Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain Podcast with me Nicole Sachs. You are here. Hello everyone, how are you today?

This is Nicole Sachs,

and you have reached my podcast, The Cure for Chronic Pain.

Happy to be with you today.

Hope today is a good day. And as always if

it isn't and if today is a hard day I hope that being together for the next little

bit of time will make it better because it's all we can hope for guys making things a little bit better

than they were one moment ago for your next moment.

So today we're going to talk about something that my community likes to call

Nicoleisms which of course is a little weird and cringy for me to actually say it back like that but the reason people label

these sayings as Nicole Isms is I tend to say certain things again and again as a means to explain mindset or strategy for being

in this space of mind body medicine and the reason why I repeat them well there's a few

reasons one is because I do believe that repetition can really lead to deep

knowledge sometimes you have to hear something a number of different times in a number of

different ways and maybe from a number of different voices which is why I'm glad that

people are repeating me in order to really have it take hold and help you.

So that's the first thing.

And the second thing is that I find that when these concepts can be challenging,

and when you're mired in your own chronic pain or symptom or condition

whatever however it's affecting you it can be a situation where you really need

something to wake you up, pause you, and help you get new perspective.

And I have been gently criticized over the years for using profanity, but when I do, that's why. It's because words have power and phrases have power and when they remind you of something that you need to do in order to maybe write the ship or get yourself out of a little hole that you've fallen into, it can be really helpful.
