The Buddha once advised his followers not to believe everything he told them.
He suggested they should try out his teachings in their own lives.
Using what was useful, discarding what wasn’t.
This is an example of learning to trust yourself, a vital part of using mindfulness when dealing with chronic pain.
In this months’ video, I look at trust, why it matters and how to cultivate it.
What happens if you:
💚 accept the need to find your own solutions
💚 listen to others but always calibrate with your own experience
💚 be an observer of your thoughts
💚 challenge your expectations?
You can view the video here.
Bringing trust to your experience of chronic pain is not easy. It is important to recognise what helps you and stay with those practices, even if others doubt you.
