How you feel (your feelings or emotions) are guiding you by indicating back to you what you are thinking. This is quite a spectacular thing! Make sure you get this.
How you feel emotionally is a direct indicator of what you are thinking, as well as how you feel physically is also a perfect indicator of where your thought processes predominantly are! Remember that one of the basic rules of these pain disorders is that the pain is a "signal" to become aware of what you are thinking.
It is your thoughts that create inner tension, stress and anxiety. This is why it is vital to know your unique thought processes. As you think a certain way over and over and over (fear, anger, striving, controlling) you are creating.
Your emotions or feelings are telling you what you are creating within you by how you feel. You may feel stressed, tense, or depressed or wrung out or scattered. Look back at what you have been predominantly thinking about.
You may feel sluggish, sore and stiff and have a nagging pain in your back, butt or neck. Same guidance system. Remember your emotions are physically located in your body. They guide you by letting you know how you feel (frustrated-out of control and sore/stiff/pain).
What you are thinking and how you feel is Always in direct correlation with each other. In fact they are a perfect match! Always.
Instead of trying to change how we feel...(go to the doctor, take meds, perform a new stretch, or wrap up our body parts) OR (find a new job, change a relationship, make more money, buy more stuff, move somewhere better)
All of these things may temporarioy ease how we feel, but will never fix our chronic pain. So instead of trying to change how we feel, the only way to permanently feel better and end our pain (emotionally and physically) is to change or switch how we predominantly THINK.
