I wanted something to be different this morning. It's the third day of a rather bad migraine -- which also means this will be a short post -- and I wanted not to have the pain. I called my patient husband to whine a bit, told him I was done, and let him get back to work. Then I read Diane Mariechild's writing for today.
I needed the reminder that I am not my pain-filled head and exhausted body.
That reminder helped me see beyond the pain and remember my practices for pain management:
deep breathing;
deep relaxation;
letting go of victim status;
accepting that I am powerless over the pain but not over my reaction to it.
Peace.
