My friend is really into “spirituality” and the “law of attraction

” and all of that. And I do think you can overcome a lot with mindfulness. We can control our perceptions and thoughts if we want to.

But she asked how I was after surgery and I told her I was in a lot of pain and her response is “you’re only in pain if you believe you’re in pain.”

I mean….ok. 😅 I’ll just tell myself that.
