The Power of Positive Thinking on Back Pain
I recently found this quote by Norman Vincent Peale in his book “The Power of Positive Thinking.”
“Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities — always see them, for they’re always there.”
Possibilitarians are people who see possibilities in everyday life and find a silver lining even on the most negative of days. Their open mind and a positive attitude toward everything around them and look for ways to improve their situation and make the best out of it! This can be a great strength, as it means they are always open to new ideas and willing to try new things.
It can be challenging to see the silver lining when you suffer from back pain. But possibilitarians know there is always a possibility for improvement, no matter how small. So instead of wallowing in self-pity, they start thinking about ways to make their back pain less debilitating. Maybe they start looking into different exercises or stretches that can help ease the pain. Or perhaps they start to seek support from others who have gone through similar experiences. Whatever the solution, possibilitarians are always searching for it – because they know that anything is possible if you just believe it is!
If you suffer from back pain, don’t despair – there are ways to improve the situation! By following these tips, you can start feeling better and get back to living your life to the fullest. Remember: anything is possible if you just believe it is!
7 Ways to Improve Back Pain:
- Get some stress relief. Stress can worsen back pain, so find ways to relax and de-stress. For example, try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.
- Move regularly. This can help strengthen the muscles in your back and improve your flexibility. Yoga can be helpful.
- Stay active during the day. Avoid sitting or standing in one position for too long. Instead, take frequent breaks to move around and stretch your body.
- Use proper posture when sitting, standing, or moving. Good posture helps take the stress off of your back and spine.
- Wear comfortable shoes with good support. This will help reduce stress on your feet, legs, and back.
- Lift things properly. Use your legs and arms – not just your back when lifting something heavy! – to avoid putting stress on your spine.
- Seek out support from others. Talking to others who have gone through similar experiences can help you feel less alone and more supported.
Do you consider yourself a possibilitarian?
If so, you probably find yourself constantly looking for ways to improve your life and the lives of those around you. You see possibilities where others see roadblocks, and you refuse to give up even when the odds seem insurmountable. So keep up the excellent work – the world needs more possibilitarians!
