“I already bought the earlier book, "Integrative Therapies for Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Myofascial Pain", so I got this on the recommendation of my pain specialist. It's nicely done and very helpful. The authors give suggestions, assignments and advice on a page per day basis. I like the format because I can focus on one thing at a time to help myself with my chronic pain condition. I can also go back and review information and rate my progress. I think this is a good tool for participating in my treatment.”

Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic Pain-

FALL DEVOTIONS 

(Revised)

During the initial launch, Fall Devotions trended at #1 in pain management and #3 in motivational Kindle books.

“Celeste Cooper thoughtfully shares her experience with chronic pain to help empower others to wholeheartedly live a more fulfilling and mindful life. ‘Embrace what we cannot change and strive to change the things we can…’ She wittingly shares healthy action strategies to help set focus on “glory days” and less on the pain. With heartfelt passion and self-awareness, Celeste and Jeff help to inspire others living with chronic pain.”

- Barbara Ficarra, RN, BSN, MPA, Founder Healthin30.com, Health Educator, Award-Winning Broadcast Journalist, Featured Writer The Huffington Post, Sharecare Editorial Advisory Board  

(Inside the cover)

This is a great book, simple and effective! When you live in pain it's easy for the world to seem like it's falling apart. Waking up each morning in pain doesn't really help your focus, other than focusing on the pain itself and then building our day around the pain. It seems that we forget about all of the life that is going on around us and what it has to offer. This book is a reminder of all that life has to offer when you're losing focus. The book is well-written and easy to read. +1 for anyone needing help with kick starting their days.

Sneak Peek - Day Forty-three

Terms in the Company of Pain - Neuralgia

 Neuralgia is pain caused by a disturbance of normal nerve function.

 Exercise:

Imagine your nerves in a bundle and they are all tangled up in a ball.  Now imagine, that ball is floating in a pool of soothing liquid.  As the ball starts to relax, it untangles and each nerve starts to leisurely unwrap until they are all resting on top of the pool. ….

The Last Preview

Day sixty-nine

Organizing your medical information is extremely important. This allows you to communicate effectively with your healthcare provider, and on day “Sixty-nine,” you are provided tools to answer this question, “What medications work, and which ones make me right side up or upside down?”

Rather than battle upstream without a paddle,

I will let my vessel right itself and flow the course, gathering wisdom from the shores.   

~Celeste

Celeste Cooper is a retired, advanced trained, registered nurse. She is lead author of several books, contributing author, and freelance writer. She volunteers as health expert at Sharecare, advocate, and participant in the Pain Action Alliance to Implement a National Strategy.  Through her own trials, she has learned to transform her perception of pain, and it has become her life's mission to share what she has learned with others who share this sometimes arduous journey. She by no means claims to be cured of chronic pain, but she is motivated to live her best life by not giving in to what she often calls the dragon.

Day Thirty-four

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like 

free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.”  

 ~Helen Keller, 1880 – 1968 

~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~

"It has been said there are two paths to the acquisition of patience.  One requires direct experience of an unpleasant nature, the other, wisdom and the ability to profit by example. If you cannot use the latter, the former lurks in your everyday endeavors.  My priceless mentor/client Hazel used to say “You won’t learn, so now you’re gonna be taught”.  Faith can not be learned or taught.  Faith is discovered, uncovered or nurtured indirectly.  It develops with patience in the sense that we surrender to the greater tide of time that exists outside our myopic demands."

Dr. Jeff Miller is a counseling psychologist in private practice.  Among other interests, Jeff values working with patients with chronic pain and illness.

“This book is designed and inspired to fill the needs of people in chronic pain. From practical ‘how to’ suggestions, to more mind, body and spirit concepts, like contemplating the deeper meaning to life and health, it is exactly what many people have been looking and longing for. I am struck by its wise self-concepts, such as ‘We must learn to dance with the dragon, not fear its fire.”

Summer Devotions is the second of a four book series, Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic Pain. It is a tribute to everyone committed to living a fearless life despite the road blocks caused by living with chronic pain and illness.

By noting sensory elements from a past experience, we can learn to journal which is an important piece to learning who we are.  One way of doing that is to write a short story.  You will find tips on exactly how to do that on Day Sixty.

Finding myself is significant, especially if am lost, which has been known to happen,

but creating myself is more fun.    ~Celeste

“This book reminds me of the Daily Word. What Jeff and Celeste have created is a daily source of inspiration and guidance for people in pain. It can help them find peace, wisdom and wellness.”

Celeste Cooper and Jeff Miller have provided an arsenal to fight this dragon that threatens energy, growth, and healing.  By focusing on each summer day, the authors send their readers on a personal journey of mindfulness and self awareness, allowing the reader to restructure personal experience on how pain is perceived.  

Two thousand years ago Marcus Aurelius recognized the “editorial” aspect of thought that amplifies and reduces the perception of pain.  While this modification skill is rarely taught in our culture, the ability to harness self-correcting cognition is a powerful ally in our mind-body arsenal.  We know that pain we endure for a reason ( bone marrow donation, a tattoo) is a different experience than unwanted or random pain (accidents, exacerbation of chronic pain). If we have a good story about the pain it is minimized and better tolerated.

Day Forty-three

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

Imagine a dragon breathing its inferno, and then watch it engulf everything in its path. Chronic pain acts like that; it is a raging fire that devours logical thinking. It incinerates comfort, companionship, dreams and goals. When pain dominates, it’s a force that must be challenged.

Day Forty

Our language holds power in the choice of words both in meaning and symbol.  We have grown accustomed to overstatement and barely notice the exaggeration that absolute terms like “never”, everyone”. “nothing”, “always” impose on our perceptions.  On a subconscious level these words are taken literally and our minds change our experience to fit the new definitions.  Hence we suffer so much more than necessary.  Literally, it only seems like “always” or “never”.  Bringing digital exactitude to our self talk is exchanging conflated hurting terms for precision power terms. “Rarely”, “frequently”, “some” or “few” are more honest and much less damaging.

“Always avoid never and never use always.”

Did I overdo?

We must do an assessment of overdoing, doing enough, sleep, and aggravating or alleviating factors related to our pain. On Day Seventy-two of Summer Devotions, we provide a helpful tool for doing all these things to help answer your questions.

As I navigate through life with invisible illness, turning tragic into triumph,

 I accept that some days, despite doing everything right, I do not prevail, and that's OK.
