I have chosen to edit these daily reminders somewhat, personalizing them for my own personal daily review. Copy them and keep them posted on your bathroom mirror, as I do! God Bless! • My back pain is due to Tension Myositis Syndrome, and [u]not[/u] to any structural abnormality. • The direct reason for my back pain is mild oxygen deprivation in the postural muscles. • Tension Myositis Syndrome is a harmless condition, caused by my repressed emotions. • The principal repressed emotion causing Tension Myositis Syndrome is my repressed anger. • Tension Myositis Syndrome exists only to distract my attention away from those emotions. • Since my back is basically normal, there is really nothing for me to fear. • Therefore, any kind of physical activity for me is [u]not[/u] really dangerous or harmful. • And so, I should immediately resume all normal physical activity without concern. • I will no longer be concerned or intimidated by my back pain. • I will shift my attention away from my back pain and toward those emotional issues. • I intend continually to be in control of my back pain --- [u]not[/u] my unconscious mind. • I must think psychological, and [u]not[/u] physical, at all times. [u]What Dr. Sarno Tells His TMS Patients[/u] (Healing Back Pain, Front Page) • Resume all physical activity. It won’t hurt you. • Talk to your brain. Tell it that you will no longer take the pain anymore. • Stop all physical treatments for your back pain. They may block your recovery. • [b]Don’t[/b] repress your anger or emotions. They can give you back pain. • [b]Don’t[/b] think of yourself as being injured. Psychological conditioning contributes to ongoing back pain. • [b]Don’t[/b] be intimidated by back pain. You have the power to overcome it. JosephB [:)] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
