Fixing the Now: Powerful, Practical Ways to Reduce Pain and Stress ‘In the Moment’
In this episode, I explore powerful, practical ways to reduce pain and stress 'in the moment'.
I share personal strategies I've developed over the years to help shift into a better, less painful, less stressful state, including:
✔️ Using the 'third person' perspective to reframe stressful thoughts
✔️ Tackling challenging tasks immediately to avoid stress snowballing
✔️ The benefits of hot and cold exposure for lowering inflammation
✔️ How a stroll in nature can act as a powerful anti-inflammatory
✔️ The restorative power of short naps
✔️ Using heat and cooling gels for quick pain relief
✔️ The importance of social connection in managing pain and stress
✔️ Creating a clear action plan for flares or high-stress periods
✔️ Practicing gratitude to reframe your perspective
✔️ The pain-relieving power of laughter
I discuss how these cognitive and physical strategies can work in tandem to help manage both stress and pain, which are often interconnected. I emphasise the importance of tailoring these approaches to suit your individual needs and incorporating them into your routine in a way that feels natural and beneficial.
