Clean Body – Clean Mind – Clean Soul
One of my big goals this year is to have a healthy body inside and out!
This means not only focusing on what I eat, but also focusing on what I am doing actively, mentally and emotionally.
Here are some of my tips and steps to put this in action. Maybe you could try this too and cleanse that body and soul of yours :)
It seem’s like there are more and more spinal cord injury success stories happening every day and with each one I am lucky enough to come across, they just provide me with a HUGE boost! So to help you have that same boost, I will be sharing them as I myself find them.
This man is unreal! My trainer Tony told me to google Stanley Yoo today as we were discussing getting my butt back into action as to be honest, I had put my recovery on hold a bit to focus on other things. But have decided 2013 is MY YEAR!
After reading and watching this mans story it’s fair to say, if he can do it, so can I!
Hey Guys,
I can’t believe Christmas is literally right around the corner! This year has just flown and although I am very proud of the things that I have achieved this year, I really also am looking forward to this year being over.
Last year was all about independence for me. Moving out of home, driving again etc., and even though I achieved these things, I got very sick and had quite a lot of hospital visits with a few close calls. Death was cheated yet again! I have pretty much convinced myself that there is definitely someone watching over me, and although I am not a religious person, I really have a newfound belief in god.
One of the great things that is happening in my life at the moment is that I have gotten involved with a program called Spin Chat.
The SpinChat program aims to raise awareness, promote prevention and educate secondary students about spinal cord injury. The program sees young people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) and in wheelchairs, visit high school students* to talk about life before their injury, the cause of their injury, and life since. A strong focus of the presentation is on risk minimisation and the consequences of careless or high-risk activities such as dangerous driving or diving into shallow waters.
During my journey I have been lucky enough to have met some pretty incredible people that have inspired and motivated me to recover to the best of my abilities. Some of these whom I have created amazing friendships with!
Today, the 18th of September marks the third anniversary of my accident. While this is usually a sad time, as my accident happened while celebrating my best friends birthday, this year I want to celebrate this date as a happy time! People might think I am crazy, what’s happy about your life taking a complete 360 and ending up in a wheelchair you might ask?
For the first time since the accident that left Rhiannon a quadriplegic four years ago, Rhiannon and her family will be returning to Bali on Christmas Eve.
Here she will be revisiting the Jayakarta Resort where her diving accident occurred, as well as the hospital in which she almost lost her life.
Here she will be posting second daily video blogs and an online journal of this experience! Make sure to add this page to your favourites to keep up to date, and feel free to leave comments below!
