Pain Is A Terrible Thing to Waste

If you’ve been a long term patient of mine, you will notice that I get excited for you when you are in pain.  It’s not because I enjoy watching others in pain or suffering, it’s because I see pain as an opportunity for you to change your life in some way….that is why, pain, is a terrible thing to waste.

What does pain tell us?  Pain tells us 3 things: 1. Stop 2. Pay Attention 3. Do something different

​Stop

Stop could mean something as simple as stopping what you are doing that is causing the pain.  For instance, lifting things that are too heavy or lifting with pour posture. Most often, when we think of stopping something, we take it to mean something physical.  Since we are not just physical beings, we need to consider stopping something emotional or mental as well. Are you having an argument with someone or holding on to past hurts in your body?  Are your thoughts to yourself gentle and kind or do you treat yourself harshly?

Pay Attention

This is an opportunity to examine how you got to where you are now.  Have you been dropping your standards in one place? Have you stopped exercising, eating well, etc and weakened your body and immune system so that you are more prone to getting hurt?  

Have you been upset or frustrated about something lately and have simply let it build instead of addressing it and now it’s affecting your health and your life?

Pay attention to the events, physical, emotional and mental that have been leading up to where you are now.  Have you been really busy running around and now that you’ve twisted your ankle, you finally need to stop, rest and take care of yourself.

Assess where you are now and what life is trying to tell you with your pain.  Do you have sciatica aka a pain in the butt and there are people in your life that are literally being a pain in the butt to you?

Do Something Different

If you keep doing the same things over and over again, you’ll keep getting the same results that you’ve always gotten.  One of the reasons that people get the same pains again is because the same patterns of behaviour are the same.

To get different results, you need to do something different….physically, emotionally and mentally.
