Pain doesn’t have to determine your life.
I love this metaphor I first heard when I attended the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center: Imagine being in a car with chronic pain. Where is the pain? Who’s in control? Is pain behind the steering wheel - determining where you go and what you do in life? Or are you driving? Put pain in the back seat, or even better yet, the trunk. Things you can control - Focus on these
Things you can’t control - Don’t focus on these
