Listen Later

On this week’s episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine shares his compelling and personal tale of resilience of the recent snowmobile accident that left him with serious injuries and a harrowing journey towards recovery. 

 

Shortly after completing his PhD in Global Leadership & Change, Mark accepted an invitation to explore Northern Quebec by way of a snowmobiling adventure. The would-be rejuvenating experience soon turned into a test of resilience and fortitude, leaving Mark with multiple fractures and a punctured lung. 

 

Mark shares these details not solely for the purpose of recounting a personal story, but to explore the pivotal role his extensive training and mindset played on the road to healing. He dives into the techniques he uses—-from advanced visualization to staying physically active to the extent of his recovery capacity. In addition, Mark explores alternative healing methods, like peptides and the potential use of stem cells to illustrate a holistic approach to healing.

 

Mark provides a fascinating look into how one’s philosophies on life can, and do provide a valuable framework to overcome even the most significant of challenges! 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Opportunity From Adversity: Listen to Mark recount how this challenging experience actually deepened his mindfulness practice and strengthened his familial relationships. He reminds listeners that every setback can become an opportunity for growth. 

 

  • Tools For Resilience: Discover the power of tools like maintaining a positive mindset and creative visualisation in getting through a crisis and improving your day-to-day life. 

 

  • Mindful Recovery: Recognize how staying active is crucial in recovery—-but it must be done within the limits of your capabilities.
