I enjoy getting my feet dirty as I play in the dirt and pretend to garden. I plant seeds, water them and let them grow wild. I enjoy the connection I have when I go out into the yard. And occasionally, I tend to the plants. After being on a vacation for two weeks in June, I was surprised that my overgrown garden turned into a garden of weeds. Why was I surprised that the weeds returned? I knew I wasn’t going to be able to clear all the weeds in one day, but I could clear a little section each week. So I put on my crocs and started to pull weeds. As the sweat poured down my face, the yoga analogies of thoughts being seeds made so much sense.
Disrupt the Cycle of Pain and Enjoy the Things You Love
Pain is a signal from the nervous system that something is wrong. The uncomfortable sensations that you associate negatively, such as tingling, sharp, or throbbing. For many people chronic pain is an everyday phenomena. The body might not be in danger, but the nervous system keeps sending the pain message. Chronic pain can interrupt daily functioning, including social activities.
