The brain is a highly suggestive organ that can influence pain perception. ·      Empowering language and positive suggestions can have a significant impact on pain management. ·      The placebo effect is a real and powerful phenomenon that should be explored and utilized. ·      Movement is medicine and can help in pain management. It is important to keep moving and try different forms of movement. ·      Subtle interventions can have profound effects on the body and brain. ·      Finding joy in activities outside of studying or work is important for overall well-being.
