Well maybe we can retrain our brains to read “pain” as pleasure. Wouldn’t that be great? Have been reading about neuroplasticity and pain management. It’s all worth a try.

Read about some ways to calm anxiety and helpful sleep aids. One technique I’ve been using this week (and on the plane when I was sitting in the LAST row window next to a very large muscular guy who barely fit in his seat) is to count backwards by 3’s. I can’t believe how well it works. I even dosed on that flight!
