Got Chronic Pain?

✍🏽 Write these answers down:

Q #1 Where exactly is your pain?

Q #2 When exactly is your pain?

Q #3 What happened? There was a time you didn’t have pain, and now you do. What changed during that time in your life?

If your right jaw hurts (TMJ issues) try rubbing your left Achilles for 30 seconds. Keep your fingers there, draw HUGE and SLOW figure 8s with your ankle. 5 repetitions in each direction.

Re-Test your jaw and let me know what happened.

Your body is not something to be dictated to.

It is something to be conversed with.

Repeat after me:

My body and I are on the same team.

I listen to my body.

I prioritize my own well being.

I deserve to be healthy.

I take care of my body.

I take care of my mind.

I take care of my heart.

I am healing at my own pace.
