Step 1. Reduce the pain

Question that pain, start denying it and propose removing the pain from our bodies, getting the pain out of the house (stop living with Mrs. “Dolores”…). Now is the time to begin ordering the body to order itself in a different way, resetting the system from mind to body.

at least once a daySpend a few minutes to “connect” with the pain and Remember the new decision. It is important to believe that this will help us feel better. During that time of reflection, we should ask ourselves the following questions:

• Is there any other emotional pain (anxiety, sadness, guilt, fear) behind this physical pain? Does it correspond to some important event in my life?
• Has anyone else in my primary family had pain or illness?
• Then we should close our eyes and take three deep breaths. After that, We will silently repeat the following statements (Can be said in other words):

Discipline, confidence, and patience are extremely important in implementing this method of “uninstalling” the pain of an operating system.

Recommendations:

• Schedule this program for 4 weeks (it could be 2, or even 6)
• Commit to completing some of the daily scheduled tasks (take a few minutes to remember that we are “reprogramming” ourselves to eliminate pain or reduce it).
• Stop “suffering” from pain: We all have a certain attitude towards pain. We can complain, accept it or activate ourselves to reduce or fix it. It is important to see what our attitude towards that pain is, to be able to modify it)
