MAKING PAIN WORSE

"Fear is the mind killer," is a quote from the scifi movie DUNE. I would also say "Fear is the pain magnifier."

When faced with pain its natural for it to bother us. It reminds us something is wrong with our body. So, if you have muscle pain from working out or doing an unusual activity, don't fear it. If you do, it can actually make the pain worse because your muscles begin to tense up.

Therefore, take some time to rust and relax. Get into a comfortable position and listen to some soothing music. You'll find the pain will often not get worse. It may actually lessen.

And, by the way, get a massage. Its great for getting rid of that pesky muscle pain and tension.
