Pain can cause major impact on your life. Not only physically either. Pain can lead to depression, anxiety, and high stress levels. As Dr. Kelly McGonigal explains, changing the brain may help for coping with pain.

A *Painful Back* can come on suddenly, acute onset. The mechanism, or cause, may be attributed to a specific movement or trauma. The underlying cause of back pain has a more progressive onset. This is related to the practice of poor habits: poor diet and obesity; improper work habits like sitting postures or lifting technique; and the way stressful events are perceived and how one responds.
Regaining a healthy back does not mean that you will live this moment forward with no pain at all. *"Once a Back Patient, Always a Back Patient", I say(Bauer Physical Therapy .
There must be attention given to the habits you practice on a daily basis.
There must be commitment to daily practice of exercise/movement.
There must be a shift in how stress is managed, and the message of body fatigue.
There must be an action of mindfulness, as Kelly McGonigal explains in this video.
*Mindfulness of the Body-Mind Connection* must be included as a part of every back rehabilitation program, and more proactively, as part of Ones' *Own Pursuit of Health and Well-Being*.

When monks set themselves on fire and they appear not to feel it, are they cheating using drugs etc? Or can mindfulness make agony easy?
