I just learned something that has divided my life into before and after: the story of a man who thought he was dying after taking a full bottle of antidepressants.

As he suffered from seizures and awaited an ambulance, he was convinced his end had come. Yet, at the hospital, tests revealed his blood was completely clean.

His friend had secretly replaced his pills with candy. He wasn't experiencing a toxic reaction; his brain had simply convinced his body he was dying.

This proves a profound truth: our minds often cannot distinguish between objective reality and what we deeply believe to be real.
I just learned something that has divided my life into before and after. I read an article about a man who wanted to commit suicide. He ate a whole bottle of some antidepressants. In that moment, he started feeling sick, changed his mind, realized he wanted to live, and called an ambulance. While the ambulance was on its way, he was already lying there having seizures. They, of course, quickly evacuated him, tried to revive him, brought him to the hospital, and took blood samples. And imagine their surprise when they found out there were no toxic substances in his blood. How so, you ask? It turns out this man lived with a friend, and one day his friend saw that he had become dependent on antidepressants and quietly replaced them with some pills that were just candy. So, what does this mean? It means the human brain convinced him that his body was dying, and he felt all the symptoms and was on the brink of death when, in reality, nothing was threatening his life. Now, imagine what would happen if you trained your mind and your subconscious for something powerful, positive, and pleasant every single day? Our mind cannot tell the difference between reality and what you believe to be real. That is why it is very important what you say about yourself and how you say it. And I think it is the perfect time to fill your subconscious with something very pleasant.
