Karate chop:
Even though it hurts, I love and accept myself
Even though I am in pain, I accept my experience
Even though I feel the pain, I am okay
Top of the head: It seems like something always hurts!
Inner eyebrow: I am always in pain
Side of the eye: It makes me so angry
Below the eye: And sad
Under the nose: Why is this always happening to me?
Under the lips: It’s so frustrating
Collar bone: I wish it weren’t like this
Liver: It’s not supposed to be this way
Karate chop: But this is my experience
(Repeat all the points)
I feel so much pain
So much hurting
So much discomfort
So much uneasiness
I can’t just be okay
Feel safe
Feel pleasure
Feel a sense of peace and ease
Life always has to be so difficult
But maybe part of me likes this
It is familiar
I know it well
It gives me certainty
And a sense of control
I know exactly how it’s going to turn out
This is the part where I have pain
And I know all the lines
This is my show
The pain show
Pain is the main character
And I’m in the supporting role
Maybe something in this serves me
Perhaps I want to stay in pain
Stay in hurt
Stay in loss
Stay in anger
But I’m getting tired of the script
I am ready for a new way of being
A new way of seeing myself
I am so much more than just my pain!
I am complex and interesting
I am so much deeper than my hardships
I’ve got a lot going for me
I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve got a lot going on
And I am ready to let it shine
Ready for pain to take a backseat
So I can step forward at the star of my own show
Pain is just something that happens
It’s part of life
Even though sometimes it feels like the whole thing
I am ready to step in to my full experience
Allow myself to enjoy life
Allow my body to relax
Invite my mind to relax
I am ready for peace and ease
I can focus on the good in myself.
