When we experience pain, our body sends a message to the brain. Our initial reaction to pull away from the pain is a natural response. We have all experienced some pain/discomfort at one time or another. As we grow older, we learn how to keep ourselves safe. However, sometimes pain leads us to an unpleasant response. And that is where mindfulness comes in. A few mindful techniques this podcast will cover are skills that can use with faced with unpleasant situations. Here are a few.

• Talk about feelings. Describe the pain.
• Ask for help.
• Write or draw in a journal about how you feel
• Work on a craft or art to redirect energy into positivity
• Practice mindful walking
• Do no harm. Stay away from harmful activities.
• Breathe
