In this brief motivational segment, David Brimacombe explains that when a person with post‑concussion syndrome (or any lingering health issue) constantly thinks about their symptoms, those symptoms dominate their perception and experience. He argues that this attentional focus creates a feedback loop that makes the symptoms feel louder and more pervasive. To break the cycle, he advises deliberately shifting attention toward other aspects of life—family, friends, work, hobbies, and passions—so that the mind registers a broader range of experiences, reducing the dominance of symptom‑related thoughts.
