2012 was a great year for me

by BarbyIngle
written by BarbyIngle

2012 was a great year for me as a health advocate. I was featured nationally in Women’s Day Magazine, My first for Women Magazine, USA Today’s Chronic Pain Supplemental this past September, Dr. Drew’s Life Changers show, and the Newlywed Game Show. I was also given the honor of being the recipient of the Neuropathy Action Foundation’s 2012 “You Are Our Hero” Award, and participated through the Power of Pain Foundation as a volunteer in 73 events throughout the country in the past 12 months. One of my most fun events this year was the POPF’s Nervember campaign, where each day of November I got to send out a task for people to complete to help raise awareness and better personally advocacy for chronic pain patients. Most of all I am grateful for the friendships and connections I have made with thousands of patients throughout the world via social media, videos, phone calls and emails. Knowing I was able to give back to others in meaningful ways has been a great blessing!

Smiling Can Help You Be Happier!

by BarbyIngle
written by BarbyIngle

Research has shown that when you smile, your brain assumes you must be happy1.

A good way to start the day, prepare for a doctors visit, or a social event (especially if you tend towards depression) is to make it a habit to practice everyday for a few minutes, eventually, it will become more natural and more of a reflex action to help release stress.

Practice the following simple meditation (might help to close your eyes) for a few minutes each day:

While inhaling, smile

While exhaling, relax deeply

You can do different smiles: a subtle hint of a smile, exaggerated smile, big and soulful, eyes crinkling, mouth open or closed, or just mentally imagine smiling.

You can practice this exercise for longer periods if desired, but if you find yourself not consistently doing the exercise because you can’t spare five minutes, go back to a one-minute meditation. The cumulative value of doing this exercise over a long period of time is more important than how long you spend each morning.

1 Strack, F., Martin, L.L. and Stepper, S. (1988) Inhibiting and facilitating conditions of the human smile: A nonobstrusive test of the facial feedback hypothesis. J. Pers. Soc. Psychol. 54: 768-777
