How can I stay present moment focused?
How can I spend more time here and now -- not looking back or forward?
How is my pain worse when I'm not focused on now?
One of the things that supports this is contemplative practice.  For me guided meditation is what works.
I also find value in doing a mental scans throughout the day.
These are the thoughts I'm examining on today's episode.

Episode 144: What Are My New Year;s Intentions? Mind Part 1

Are you one of the millions living with a chronic illness or pain?  Our diseases may be very different, but we have many of the same experiences, obstacles and frustrations.   We are all working for a better quality of life knowing that pain and limitations will be our traveling companions.  My name is Annette and I'm the host of Chronic Wellness, a brief, weekly, podcast where we talk about it all: sex, self-care, mental heath, loss of identity, anger, how to navigate health care and have less days that suck so hard.

I have this belief that: If health is the absence of disease, and wellness is the presence of wholeness;  whether or not I'm ever "healthy" again, I can work work toward my wellness, my wholeness.  

Curious?  Join me where you listen to Podcasts, for a few moments of Chronic Wellness.
