Stroke Of Insight - pain
on page 165, Dr. Taylor says "When i'm in pain, I become quiet, coddle the wound, and consciously surrender into the pain, which helps it dissipate...Once my brain acknowledges the existence of the pain, then it has served its purpose and either lightens up in intensity, or goes away."

i SUPER did this when we were pepper sprayed. i went off to a part of the grass and just sat there and let it happen. it was painful and i was def. talking but i just wanted to be alone and for everyone to stop talking and to just be still.
it seems like the little things are what i need pampering and babying for but with someone huge happens i just want to let it be.
i agree. when i get cramps or a tummy ache, i just want everyone around me to shut the hell up. wouldn't you know it, they don't. i hate sitting next to talkative people on the little HQ bus when i'm trying to focus on controlling my tummy ache.
that's just how i feel...i haven't read the book :(
i have been trying to practice this ever since i read it. i still dont know if it works, but, the power of positive thinking i definitely believe keeps you from letting yourself worry yourself sick just bc your head feels mildly fluish.
when i stubbed my toe against the chair leg the other day though, it just hurt. acknowledging the pain let me acknowledge that it hurt. pretty bad. but not too long.
