Have you ever considered challenging and managing your pain using your brain?
I am not for any stretch of my imagination suggesting that any of us can do what Tiger does – but we can consider what it means to us as just ‘ordinary’ people if we challenge our own physical pain . Listen to this brief explanation of what some of the pain experts are saying about how to control pain, by redirecting the concept of pain and how to manage this challenge.

On occasion, my sleep is affected by nervousness (the latter occurrences).ย ย I do find, however, that taking a 30 minute walk calms me down; makes my aches and pains more manageable, and I also sleep better during the night.
Today I am celebrating 24 years since I had open heart surgery. Yes!
Walking is a really personal gift to me.ย What do I mean?ย After my surgery, I asked my Cardiologist,ย “what type of exercise can I do?”ย He recommended that I walk, which seemed easy enough to do.
However, the truth was,ย after the surgery I did not have the strength to walk across a street by myself. At that point, I promised myself and the forces that guide us that if given the future opportunity to walk, I would make sure to honor that ability.
