Finding moments of joy throughout your day helps send messages of safety to your brain and nervous system.⁣
⁣
When your brain and nervous system feel safe, they move out of fight-or-flight mode and into rest and repair. ⁣
⁣
The more you can embrace joy, the more you will create new neural pathways that override pain pathways. ⁣

Let’s hear some ways you find joy in the comments below! 👇⁣

How confident are you that you can unlearn your pain?
⠀⠀
Recent research has shown that chronic pain is often cause by the misfiring of pain circuits in the brain due to learned neural pathways. The good news is that just like pain can be learned, it can be unlearned!

Talking to yourself with kindness and compassion calms down the amygdala – the part of the brain that is responsible for perceiving danger and going into fight-or-flight mode. 🧠 This part of the brain is also in charge of sending pain signals to get attention, as a very effective alarm system. ⏰

When you talk to yourself with judgment, criticism and fear, it further ramps up the perception of danger in the brain, increasing pain and symptoms. It also keeps pain and symptoms stuck in a loop. ♻️

Messages of safety help to move the brain and body out of fight-or-flight, reducing pain and eventually, over time, creating new neural pathways that break you out of the pain-fear loop. 🌟

So talk to yourself as you would a friend or loved one. You deserve it, and your brain and your body will thank you. 💜

When we put pressure on ourselves, it is really hard to feel safe, calm, or at ease. And when our brains feel threatened, they're more likely to amp up pain symptoms!
⠀⠀
What are some ways you can alleviate the pressure and promote a sense of calm and safety? Whether it's practicing mindfulness, engaging in self-care activities, or simply taking a moment to breathe deeply, you have the power to turn down the volume of danger your brain feels.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly exaggerating your pain? If you suffer from chronic pain, your brain may perceive sensations as more intense or threatening than they really are. But here's the good news - you can change your brain's opinion on pain!
⠀⠀
Remember, pain is just your brain's interpretation of what's happening in your body. By reassuring your brain that you are safe and repeatedly reminding yourself that pain is just an opinion, you can actually improve your perception of pain over time. Opinions are not set in stone - they can change! So next time you're in pain, try to shift your brain's perspective and see how it can make a difference.
