This morning I woke feeling a little out of sorts, slightly panicky, racing heartbeat and the wonder of if these actions would get the better of me and send me spiralling. I then told myself that I would try and make myself smile throughout the day.
I met up with a friend and whilst I did briefly discuss my present symptoms with her, in the back of my mind I still had the smiling mantra. I smiled which in turn turned to laughter which in turn greatly lifted my mood!!! I could still feel the odd little niggles of pain but because I was distracted they didn't seem half as bad.
Tomorrow I have set a goal of not trying to self-diagnose the reasons behind my stomach pains and inflict my 'theories' of what's causing them on anyone else, I'm hoping it will be a positive step, possibly not a big one but a step all the same. If I fail, I will try again, I will also have a go at the smiling technique again too. I truly believe it helped today. :):)
