Journaling and the Mind-Body Connection
A cluttered mind could lead to unresolved pain. There is a very strong connection between the mind and the body. How we think does in fact affect the biochemistry inside ourself.
Preoccupation and worry require energy. The use of energy for these mind activities takes away from the energy stores that could be used for coping and healing.
Journaling can be very therapeutic. Just keeping notes on paper can be helpful. When you feel overwhelmed about a project or a task, jot it down on paper. Break it down into smaller sizes and tackle the project this way rather than seeing it as impossible as a great big whole.
Once you do, you will find the small achievements and the positive energy gained from them will be the motivation and fuel to approach the next task. Give it a try and let me know how it is working. I will watch for you on my Pain Management and Migraine boards here on WebMD.
