Physical pain is excruciating, it attracts attention, does not allow you to think about anything else, exhausts a person. I want to get rid of it as soon as possible, so people immediately rush to the pharmacy for painkillers. However, there are other ways to get rid of suffering.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, it must be recognized that pain is simply a physiological stimulus that occurs in the brain. This is a warning that something in the body is going wrong. That is, pain does not serve as a hindrance to normal life, but as a help to a person, signals that measures must be taken to restore balance. Moreover, it has not only a physical basis - tissue damage or irritation, but also a psychological one. It is this psychological aspect that makes the pain so unbearable. A person immediately begins to imagine how bad he is, all the horrors of his situation fly before his eyes, he thinks how he will live further, which can multiply the suffering, make it unbearable. If you do not think too much, calm down, take pain for granted and help for the body, it will not be so strong.
Step 2
Simple techniques based on knowledge of psychology will also help to reduce discomfort. For example, when you get hurt or inflict another injury on yourself, you just need to calm down and carefully examine the affected area. The pain will subside almost immediately, because the human brain tends to exaggerate the cause of the discomfort, thereby increasing the pain of the wound. When the site of damage is visible, the panic stops and the painful sensations gradually decrease. True, this advice is only suitable for really small injuries, since the appearance of an open fracture, a gunshot wound or multiple tissue ruptures can lead to unconsciousness.
Step 3
Caffeine can reduce pain, so drink some coffee after your first day at the gym, a small cut, or an inadvertent fall. It turns out that he not only invigorates after a long lack of sleep, but also brings mental and physical indicators back to normal after suffering stress from pain.
Step 4
Laugh and smile more, despite all the suffering you endure. Of course, it's a little unusual to look for a reason for laughter when thoughts are chained only to a aching place on the body, and hands are reaching for another pain reliever pill. Nevertheless, laughter increases the amount of endorphins in the blood, which serve as a natural pain reliever. By the same principle, having sex works well.
Step 5
For the sake of reducing pain, it is worth looking at something more terrible: this is how the brain switches from one object of fear to another, and the person realizes that there are more terrible things in this life, so he begins to relate to his troubles easier. So when you suffer from body discomfort, look for scary pictures or watch a horror movie.
Step 6
It is helpful to convince yourself that pain is not only anguish, but a good sign. After exercise, the discomfort in the body can even be pleasant, and the pain in the scar means that the healing process is successful. In addition, since such manifestations often serve as a warning about dangerous processes in the body, it means that they should become an excuse to take care of your body, visit a doctor, start playing sports, and switch to a healthier diet.
