Finding Nirvana: Jill Bolte Taylor’s paradigm shift A paradigm is defined in Stephen Covey’s 2014 video as “a mental image that you have in your mind of the way things are out there. These are the images we carry in our head of reality and these images come from our own backgrounds, our own experiences. They represent the implicit assumptions of our lives.” A paradigm shift is changing that mental image. Paradigm shifts occur all the time and can flip your way of thinking on its ear.

She states that she was very busy with work and NOMI, to the point that while having her stroke she even said she didn’t have time for a stroke.

At the end of the video she says that she had the choose to be all about herself or to be part of a bigger picture. She choose to be part of the bigger picture, and now gives motivational speeches.
