Let me tell you - worrying about something “bad” (like cancer bad) being behind our physical pain is completely normal. I am being the witness to my own new struggle with sciatica (pain going down the leg from a nerve impingement) and my brain offered to worry about “c” word as a reason. It was reassuring to hear from a colleague physician that his brain does that too 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s part of being human and having a human brain

What we can do in those situations is to gently redirect our brains to more fruitful thoughts - such as - “it is 1000 x more likely that your pain is from a pr*****ed disc Martina, so let’s start planning and strategizing how to get it back in place 😃👍🏻💪🏻)

In my view, the pivotal elements that mark success stories in managing fibromyalgia are the unwavering belief in one's capacity to improve, heal, and experience reduced or alleviated pain, along with an unwavering commitment to self-love.
From my personal journey and the experiences shared by numerous women who have triumphed over fibromyalgia, one common thread emerges: belief and self-love. Identifying self-love can be challenging due to societal norms dictating what we "should" or "shouldn't" do, leading to self-imposed pressures.
Here are examples of behaviors contrasting self-love:
➡️💓 Consistently prioritizing others' needs over our own—a pattern frequently observed, especially among mothers. Often, failing to take time for oneself leads to depletion, hindering our ability to support others effectively, triggering stress reactions.
➡️💓 Overworking to fulfill expectations as a commendable employee or out of loyalty to an employer. This tendency, prevalent among healthcare professionals like physicians, can lead to excessive dedication, sometimes at the expense of personal well-being.
Our life is a precious gift, and we must cherish it, treating our health and bodies with the utmost care. Our feelings and experiences matter significantly. It's vital not to endure constant misery at work or in life each day.
We possess only one life, and it's crucial to value it as a treasure. Our health and well-being deserve priority and respect.

✨ Ever wondered about the role of self-compassion in reducing fibromyalgia pain? It might seem unrelated to physical pain, but it's quite significant.
Self-compassion acts as a balm to our hyperactive nervous system, which constantly amplifies our pain sensations. While not directly targeting the specific areas responsible for pain amplification, practicing self-compassion addresses our overall suffering, calming the nervous system in its entirety – including those parts contributing to or exacerbating pain.

When confronting fibromyalgia, embracing neuroplasticity is a key part of the journey towards triumphing over this condition.
Understanding that the brain not only senses pain but also possesses the power to mitigate it by rewiring neuro pain pathways is pivotal in our quest with fibromyalgia.
Neuroplasticity highlights the brain's inclination to detect potential threats, elevating pain sensitivity and perception. However, this isn't a permanent state. Our ability, and the brain's capability, to regulate the activation of messages that alleviate pain determine whether the pain amplifies or diminishes.
Recognizing this empowers us to seek liberation from chronic pain, acknowledging our potential to influence the brain's response and regain control.

What Mindset is Ideal After a Fibromyalgia Diagnosis?
An empowering mindset - one that bolsters belief in the body's innate ability to heal, alleviating pain despite its origin. Conversely, injury and negative thoughts may induce stress, depression, anxiety, and fear of further injury.
Stanford University's research highlights how patient perceptions impact health outcomes. Your mindset profoundly influences recovery.
Psychologist Alia Crum from Stanford shares her story of unknowingly competing with a broken ankle at 10, showcasing the power of mental resilience in healing. Fibromyalgia entails real pain sans physical injury, presenting an opportunity to harness the brain's healing potential.
My coaching program revolves around leveraging our brain's capability to reshape bodily pain. It's an invitation to utilize the brain, nervous system, and mind to steer the course of fibromyalgia pain.
