Podcast Notes:
As I have been talking about on the last few episodes, mindfulness and chronic pain are related.
Practicing mindfulness has been shown to decrease stress, improve mental health, increase immunity and decrease insomnia.
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
You stop living like everything is an emergency.
By becoming more mindful, you become more aware- of you inner and outer environment (in a non-reactive way).
You become more open- not shoving things like emotions down. And also not exaggerating the emotion.
And you become more accepting- not reacting without thought, or being able to calm and regulate yourself after stress. And most importantly- accepting yourself!!! Accepting your thoughts, your emotions, seeing your humanity, knowing you aren’t broken. This is part of mindfulness that can especially help with chronic pain.
Listen for specific strategies to become more mindful in your life!
