Living Life to the Full


Change is part of normal life but it can be all too easy to become worried or anxious about it and, as a result, miss out on many wonderful experiences.

Although you can’t change what ‘life’ throws your way, your mind has the
power to change the way you react to those events. It’s a choice you make!

A positive response can influence what life throws back!

In order to live life to the full, we need to embrace and learn from new experiences – good and bad. The knack is not in reacting, but in learning to respond in a way of your choice.

Surfing the crest of change is easier with friends than treading water alone,
so use our Forums and tips to seek the support you need.

"It's one thing to have our pain and emotions and another to be ruled by them, one thing to live our life and another to live in our thoughts about our life, one thing to make choices according to what we hold as important and another to helplessly act as our habits will have us do...." Lance M. McCracken, PhD, Consultant Psychologist and Clinical Lead, Bath Centre for Pain Services, Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases and Centre of Pain Research, School for Health, University of Bath. Extract taken from Living Well with Pain and Illness by Vidyamala Burch.
