LMTV #203: Reframing the Negative Mind (Elizabeth Kipp)

One way or another, everyone experiences pain in different ways. It might be something physical, varying in intensity from a mild bruise to a flesh wound to a broken bone—or worse. It might be psychic or emotional pain, which is harder to recognize and diagnose, but can be just as unpleasant to deal with.

For many of us, the pains we endure are generally pretty short-lived, usually lasting for only days or a few weeks at most. However, for some of us, the pain we experience can be quite long-lasting and may create severe discomfort for months or even years on-end. In the latter case, the quality of life may be severely impaired—sometimes leading to depression or even suicide. Indeed, the negative mind is probably the most challenging aspect of dealing with long-term or chronic pain.

Believe it or not, if you suffer from any form of chronic pain, there is hope. My friend and colleague, Elizabeth Kipp, has had her own struggles with chronic pain and has learned many techniques and tools for dealing with. In this week’s episode of Life Mastery TV, she is going to share some of the wisdom she has learned over the years, and provide you with some tips and suggestions for reframing the negative mind in order to make it easier to manage chronic pain. Here is a sampling of what we’ll be discussing:

* What is Chronic Pain?
* How Does Chronic Pain Affect the Brain?
* Awareness, Attention, Focus.
* Healing From Chronic Pain.

No-one is immune from pain—we all deal with it from time to time. The question is: will you let your pain take over your life, or will you assert your own authority and take advantage of well-researched tools to manage your pain? The choice is yours! Not only that, but if you want to retain your high quality of life, I think the choice is clear.
