How mindful are you?

Have you ever tried mindful exercises as a way to help manage your pain? How did it go for you? Did it work the first time? most likely it didn't. As with any other treatments you may try...it takes time and it takes practice.

Quieting the mind to your thoughts is tricky sometimes thought isn't it? Our thoughts can be distracting indeed. Sometimes for me, it helps if I stare at a picture I find relaxing (one of the beach usually does it for me). When I have something to stare at, focusing on my breathing makes ignoring my thoughts is easier. 

It takes some time to get the hang of this so don't stop trying okay? Start off with short periods of time and build up as you get more comfortable. 

Our minds are a powerful thing and we can use it to help ourselves. Will you try the steps now?
