Accepting Pain

I’m trying something out. Have you ever had a severe itch from an insect bite? The kind you can’t stop scratching until you almost rip your skin off? I had a few chigger bites this summer. Their itch is much more intense than mosquito bites. At some point I have to ignore the itch and think “Oh it’s just a bite. It will go away.” And it does. I’m applying that theory when I feel the onset of pain. I even kid around with myself and say “It’s just a bite” as it makes me chuckle.

 

I love this! Thanks for sharing it.
