WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING PAIN, WE MUST FOCUS ON OUR ACTIONS AND OUR REACTIONS. WHEN YOU HOLD PAIN IN YOU CAN PUSH THAT PAIN SO FAR AND SO DEEP TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE NOW REACTING WITH THOSE SAME EMOTIONS. ONCE THEY ARE PUSHED SO DEEP SOMETIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO FIND OUT WHERE IT STEM FROM. WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT JUST MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO BEGIN YOUR HEALING PROCESS. THIS DOES NOT MEAN ITS OVER IT JUST MEANS YOU NEED TO WORK A LITTLE HARDER TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

THE TEST WILL BE HOW HARD ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO GET THERE?

WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING PAIN - THAT PAIN IS BEING THROWN AT US BECAUSE GOD/UNIVERSE/SELF/BUDDA ETC. WANTS YOU TO USE THAT PAIN TO DO OR BE SOMETHING EVEN MORE SPECIAL THAN YOU ARE! PAIN COMES TO US WHEN WE NEED MOTIVATION BUT IT IS UP TO YOU HOW YOU CHOOSE TO MANAGE THAT PAIN.

IT CAN EITHER TAKE OVER YOU OR HELP YOU OVERCOME THOSE MOMENTS. MANY TIMES, PAIN CAN TRAP YOU IN THAT PLACE FOR YEARS. A SITUATION CAN HAPPEN TO YOU 3 YEARS AGO IF YOU STILL SPEAKING ON IT AS IF IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, YOU ARE NOT YET PROPERLY HEALED! THE MORE TIME YOU CHOOSE TO FOUCS ON THAT SITUATION THE LONGER IT WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAL!
