Make Peace, not War: How to Reverse Your Suffering from Migraines
Migraine has a double-sided effect - pain and suffering. Pain is biological...it is the physical "it hurts' part. Suffering, on the other hand, results from the interpretation our brains attach to the pain signal. You have the power to choose to alter that interpretation, and then your quality of life will begin to improve. This article explains where and how that power to re-interpret begins, and gives strategies to implement the change.

Migraine Sufferers: Opportunities to Seize Control Again
Your life has had many turning points - your first day of school, for example. Later on, you had a more direct role when you chose the location for your first home or on your first day of full-time work. Now, as a long-term migraine sufferer, a crucial tipping point has arrived. You are on the verge of declaring: "I no longer wish to live like this, as a passive victim of migraine. I intend to improve how I relate to myself, to others, and to my community. And I am going to act on this immediately, and gain control of my life."

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gerry Fryer
|
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
---George Eliot
A man should so live that at the close of every day he can repeat "I have not wasted my day."
--- Zohar "He never grew up; but he never stopped growing." ---Arthur C. Clarke, 1917-2008, epitaph We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s one way. --- Victor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm. -- Bruce Barton A smile is the shortest distance between two people. -- Victor Borge It is not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. --- Roy Disney "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it." --Martha Graham |
