Chronic back pain can be very destructive to our lives and overall outlook. Yet there are many who suffer daily with back pain, and continue to lead productive, happy lives.  How do they do it?

An attitude of gratitude for what IS going right is crucial to maintaining this mature perspective.  Take a blank sheet of paper, and write down everything in your life that is going well.  Do you have happy, healthy children?  A good job?  Write them down.  You will be amazed to see how long the list is when you are finished.  Reading through this list every morning will help you to keep a positive perspective.

Another way of handling the resulting negativity pain can cause is by making time every morning to meditate and calm your mind.  Back pain is intensified by stress, and stress is a part of every normal person’s life.  Meditation is scientifically proven to reduce stress, and pain, and can help shape your life in a positive way.  The time taken to meditate will pay dividends in increased productivity.

It is also critical to manage your pain in an effective way.   Using ergonomic back supports/ergonomic seats will help change your outlook on life considerably by providing you with the support you need while working, driving, or even watching a movie.   It will provide you with both pelvis and spine support, improve your posture, and relieve sitting fatigue – which is very important if your job requires many hours in front of a computer or terminal.  Most office chairs are very poorly designed, and can be the root cause of the back pain you are experiencing (if not the result of a degenerative disease or accident).

By using a posture and back support system, you will learn to pay closer attention to your posture and be aware of how you are sitting – both critical factors for managing back pain and becoming more productive.

And less pain plus increased productivity is sure to lead to a better attitude!
