Is it good to keep in touch with pain—meaning do you have a healthy relationship with the pain you experience?

We often tend to run from pain thinking it’s bad but it’s actually just there to tell us something once we listen. Pain is temporal, understand whatever you are battling will eventually suffice.

It’s hard to listen to yourself when you consume so much of the world. Sometimes all you need is to do is lay dormant and be still and listen to what you’re really saying and what you want to express.
