Chronic Pain Today

Many times those of us with chronic pain limit ourselves in what we believe we can accomplish. “Why I can’t do that, I’ve <chronic pain ailment>”. It is simple to not extend ourselves to further what we ourselves believe that we can be. This president’s day I’m reminded that one of the best loved and best respected president’s that we’ve ever had took little retreats to Warm Springs, GA so that his chronic pain affliction could be tamed for a little while longer. The polio that took Franklin Delano Roosevelt may have slowed his step, but not his mind or his heart. Today, let that be a reminder that nothing can really step in the way of your dreams, but yourself.

This President’s Day, may an affirmation that you are wonderful, you are powerful, and you can move mountains. Say it enough times that you yourself begin to believe it, and then say it again.
