Sports psychologist Rudi Webster who has worked with the India and West Indies sides, writes in the Mid Day that Yuvraj's power of perception of his illness will go a long way in fast-tracking his recovery from cancer.
Yuvraj's thinking, attitude and mental state will be critical in his recovery because they will enable him to tap into the enormous healing powers that already lie within him. For centuries yogis have been telling us about the powerful effects of the mind on the health and function of the body.
Yuvraj will change the path and trajectory of his recovery if he changes the limiting beliefs and values, and the negative thinking and mental pictures that are likely to hold him back. The values, thoughts and pictures that he puts in his mind today will determine what he becomes tomorrow.
