Pain Management Tip of the Week

Pick a tip and try it for 1 day, or perhaps, 1 week.

Does your outlook or perspective change? Do you attitudes and beliefs about pain change for a moment?
Does the sensation of pain change even for a moment?
Do you feel more self-compassion? Are you able to feel more calmness and sense of control?
Which tip is your favorite? Which tip do you need to practice more?

A fun idea is to print this onto card stock and draw a card each day or week.
