Have you ever been on the receiving end of the "Do Better" lecture? This lecture usually sounds like: Exercise more, sleep better, eat healthier. If you have, have you left that doctor appointment feeling inspired and hopeful...or Frustrated and angry? Likely the latter, right? Have you thought:If I could, I would!Or something along the lines of:What a crock of Sh*t; I've tried that before and it didn't help. Or even:They didn't even listen to me. If they did, they would know that I can't or don't know how to do any of those things?If that's you, I see you, friend. And this Podcast is for you. With love, of course.

This message is for all of you out there doing ALL the things

You’re eating right

You’re Journaling

You’re exercising to your pace

You’re seeing a therapist/s

But you’re still in pain. 

If you’re one of those people: I have one question for you:

Do you believe?

Do you believe in yourself?

Do you believe in your goals?

Do you believe in the path?

Or are there stories that are playing in your head that are keeping you down?

Are you feeling like every time you take a step forward, you take two steps back?

Are you constantly feeling frustrated aren’t where you think you should be?

Are you feeling like even though you are doing all the things, you feel like you should be doing more?

If you’re one of those people, I invite you to just pause and take a breath. 

Think back to 1 year ago, and remember your day to day life then. 

What were you frustrated with? What couldn’t you do? What do you wish you could do?

Take a look at where you are now. How have those things improved? How do you feel since that has all changed?

Next step: 

Make a list of your frustrations, the things you can’t do, the things you are unhappy with about your life. 

After you’ve done this, put it aside. Keep doing you, and come back and three months and see how your life has changed. ======================Welcome to Pain Relief Path!

Are you someone who finds it hard to stick with new routines to help you with your chronic pain? You find yourself diving deep into a new diet, exercise program, or supplement routine, only to find reasons that this doesn't work for you after a few weeks? When this happens over and over again, you may feel like you're met with failure with all the activities that you may try, and this story builds in your head:  "Nothing can help me. I'm going to be in pain forever." If this is you, LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. For the questions I ask in the episode: Use this as a guide for self exploration and self understanding. Don't judge yourself, but whatever answers bubble up to the surface, let yourself embrace them for what they are and for you to be able to see and feel the stories that you've been consciously and unconsciously telling yourself. Here they are:What was the last thing you tried to help with your pain?How long did you stick with the program? What were your biggest limitations or Barriers to sticking with the program? Are these limitations or barriers that you have control over? If you do, did you change your limitations or barriers? Why and why not?Why??Why??Did it work? If it did: what did you like about it? — and are you still doing it? If it did not work?WHY didn’t it work? If you “just didn’t like it”what didn’t you like about it?Why? Why? What feelings and thoughts came up when you did the program?If the opportunity came along that guaranteed that you could achieve your result, but you had to commit fully to it, for an undetermined amount of time, would you do it?Why? Why not? Why?Why?------------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Pain Relief Path! I am Dr. Pan Zhang, Physical Therapist turned Chronic Pain Coach.
