How To Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs

[@tashashouse]

Thank you. I am extremely depressed. I'm lonely and bored. It does feel like life is over. No I'm not suicidal. I just finished ANOTHER round of physical rehab and was amped to join a gym. Working out with weights feels wonderful (I was physical active before I was injured) and definitely improved my pain level. But it didn't happen. I can barely get out of bed now. I can't seem to maintain motivation. Sigh. Thank you for your videos.

I’ve been there before. It’s rough but you can make it through. Just remember that it’s temporary and you have the power to change! Slow and steady wins the race

@@Wheels2Walking Thank you so much. Its like my family dont like I use wheelchair. Its for way less pain free then walking with crutches in pain

[@BoosBeesAndBuddies]

My situation is a little different. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (so my joints dislocate, sublux, and there is a lot of chronic pain, fatigue, and comorbidities) I started watching your channel because I am getting my first wheelchair! My condition isn’t progressive, but my symptoms where triggered in my late teens, so I haven’t always felt like this. Getting my wheelchair first seemed to be a burden, but now seems to be my chance at more independence. My community is full of a lot of people who are in pain, and sometimes that translates to depression and negative attitudes (which I don’t blame them, I have been there too) but watching your videos has been a breath of fresh air! Seeing someone use a wheelchair and excel at life is so inspiring to me! Even though are situations are a bit different, I have related a lot to your videos. I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for being the person that you needed in the beginning, for me!

[@Hopeandpeaceinjesus]

Because of you and your videos I have never felt chair frustration or chair shame- infact in my chair I feel like a goddess, I’ve never been so confident as I have since the moment I sat my butt in my chair. Someone asked me about this during my last live stream and I credited the absolute wheels out of you my dude! I actually plan on making a video about my first year in a chair and how You set me up for success. Please never quit youtube, when I’m in a funk and let my flat go i binge watch you from the beginning and do my housework. Much love wheelie bro!

[@zachrucker6717]

Hey man, great vid. I'm 5 years into a muscular dystrophy diagnosis with no treatment options. I'm part time in a wheel chair, but cannot push it on my own for long. Its so hard to go from complete independence to relying on others to get me where I wanna go. Its such a process to get to a good mental place.

[@chloemahr]

I use a lightdrive that pushes me :) i didnt like the smartdrive mine kept disconecting alot or reconnecting and sending me flying towards traffic. Plz be careful smartdrives can be dangerous. I have RA and fibro im unable to push for long either

[@DanOnWheels]

I use a SmartDrive with the Switchcontrol (thumb throttle) in the latched mode rather than the watch to control it. The Switchcontrol connects to the SmartDrive via a cable, so you don’t have to worry about Bluetooth interference and the only battery you have to monitor is the SmartDrive itself. I always had trouble with the watch control, either losing Bluetooth connection, not detecting the taps, bruises from tapping, or worrying about my watch losing power. I’m over weight, but trying to lose some. So far I’m down 60 pounds. I have impingements and tendinosis in both shoulders so I cannot push up inclines or for very long. The SmartDrive has been a game changer for me. I can push myself around the house or on hard flat surfaces, but use the SmartDrive going up inclines (including the ramp into my van), on carpet or for long pushes.

[@lonniemason3084]

Thank you for your inspiration. I grew up in severe abuse. I have fought for years to break free. Now im finally finding the freedom to do what I want, my body is breaking down because of the years of abuse. I have spent years sitting at home, accepting I just won't be able to do the things I had dreamed of. A month ago I bought a wheel chair. It is changing my life. I don't have to be 100% able to get out. With the chair I can go out and do things I haven't done for years. Im looking forward to trying things like Bush walking etc. Just need to work on my upper body strength so I dont always need my partner to push me. I love watching your videos. Thank you again.

[@1wikidpurplerose]

I just started watching your channel. Your video about why you use a wheelchair if you can walk was something I needed to hear back in 2011. I'm a very atypical injury. I didn't have that one cataclysmic injury that most people have. I broke my neck twice and never knew it. Hairline fractures, compression fractures and every disc ruptured in two separate accidents back around 95 and 97. I didn't find out until 2011. My world changed when I found out. I had some bad therapy which caused the spinal cord damage. I had surgery, found out that that therapy should never have been done. The surgery took care of the worst parts of the stenosis caused by the damage. My nerves had rewired through the scar tissue formed after the initial damage. The surgery left me rewired again. Everything works pretty well, my brain works faster than my body, my body doesn't always respond in the correct way or in time. I literally can not walk in a crowd. I am so glad I found you. I wish I'd found you sooner. I was a member of a great SCI group online but still found acceptance a bit hard. I "didn't fit the mold". Thank you!

[@Themostuselesssofa]

"Just because I'm not able to do it ToDay doesn't mean I won't be able to do it SomeDay." "You can do anything you want with your life, you just have to be willing to work hard to get it" "Who wants, looks for ways, who doesn't looks for reasons" "Moderation with all things" - These are my life mottos and I think it is so true.

