Pain Is A Problem For The Body, Not The Mind

Many of us are conditioned from a young age to add an extra layer of suffering on top of any physical pain we are experiencing. We feel sick, and then we tell ourselves a story about how terrible things are because we are sick. This makes us suffer twice over. The ancient Stoics provide us with a mantra to help us untangle this issue so we can reduce our suffering in the face of injury or illness.
