8 Building Blocks We Need to Practise:

I believe that no one is too old, too battered or too down-and-out to go after their 2.0.

The power we all have in us to affect our paths is unparalleled - even through the stroke recovery journey!

For me, there are 8 building blocks we need to practise:

You have to challenge your beliefs.

Where did they come from?

Why do you believe this?

And, slowly, begin seeking alternative viewpoints.

Dare to imagine…

a world where you create your own path to recovery. 

Find Your Village

And connect with people who make you sparkle!

Learn to Reframe Setbacks

As a chance to recalibrate, reassess, and rise even stronger. 

Hard, but crucial!

Find your passions! 

And then, attach mini goals to each passion. 

Try to achieve something - no matter how small or seemingly insignificant - each day to put you closer to your goals.

Try the Kooky Stuff!!! 

Tapping. Meditation. Essential oils. Really!! Who’s to say that they don’t work? 

Travel Your Own Path

Recovery is not “one-size-fits-all”. I think you have to find out what works for you! The more you can educate yourself, the more you will know and the better equipped you will feel. 

Self advocacy requires that you know who you are and where you want to go… 

With this practice, I believe that we all can find our inner strength and voice to reach our next version of ourselves - our 2.0s.
