Thread: One thing I learned to do early on was to find a place inside my mind to exist comfortably. It was incredibly useful in the corps when we’d get extremely cold or wet. But was invaluable laying in a hospital, everything in bandages and not able to move a limb.
Severe Pain, or even the frustration of being bandaged, full of tubes and unable to move can occupy our minds. So we have to take control back. You start at your finger tips, work your way down you limbs, deep into your chest, closing each section of your body behind you like a
water tight chamber on a sinking ship. Like water, the pain and discomfort lock behind a door and cant get to you, so you not longer feel it, suffer from it, as you make your way into the spot you’ve prepared for yourself inside
your mind you get comfortable. Your body is suffering. But you’re content in your happy place. Now, when I get sick, or cold, or have excruciating pains -late at night -I just lie motionless and drift away. Try it sometime! Live comfortably within yourself
