no matter how small. Best of luck to you. See you on the road to recovery!
Thank you! I agree, small steps in the right direction is still progress.
Sending you happiness & peace
