"OK - this is just how I'm feeling right now."
I think this is a very wise and very good step. You've recognized where you are, what it looks likes and have begun to take a step away from it.
I use visualization too. It requires concentration doesn't it? Especially when you just want to give into it.
Actually, Clearskies, a poster here was the first person that introduced me to the concept of immersive visualization that uses all the senses. I think it is a kind of mindfullness.
The "okay, here is where I am - let's get on with it", I think is very important. It brings the pain into the rational side of your brain where you can deal with it better.
Actually,thanks for posting. This discussion is helping me too.
Seldom.
