How do we speak to ourselves all day?
Regarding our chronic pain, how does it make us feel,
what emotions do we have about it and are we even aware of them?
Living with chronic pain often means you build a negative self-image overtime.
I don’t speak to myself in a positive way as much as I should.
How is that for you?
It’s more likely that you will encounter scenes like this:
Me, sitting on a bench, head down, speaking to my body:
“You failed me.” (Don Corleone voice)
“Your inner landscape is the anchor of your experience
It is richer than your outer landscape,
no matter how awesome the night sky,
or how immense the turbulent ocean that is rushing toward you.”
Gary Zukav- The heart of the soul
All the negative speak can affect us (and our pain) for the worse;
bad posture-shallow breathing-hyperventilation, TMS…..
Body, mind and spirit being connected, we have to become more aware
of our inner landscape and how we talk to ourselves all day.
Are we our own worst critic or biggest supporter?