[@Wheels2Walking]

[@anneargo-davies692]

Fake it till you make it, it really works. Also smile, no matter how much you hurt keep smiling it really helps to boost mood. If you give up, everyone else will too. I am not disabled, I just have different abilities. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis when I was 16, I thought my life was over. After over 35 surgeries, the loss of vision, medication that prevents me from being able to have children, and being unable to work in a profession I really loved, I am still here. I fight everyday, some fights are little like getting out of bed every day. Some fights are big, like getting out of bed every day, but I get out of bed EVERY DAY. It is okay to ask for help, people really want to, they just need direction. Do your therapy, both physical and mental, if you don't you cheat yourself. It has been almost 40 years that I have lived with this disease and I have had struggles. I will continue to have struggles, but I'm not beat yet. You are stronger than you think. Thankyou very much for this channel, it really helps to know that we are not alone.

You Made me cry, thanks tho! Still have a long road ahead of me.

Thinking about my future which i cant imagine YET. We will see how it’ll work out as long as i stay positive. I am not a failure ❤️

[@avidfan47]

It took me almost 4 years. Meanwhile, you should have at least a standard chair available. Letters from PCP, therapist necessary, and I'm sure you've been working on it. Dont give up! Good luck.

[@GigglingStar]

Get a GoFundMe page it will be quicker. People are sick of giving money to charities. Make a video so people know it's a genuine cause and you will soon have the money you need to buy a chair.

[@Lillymae-gq4oe]

. I’d sustained lower spine injuries due to a waterskiing accident 20+ yrs ago. The chronic sciatic nerve damage and pain is brutal. I defied the doctors prognosis and can somewhat walk still, but need aids to assist me. I fort the idea of a wheelchair as all I could see was, roadblocks. I’d found you 2 weeks ago and I’m ever so grateful that I did, as you’ve shown me, my beliefs had to change. I’m now being assessed and measured for a W/chair. I knew I’d become my worst nightmare due to, the way I saw myself and what I thought I couldn’t do anymore. I had to retrain my way of thinking, so then… Doing things had to be done differently. Thank you for all your vlogs, I’ve binge watched nearly all of them. 😊

[@thelonman65]

T3 paraplegic automobile/tractor trailer accident. Been a wheelchair user for 36 years and you are spot on! I had to have open heart surgery to repair my aorta from the mva. I was all down and out about being a paraplegic. I was speaking with my cardio-thoracic surgeon about what I was going to do with my life now and he said to me, "Lonnie, you have two choices in life... you either do it... or you don't". It's been the thing that has set challenges for me the past 36 years. I embrace my disability. But I don't let it dictate who I am. My wife and I, along with our 4 children, have never let it slow us down! Love your channel! Keep up the great work!

“The only thing is to try, and if you don’t try, you’ll never know”!! So very true, I had the mindset in spinal rehab of “I’ll never be able to do anything, I was a professional chef before, I still have the knowledge and skills I learnt but had to find new way to use them with my quad hands.....learning how to do something differently is key to trying new things....thanks Richard

[@lala_lou93]

I've been in a wheelchair for close to a year now, but known about my disability since I was a kid. Most ppl around and tv and movies made me think differently about disability, so I too saw it as a bad thing, and never wanted ppl to know that I had "something wrong with me" so to say. I have had spine problems since I was 7 years old and grew up living with the horrible pain, even after surgery that never fixed it. I used to want to be a cheerleader and had so many dreams that I ended up telling myself I'm too disabled, I'm too fat, I'm too short, that could never be me. But I never wanted to fully acknowledge my disability, even when my doctors begged me to stop working the high intensity jobs I was doing.. I should have listened back then because I ended up really hurting myself in the long run. But even then I still didn't want to be looked at for being disabled. And this year got really bad at the beginning, I ended up having to use a wheelchair. I still feel that I'm not good enough and I still feel ashamed kind of for being disabled. I feel like a waste of space sometimes, but it's getting better. I'm not super embarrassed in public anymore, unless someone has to push me. But I'm hoping that I can clear that up as well. I'm starting to lose weight and helping myself to feel happier and better about life. And maybe even finally diving into some of the dreams I have about things I wanna do with my life. So thank you for helping, and I'm so glad I've found your channel and others like you ❤

[@lala_lou93]

The one thing I still don't know how to do now that I accept my disability, is making friends.. I had lots of friends that I thought were gonna be there through everything with me.. but the moment they heard "disabled" and heard I use a wheelchair, they ran the other direction without warning. They started saying "yeah I miss you too, we should totally hangout" and then never talk to me again, most have even blocked me... and honestly, it put me off to finding new friends. I wish I had at least 1 person I could just talk to or hangout with or something. But everyday of my life I'm just sitting here in the house trying to keep myself out of depression, cuz I don't wanna go down that again. But man, it's really hard

8:54 Yeah, back when I got my wheelchair, I was really reluctant to actually use it for the first few days, but when I finally sucked it up and got in the chair, and was able to get around, and help out at home, as well as be more independent when going outside, all my prejudices were immediately erased. Yeah, it's still a bit sad that I depend on the wheelchair, but on the other hand, with the wheelchair, I'm no longer tied to my bed and unable to do what I want to do.

