Could Your Personality Be Contributing To Your Chronic Pain?

The Link Between The Nocebo Effect And Chronic Pain
We’ve all been there some time or other: we get injured or start experiencing some form of pain, and the people around us will all come up with their own suggestions, sometimes even with a full retelling of their own painful experience;

6 Ways To Create Change By Working With Your BodyMind

What Science Says We Need To Be Happy
Research shows that consistently grateful people are happier, more energetic, more hopeful, more helpful, more empathic, more spiritual, more forgiving, and less materialistic. They’re also less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, neurotic, or sick.
In one study, a group of participants were asked to name five things they were grateful for every day, while another group was asked to list five things that annoyed them. Those expressing gratitude were not only happier and more optimistic; they reported fewer physical symptoms (such as headache, cough, nausea, or acne).
