Anyone else feel Isolated and not go out due to chronic pain?

I'd like to add my prayers as well. Our thoughts are POWERFUL. Thoughts are prayers, so it's helpful to be the observer of our thoughts. Where I focus my energy becomes my reality. The idea that a person is in a 10/10 pain condition, but still gets on a bike 5-10 minutes every morning, is a good example of how to change our energy, which the body follows. It's the mind, body & spirit connection. Pain is
Isolating, especially if I shut others out. Currently, the weather is cold and wet (PNW) so the very 'thought' is "Nope" not going out today. However, today I'm shifting that 'thought' to "It is going to feel so good when I come back." Best wishes, it's a new year and each day, a new beginning. ❤️🩹🙏🏼

@bdwmc What a great attitude and smile. You are correct about our thoughts. I learned that dwelling on my pain(sometimes a reality) only makes it worse. It is not "positive cheerleader" way of life for me, but just getting outside for 5 minutes, to stand in the sun, helps my brain and mood. I use a 'Happy Light' for seasonal depression, everyday while I eat breakfast. There is science and research behind why that works to lift depression, available online.
Thanks for sharing everyone. I need to get back on here, because it helps to have community of people who have a similar problem. My hands are wonky these days so forgive my typing or spelling errors.
