It's easy to tell people all about the chemistry of pain and how various coping skills help you manage it. It's another thing to live with pain.

Today was one of those days when you wake up and wonder if it is even possible to put a dent in the pain. The muscle spasms made it hard for me to breathe. Deep breaths were an imposibility. Part of me just wanted to go back to bed, but I kept myself moving, put on a book on tape, and then began to pick up a little bit at a time. As my mind floated away into the book, my awareness of my pain melted away, and I was able to get on with my day.

I know it is hard. It takes a committment to keep trying. But learning creative coping skills is worth the time you put in to find relief on a regular basis. If your looking to use your creativity to improve your quality of life, pick up the phone today and get your joy back.
