Making a plug that everyone should have this book in their library. Josh Waitzken was a world chess champion who crashed after a appearing in a movie about Bobby Fisher's life. Rally crashed, couldn't play.
So he took up Tai Chi just down the block from my office. And began an amazing two year transformation into a martial arts fighter. The wonderful thing about the book is, he describes so vividly the subtlety of the learning process, the way he trained his mind and body differently. It's a beautiful model for all transformation processes, turning what began as a devastating loss into something entirely different, yet drawing so much from his past learnings.
Now this applies to all kinds of things, even post traumatic stress disorder where the recovery is in the new growth that can be made to occur.
Transformation, that's the name of the game. And it comes from redirecting the mind, reorganizing the organization and building new connections and pathways. All you have to do is decide and pay attention to the messages your inner mind and your body feed to you.
