Rewire Your Brain To Find The Extraordinary | Julie Wilkes | TEDxNewAlbany

Julie's talk centers around the question, "Would you live differently if you knew...?" and she will discuss and contrast if life offers us answers and insight that we overlook. She will share an experience in which her heart stopped for over 9 minutes in hopes it may inspire you to look at your life with new eyes.
As a heart disease survivor, Julie believes she was given a second chance at life for a reason. She finds that when sharing the inspiration behind her second chance with others, she is living her life purpose. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you so much, Julie! I've been in a dark place in my life for the last year or so & this has inspired me to work on changing my thought patterns & the way I react to various circumstances in my life, both good & bad.

My life map is just going in circles in a constant uphill battle. At this point in life I'm not even surviving, but I will try to take some of your ideas and use them. Maybe life will eventually get better?

Vegas Cycling Freak I get it!! Your words are exactly why I gave this talk. I think we all feel this way often, and so I wanted to give some assurance that you are right where you are supposed to be and even when you feel off track, you probably aren’t- and are just a turn away from feeling connected in again. Be kind to yourself, let go of the stuff that doesn’t serve you or elevate you and know that you make a difference in this world!!

HA HA I'm so sorry but at 3:00 all I could think about was Tanya from White Lotus

[@tanergirgin6569]

Talking about a very sad event regarding the death of a little boy and then about positivity is such a contrast, almost disconnected.

Seems like a very nice lady. But this feels more like a vanity speech (she admits TEDx talks are her favorite things to do) than a serious look at changing brain anatomy. If you're looking for a positive pep talk, you found it. If you want more insight, you might want to move on.
