WE CAN LEARN A LOT FROM A PRO GOLFER

Pro golfers use visualization when they play. They picture the precise shot they want to hit before taking the club back – the trajectory, shape, roll and finish. This puts a positive image in the mind; the body then makes the motions needed to turn the image into reality.

We can do the same with our pain.

We can visualize a different way to view our pain and respond to it. We can visualize living well despite the pain. And we can visualize the pain leaving our bodies or the pain taking a smaller role in our lives.
