Hello, good morning (and what a lovely one it is in Horsham, Wes Sussex!😊).
Does anyone sense it's a good day before they know it is? Often I wake early and am filled with love, peace and good calm energy if it's a good day BUT I don't know that it is ( and after yesterday's gloom I had no reason to think it would be the beauty it is ).
Also about sensing...when someone is brain injured or damaged could they can become more sensitive right because things are expanded or magnified and at he same time the brain makes new connections so could one of those connections be the ability sense better than the average 'joe'?😂

Yes I do, I always love the fact that its a new day and any crap form the previous day is gone. Love this saying too:
The reason the windscreen is so big and the rear view mirror is so small is that we need to concentrate on whats in front of us and move forward not backwards.
"One day at a time" is another saying that I love too and "keep it simple"
The day is always what you make of it Luke and how you act with what happens in the day.
In early recovery form Bi I used to feel like crap most mornings but always knew they feeling would pass and thats what kept me going. I don't get like that now but used to have bad days when I talked to my parents, always messed with my head and complicated brain capacity, don't have that so much now as iv learned to detach from them.
Sad but was the only way, I'm sure it will get better but at this time it works for me.
Just reading your post makes me feel like tomorrow is going to be a great day.
I don't have a brain injury, a relative does, but I would not doubt that people with TBIs might sometimes experience special sensing capabilities.
I am reading a fascinating book "Extraordinary Knowledge" by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer that deal with jus this kind of phenomenon. The author comes at the subject as a scientifically trained person who developed an open mind based on a chance encounter. I have not finished the book but one thing she notes is that people who experience this kind of unusual sensing experience often report it happened when they were still and disconnected from normal perception. TBIs do lead people to experience such conditions, so perhaps there is a connection.
Another path to this could be what you note -- the fact that TBI can sever normal brain circuits and require the development of alternative processing pathways. In some cases this involves using the part of your brain that normally processes a sense ( e.g. smell) , for something else. Perhaps this process leads to new sensitivity to some signals that were previously ignored.
And then theres consciousness, whatever that is and means!😄
Interesting stuff.
I asked my doctor if I could be any use to medicine as a result of my head injury many years ago...donor and give blood is all he said but its nice to think there is something more 😊
The 'superpowers' have only been good with women so far 😉😄😊
I think we have a heightened awareness in all sorts of ways.
My Anglican Morning Prayer service has the line 'As we rejoice in the gift of this new day...' fairly early on, but I don't think I was fully aware of how much of a gift each new day really is until my aneurysm was discovered.
Knowing each day is so precious - whether because you have an annie that could go pop, or because it already did, or something equally catastrophic happened but you are still here - gives you a very different perception of life, the universe and everything.
It is another gift, and one that not everyone can claim as theirs so it is no wonder we feel different.
Lots of blessings for your beautiful day in Horsham x
