Day 21 Thoughts

[Krissiey]

The past few days have been hectic at work and that is not going to change for a while as I am transitioning to a new role at work and therefore have multiple responsibilities at the same time. The back pain has somewhat increased in intensity but I have been very much thinking psychologically and the worry level is so much lower so I feel like I can tolerate more, also I have been taking paracetamol maybe 0-2 per day if needed to lower the noise. Something I have been worrying about is that I feel like the pain maybe should subside a bit more at this point, being 3 weeks and in some way I worry that the pain won’t go as I know work and life stress (baby and puppy) won’t lower much any time soon or at all.

This is key! The longer you're in this mode the better - 6 weeks is better than 3 (it often takes longer than 3 weeks for your brain to catch up to your new and improved mindset/reactions), be patient and rest assured you are on the right path

be patient

Patience and NOT watching the calendar.

Watching the calendar results in Pressure.
Pressure results in Judgment.
Judgment results in Repression.
And repression results in SYMPTOMS,
which is what got you here in the first place.
This is Sarno 101

rest assured you are on the right path

It's not the stress, but how we react to the stress. Just keep doing the SEP and incorporate what you're learning. As stated above, you're on the right path.
