In this chaotic world, fighting with life’s challenges seems like the toughest journey, but literary gems make it easier by offering courage and heightening the spirit. Lina Maria Aristizabal, a well-being educator, resilience coach, and brain injury survivor takes pride in announcing the release of "RAISE YOUR HEAD UP: A No-Nonsense Guide to Getting Your Life Back After Concussion." This important guide offers a complete and practical plan for people who are dealing with a long and challenging journey of recovering from a concussion.
"Raise Your Head Up" uses ideas and tools from well-being science to offer proven methods for building resilience, forming connections, and finding joy during their recovery. The book centers on emotional well-being and helps readers take control of their lives again, finding joy and purpose. Each chapter includes practical tools and exercises that help readers change their thinking and add more positivity to their healing journey.
Unlike regular self-help books, "Raise Your Head Up" takes a direct approach, to give clear and simple advice that’s easy to follow and use. With encouraging words and practical tools, the book motivates readers to take control of their recovery journey, helping them make positive changes in their daily lives.
"Raise Your Head Up" gives a new way of looking at recovering from a concussion, focusing on understanding how and why the mind tends to focus on the negative and to how to support ourselves through negative emotions, thoughts and states. The author, Lina Maria Aristizabal, has lived through years of post-concussion syndrome herself. In the book she combines evidence-based tools with her own insights and experiences. Lina understands what it’s like to have a brain injury and writes with kindness, empathy, and a bit of humor. She talks about parts of living with a brain injury that are often missed or forgotten.
The book gives practical advice to help handle challenges with thoughts, social relationships, acceptance, habits, and overcoming obstacles with confidence and resilience. It reminds readers that they are not alone, even during their toughest times. Lina recognizes how post-concussion syndrome can affect many parts of life, such as finances, relationships, and trust in healthcare systems.
"This book does not offer any health tips or physical recovery tips. It is not about post-concussion syndrome. It is about YOU and what YOU can do to make your experience of life better while you continue to have post-concussion syndrome, persistent concussive symptoms, or whatever it is they are currently calling the multitude of symptoms, issues, difficulties, and pain you continue to have weeks, months, and years after sustaining a concussion," writes Lina.
The book emphasizes the importance of making different choices every day, shifting perspectives, and taking action to reclaim joy and life. Using knowledge, tools, and strategies from applied positive psychology and well-being science, as well as personal development tools, Lina provides readers with a valuable support system on their journey.
The book offers studies, anecdotes, and personal testimonials to support the suggested activities, encouraging readers to be curious and engaged in their recovery process.
