[TexasMom17]

Absolutely, the mind rules and is KEY in healing and restoring. Big believer! Great message Lisa...

[AskNurseLisa]

@TexasMom17 Deb....if you can survive your baby getting married.....you will make it through almost anything! LOL

[TexasMom17]

@AskNurseLisa True dat. But, on second thought, if I survive their living here the next year...then I KNOW I can...lol

Thanks fir sharing these stories, Lisa! I had heard about the Mark Bros. story, but not the five bullets in the brain...

[AskNurseLisa]

@phekwig The story of Mr. Cousins and his fight for his life is a famous one. I still recommend reading up on him as there was so much to his life...

The story of his battle with heart disease is also notable...

This is a truly amazing video Lisa!! Having a postitive attitude and spirit, is one of the most essential things everyone needs to be able to make it in life, and it can make a huge difference in the way you look at things.

Very great video!

I'm constantly monitoring my attitude. Not perfect but I working in the right direction and aware.

[AskNurseLisa]

@oldvision I am so glad to hear that. I am doing the same thing too. These days, crazy stuff is getting thrown my way.....so every day is a new challenge to keep my head on my shoulders and fulfill my New Year's resolution to have some FUN this year....!!!!!!!!

One of my strengths is problem solving. It's a big part of my livelyhood. I can honestly say that most, if not all the problems I've worked with, would not have been solved without a healthy dose of positive thinking. The down side is that I interface with a lot of negative thinking problem creators. It's very discouraging. I have to take steps to insulate myself from them. I hope you had a good Easter.

[AskNurseLisa]

@EdElisea WOW Ed...what a way to put it....people who actually CREATE problems with their negative thinking....I am dealing with a few people like that as well these days....it is not fun...

A huge number of problems are caused this way....

Find what makes you laugh and get as much of it as you can. You can never laugh too much in this world.

Thanks, Lisa. I hope your Easter was beautiful.

A truly amazing story, thanks for sharing:-)

[darktoadthesticky]

I have always stayed positive by playing games with the nurses. Maybe you have played it? I call it find the patient. I hide somewhere in the hospital when ever they try to give me a shot. And then they search for me. Very fun.

[hallbe]

amen! now...is there a happy thinking pill? ;-)

[AskNurseLisa]

@hallbe No.....I suggest watching middle aged while guys rap on the internet.

That is ALWAYS good for a laugh...and a smile....:)

You can meet friends that way, too..:)

[VirtuallyAddicted]

Great message! :)

I know I'm not wired to be positive, but I have tried to change my thinking around. It's helped. I was supposed to be in the hospital for a week after my angio plasty and I was out in 4 days and drove the hour and half to my apartment. Started walking the next day. :)

If I can be positive anyone can.

[couchpotatotheatre]

This was a tough video to ignore in any way. You had me stuck to the screen. You really told it like it is. Great Job. I mean that, watched all the way through. I'm a fan Lisa.

[CountryComesToTown]

I agree Lisa. I really do think that the power of positive thinking can do more good than almost anything we do outside of medicine. Thanks for these videos! -Jim