That ia was too embarrassed to go into a supermarket and ...for a while I truly thought that.. it wasn’t until I moved into a completely different rebadged clinic when I then realised that I could!! Now fast forward 15 years I’m still using a.wheelchair, but bro i try to embrace life and more than ever.. I like being a wheelchair user, or disabled.. there are some really really great perks. ,like being first onto a plane Being disabled has given me more out of life I don’t think I would have experienced if I wasn’t disabled So rock on you are an inspiration

[@CrystalMouse1]

I'm gonna be honest right now. I'm envious of people with obvious injuries who use wheelchairs. I have POTS, chronic fatigue, aspergers and fibromyalgia. Even my own doctors have trouble believing that I'm struggling as much as I am and am housebound without my chair. We had to use our savings to buy it because Medicare didn't think me disabled enough to need one. Even you would probably be disqualified because you can walk across the room a few feet! It's insane. I have often wished a car would hit me so I'd have a visible injury that would leave no doubt of my need for a chair. Plus I don't have a energy to do all the awesome stuff you can. My partner can't push me because he's disabled too. But I'm very happy with what I can do. Would you please do a video on different kinds of wheelchair users and invite imput?

[@shywolf4]

I have Ehlers Danlos Symdrome and POTS. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia for years before I found the right doctor. I also could really use a chair for long distances but can not afford it due to Medicare restrictions. Sometimes the barriers are financial.

On Sunday we went to a water fall. You can climb over the rocks. You bet your ass I got out of that wheelchair, grabbed my crutch and my husband and friends and got up in those rocks. Sure, I've spent the past few days suffering for it, but hey it was gosh darn worth it. After my belief for soo long I can't do X y and z ever again. I forget that maybe, just maybe I can, I just need a hand to do it. Past few months I'd been looking at an exercise and diet programme , it's a lot of money I was thinking I'll never be able to do that. Then it popped up on my local charity. I thought it was a little seminar explaining what this guy is doing etc etc. Why not maybe It'll push me to pull the money together. Turns out the charity hosting the event is willing to pay for the full programme. Well you bet your backend I'm gonna force myself to do it. I know it's gonna be hellish, I know I'm gonna struggle. But I also know I really need this right now, because I need to push on my belief system and see what is real and what's just worries. Fingers crossed I can stick to it, cause I really need some help right about now to figure it all out.

Wheels2Walking one time I used the words “crippling self doubt” unironically in a serious conversation and my friend couldn’t help by laugh 😂

Great video Richard! Where did you film this one? I’d this on the beltline?

Hey Kim! No, I’m on the Chattahoochee River walk in Roswell off Azalea dr

@@Wheels2Walking I'm familiar with the area. Used to work in Marietta, then ATL. Back when I was healthy I took a long run down the Chatahoochee leading 2 other canoes. I had a novice in the front who couldn't read water at all. He was fat too, and blocked my view. Got us into the water, but I told him I'd knock his head off with my paddle if he rolled the canoe! He hung his arm over it as I told him and didn't prevent me from swimming us to shore. Gee it was fun to be healthy. Haven't been back in a canoe since about1987. I really miss that. I'm rolling a power chair now. Thanks for the memory, Richard. Keep the mind right, buddy! Absolutely love your videos. You're my go-to for a good kick in the pants!

Can you do a video on your bowel program? I’m recently injured and it’s literally been the worst thing for me.thanks Richard. My boyfriend and I watch your videos all the time! Now he has it stuck in his head that I need to transfer as good as you. I’m like it’s been two months buddy, chill. Lol ❤️

first 2-4 months it was uncontrollable for me and it would go every 1-2 days by itself , then it stopped and I had to use Dulcolax Suppositories(used them if 5 days passed without pooping, U just put 1 in your ass, wait 5 minutes and go to the toilet and be there for 30 minutes until it's done), after about 7 months I could poop normally every 1-5 days, found out that a big bowl of popcorn helps with the movement for me, and when I started crawling it helped with the movement too.

Are you still answering questions??

[@silkedavid8876]

Well, I am not a person this was addressed to, so I think I need to watch it more than once to get a message out of this for me. But it is so american! I dated an American, and we were at a concert by a band with a hit ...something America. He sad to me, why is everyone so obsessed with America and the people? I answered: Because you are weird! I know you are getting back to your roots, and this video was more aimed at newly injured people, and a great message it is. I guess we Europeans could do with more of the positive, go get it attitude., you can achieve your dreams if you only work hard. On a side note, how long did it take to film and how many takes did you do as you got "interrupted" by people coming past?
