He walked into the hospital and was sent home. Leaving the hospital Adam collapsed and went into a coma. Adam was in a coma for months and did years of rehab, but now he is a fully functioning adult improving the lives of brain injury survivors.<\/p>\n<p>Wear a Helmet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#HelmetsAreCool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Documentary Helmets Are Cool premiering this October by foundation High Fives.

He is starting his Master&#8217;s degree this fall! Adam would recommend going to school for ANYONE with a brain injury. Even if you already have finished college and are an adult both adam and I strongly recommend everyone go back to college, even signing up for a few classes at community college will work. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Neuroplasticity is your brain.

So what is mindfulness? It is consciously focusing on the present moment. Sounds fairly simple, but learning how to do it is challenging but helps the individual create their luck. The brain is a muscle so it can heal after brain injury damage, and focusing on mindfulness improves the four lobes of your brain and your overall brain health.<\/p>\n<p>The Brain Injury of Utah (BIAU) offers a class on mindfulness yoga at 4 pm Mountain Time every 1st and 3rd Friday of every month. Look them up on Facebook or call to find out how to get involved. It is a free class so there is NOTHING to stop you from getting involved and healing your mind. This is valuable for ANYONE overcoming a struggle, and Adam said all individuals are welcome.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mocrazystrong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/53_file.png\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ANY person with practice, training, and time can achieve some level of control over the mindset.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone with a brain injury can take steps to heal.<\/li>\n<li>There is no timeline for the healing process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Questions: <strong><a href=\"mailto:MoCrazyStrong@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MoCrazyStrong@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mocrazystrong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20_file.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em> Jamie &#8220;MoCrazy&#8221; Crane-Mauzy<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Talk Show Host- Life Gets MoCrazy on the Brain Injury Radio Network<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Full-time student at Westminster College, SLC, Utah<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Motivational Public Speaker<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have a brain injury?
