By attending to your internal state – by actively slowing down your system, you’re not just telling your brain that you’re safe, you’re showing it that you’re safe.

Don't believe everything that you hear. Especially if it's your own mind talking.

This state of preoccupation with worry, fear, despair, & frustration has become so familiar that you go there out of habit. The problem is that these fear thoughts further reinforce messages of danger to your brain & can keep you in a pain state. So, how do you break this habit?
Sciatica Success retweeted
We have beliefs about pain.
Most people have experienced pain (a rare few can’t) and have been told things about it.
The one thing the person knows is that it hurts and has a particular quality—the actual experience.

Messages of safety involve simple, direct, and compassionate ways to reassure your brain that you are safe. When experiencing constant worry, fear, and pain it can feel impossible to give yourself messages of safety because you think you need to feel safe in order to do so.

Pain is NOT in here.
Pain is a perception. A lived experience of the (whole) person in their lived world.
Nothing less

The Painful Truth is out in paperback today!
Pain is a universal - but wildly misunderstood - feeling. Persistent pain is one of the fastest growing health crises of our time.
If you want to dip your toes into the new science of why we hurt (and how we can heal) get it today!

Remember to prioritize yourself. Even when you have somewhere to be, someone to help, a symptom to manage. Taking small moments to just give your brain some attention is enough.

The New Year is an opportunity to ask yourself, “How can I continue to grow?” Whether it’s searching for moments to laugh more, increasing your self-awareness, or remembering to water that temperamental plant, please take some time to identify a few small (or big!) goals.#NewYear
