In this short coaching segment, David Brimacombe introduces a concrete, low‑effort gratitude exercise designed to support post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) and brain‑healing recovery. He advises placing a sticky note on a mirror that you will see repeatedly throughout the day. On the note, write a single gratitude statement—anything from appreciation for another day, a kind comment you received, or the chance to improve yourself. Each time you pass the mirror, you pause, read the note, and consciously acknowledge the gratitude, reinforcing a positive, healing rhythm in your life. The practice is framed as a way to shift your mindset from chronic pain and negativity toward a more hopeful, restorative perspective, supporting overall PCS recovery.

Chapters

Start simple. Start with the basics. Now, I started with a sticky on a mirror, a sticky on a mirror that I knew I was going to walk past throughout the day. Now, that one point of gratitude could be something simple. You're grateful for another day. You're grateful for something that someone said the day prior, or you're grateful for the opportunity to improve and be a better person today. Whatever the case, you're going to put it on that sticky, and every time you walk by, I want you to acknowledge it. I want you to think to yourself, That is me, that is the rhythm of my life. I'm trying to be more positive, I'm trying to see the world in a light where I am healing instead of always hurting.
