Changing Your Perspective on Pain

from Mensimah's Round Table: Conversations for Women of Power and Grace

Pain can overwhelm us not only physically but mentally. When pain gets out of hand, it can become part of our identity or even consume our entire sense of self, having entire days revolving around the pain. Your very life becomes dedicated to pain, yet pain is something everyone wants to get rid of. So why does this happen and how can you get your life back when pain has become so unbearable?In this episode, we are going to look at the root causes of pain and how to shift perspective and heal. Pain alerts you that something needs attention. If you have a traumatic injury, the pain tells you the wound needs to be mended. But what’s happening with chronic pain that continues for years and consumes your mind, is that the source of the pain is not being mended, and the alarm is constantly sounding out. Our minds are very intelligent, as well as our bodies.When there is something important in our mind that we don’t acknowledge, push away, and do not tend to, the only option our mind executes is to alert the body though pain. So instead of thinking that there is something wrong in your body, ask instead, what needs to be addressed in the mind? Perhaps you are working a job that brings you down but you don’t like to admit it. Maybe you are in an unhappy relationship that you continue to sit stagnantly in. Or you could even be in a very happy relationship, but you have allowed too many burdens and responsibilities on yourself in an attempt to please everyone else but you. Unresolved upsets in your life manifest as body pains until you do something about them. They are alerts that you have gone beyond your instinctual boundaries and are not speaking your truth. So instead of asking what’s wrong with your body when you experience pain, ask what in your mind is screaming for your attention, but you continue to disregard and push away. Hopefully, you will recognize from now on, your entire thinking about pain has changed. In order to fully understand the true meaning behind pain, we must change our perspective on it and embrace new approaches to healing.Autobiographyhttps://mensimah.com/sankofa/Please subscribe/support our channelsReflective/Inner Work: https://www.patreon.com/join/mensimahshabazzphdDonation/Support: https://PayPal.Me/MRTPodcast https://mensimahs-round-table.captivate.fm/supporthttps://mensimahs-round-table-conversations.onpodium.co/donateContact Links:Mensimah's Round Table - Join Women's Group on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/191292605667511Mensimah's Round Table Podcast:https://mensimahs-round-table-conversations.onpodium.co/https://mensimahs-round-table.captivate.fmWebsite:https://mensimah.comInstagram:@mensimahshabazzphdYouTube:https://youtube.com/@mensimahsroundtableCreate Your E-book:Write your story using an easy ebook template!http://sikayede.sqribblex.hop.clickbank.net🙏🏽
