I never heard of the 5 P's. I like them. I think those are very helpful in dealing with people or situations and will help in trying to stay less stressed.

@tnelson157 Yes indeed, agreed. The 5 P's are posted on my fridge as a constant reminder, even my 20 year old daughter has benefited from seeing them there. She just got to London for a term abroad and recited the 5 P's to me on the phone. I felt good about that for her. Simple, but effective.

Chronic pain greatly benefits from the 5 P's. Getting aggitated and frustrated from our pain amps up our systems resulting in more pain.

@tnelson157 You mentioned the 5 P's helping you get less stressed. Do you think they can help you manage chronic pain? In what other ways do you plan to apply them?
