She Changed Her Thoughts – and Walked Into a New Reality

Summary

A person woke up paralyzed overnight 10 months ago, unable to walk, move, or care for themselves, needing to be fed and washed, fully conscious but trapped in their body. Medical professionals told them recovery would take months to 1-2 years to get back on their feet. A nurse introduced them to Dr. Joe's work, and during their hospital stay they watched Dr. Joe's videos day in and day out, practicing visualization and meditation every day. They changed their thought patterns from "I'm dependent on other people, their help, their opinions" to deciding "it's my decision how this is going and how it's going to change," which helped them act differently and wake up every morning full of energy telling themselves "this is a new day, a new chance for a new step." They were imagining themselves walking again, visualizing how it feels to jump, walk, and eat on their own. One day they made the clear decision to leave the hospital on their own, and 4 months after diagnosis and paralysis, they walked out of the hospital independently, defying the medical prognosis of years of recovery.
