In the NFL, it has been said, "You only get drafted once in your life.", kind of like the military too. However, for those of us with TBI's, we already know, we can get 'drafted' multiple times, (w/another TBI) if we're not PAYING ATTENTION. No matter what we do, there are two kinds of peole in this World, Those of us with Brain Injuries and those who haven't gotten them yet. You could be drafted next...(or again) Driving down the road, riding your bicycle, hiking, skiing, skating, or any one of a thousand different things Mankind has adopted into society. ARE YOU PREPARED TO BE DRAFTED?   We can not change the fact we've acquired a Brain Injury, but tonight on WTF?, Kevin &amp; the Marvelous Maggie will share a new perspective on how you can start creating a FUNctional LIFE again and have FUN doing it. If not, WTF?   Tune in this week to add another perspective to your daily repertoire.  If there is something in particular you would like to hear Kevin discuss, join us on Fridays and share in the chat room with the "Marvelous Maggie" (Kevin's 24/7 Partner and Professional Care Assistant)]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>5420</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>brain injury radio network,functional life,kevin a phillips,wtf</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c1b77d13d4662ed3fa84171d26e2e02c.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>WTF - w/Kevin A.

What comes to mind when you see or hear these words? SUMMER!   For many of us, we enjoy being outdoors, soaking up the sun and fresh air, working up a sweat gardening or playing in the yard, listening to the sweet tunes of the birds and crickets, and watching butterflies flutter and the bees buzzing by. We also see an increase of outdoor physical activities such as cycling, riding motorcycles, skateboarding, swimming, waterskiing, rock climbing, baseball, and jumping on the trampoline. What do these sports have in common? The need to take precautions to prevent injury, especially brain injuries.   But what about after a TBI….could we still enjoy these activities? How did you adapt to these activities you once loved to do? What are alternative safe activities that we can participate in, enjoy and still feel like we are having fun in the sun?

Research studies show that the brain uses different frequencies of waves to send different kinds of information, just like radio stations play songs and news on different frequencies. When we turn the knob to find a favorite station, we filter through different frequencies to get to that station; however, whenever the knob jams, then we're stuck with listening to static noise and mixed messages, which makes it difficult to understand. We then get distracted or sidetracked, fumbling with the dial to get a clear signal, and when we finally do get to the right station, we are already too tired and/or frustrated to listen and enjoy.   Sound familiar? Our brain injury is like that jammed dial...the trick is learning how to adjust that "knob" so that we can switch back and forth between those frequencies (strategies) efficiently and enjoy our favorite stations.

As Human Beings, while we have created words and sentences to form questions, statements and definitions, we think (and create) in images (aka pictures).   Understand the words we use in thought and speech, creates the realities that we see. For those who have Traumatic Brain Injuries, some have been conditioned to beLIEve we're lost, crazy, pathetic, psychotic, looney or weird, all because of how we 'respond' to (or fail to) those around us. As a result, we have created some unique 'graffiti' or 'paintings'.   Regardless of when the TBI may have been obtained, there is HOPE (Having Observed Positive Energy) for all who are reading this.
