I had a bad head injury at the beginning of this year… knocked out, no recall whatsoever of 9 days, couldn’t walk, couldn’t pronounce some words very well, couldn’t breathe out of my right nostril, and double vision.   Upon getting home my dad had bought me a membership to this program.  I’ve always enjoyed reading but found with my vision that wasn’t gonna be happening for a while.   So reading the book Change Your Brain Change Your Life wasn’t gonna be happening for a bit so I started doing a little of the online program and my mom got me into lumosity games.  How I make my living Dr Amen would frown upon as it is how I got hurt but I’m 41 years old and this is how I make my living.  I am a World Champion in one association, a Reserve Wold Champion with another and I’ve done that on 2 different horses I trained.  I have trained several horses that have been at the very top level in my sport.  It’s what makes me tick, it’s what I genuinely love and I get to center my life around it.  The injury definitely changed me.  I didn’t quite understand the injury and immediately went to try riding when I got home… That was not happening right away lol as one could imagine who is in their right mind… I however was not BUT no one and I mean no one was telling me I couldn’t do it.  1 month after I got home from the hospital I was back on, I was exercising incorporating balancing exercises into my everyday life.  At 4 months I competed on a 4 year old stallion who I trained so I knew and trusted the horse would run straight to his pockets with no dishonesty.  I trusted my training and let him do his thing.  We were 1 tenth off the winning time.  At almost 5 months I competed in a prestigious event and made the Finals which is a tough feat in itself.. BUT I had NO CLUE how fast I was going or depth perception at all…. I go to vision therapy quite often and I now have depth perception and most of my double vision has cleared not all and I am now at 9 months.  I have done well with this injury trying to prove to anyone watching I can still do it.  At any rate with the book I just wrote I just wanted to say how THANKFUL I am for this program…. Back when I still was in much more of a fog than I am today I would listen to the meditation and hypnotherapy on the program and I have a saying I say to myself every day “Everyday in everyway I am better and better, stronger and stronger, more balanced, very focused, and becoming the best barrel racer and best barrel horse trainer ever’  Thank you so much for what you do.  As I continue doing this I am going to be putting out the information I have learned from this program to people in my industry.  I do wear a helmet now.
