"He has changed my life in so many ways already"

I'm loving the whole Mindvalley experience and I wanted to share something relating to Jim Kwik's webinar.

In 2003 I suffered an asthma attack so severe I had prolonged hypoxia and consequently suffered a heart attack....twice in one day. I was clinically dead for more than eight minutes the first time and was rushed to the nearest doctor who resuscitated and intubated me. Approximately 20 minute later, in the back of an ambulance, I started fitting and pulled the tube out of my throat and was clinically dead AGAIN for at least twelve minutes, with ongoing CPR en route to hospital. I arrived DOA and stay in an induced coma for 4-5 days. There was a 50% chance I would survive and if I did I was going to be in a vegetative state. Forever! 

As you can tell, I not only survived, I'm living. 

I was told that cognitive impairment was irreparable after the first year. My sense of timing was so warped that 5 minutes would seem like 3 hours if I was left alone. I still have some problems in that area though not as much. I REFUSED to accept what I was told because I had heard of the neuroplasticity of the brain and I may have been a little stubborn. I began my rehabilitation by attempting to write my name with a pen. After 2 years I was able to live a seemingly "normal life". 10 years later I earned a Diploma in Counselling then worked as a social worker for a few years but unfortunately the stress was too much. Most of this stress was caused by my inability to manage time, my inability to recall faces, names and stories attached to those names and faces. In Counselling and Social Work this is paramount and I felt like a failure.

You see, my "normal" since this life changing experience has always been complete BLANKS in MEMORY and 'faking it until I make it". I couldn't remember names OR faces. I constantly forget EVERYTHING! My phone alarm goes off all day with reminders for things that most people remember and take for granted. I had given up all hope of getting any better at this stage as I realised I was lucky enough to have the cognitive function that I do now, fifteen years later. I'm very limited in the social side of my life as I fear I will forget things and live in constant fear of embarrassing myself. 

It's been easier to stay in the safety of my small circle of friends and family Until NOW! I don't mean to sound like a paid advertisement but I just purchased the Jim Kwik training as I am blown away by the things I have been able to teach my family and remember myself after watching the free session alone!! It makes so much sense to me! I don't know how to contact Jim to let him know but I'm hoping SOMEONE can pass my message on! He has changed my life in so many ways already and I have hope for a better life for the first time! I'm using Jim's course as a foundation for homeschooling my son who was LABELLED dyslexic at school and needed remedial work. This crushed his self esteem. Now he has a PASSION for music and practices guitar playing every day. He is so smart and he also watched Jim's webinar and loved it. 

I can't thank Mindvalley enough for giving us this opportunity to change our lives.
