These words from Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen are full of amazing wisdom...
"Restrictions, pain, and discomfort are very loud. Because they signal that something is not right, we pay attention to them. Once we pay attention, then how do we hear the quiet, gentle sound of ease underneath this loud one? We can say to the loud one, 'I'm paying attention to you by finding the support for you in the silence, in the quiet breath that is free.' Even if nine out of ten breaths are stressful and only one is free, the free one is the answer to the nine stressful ones. 'I hear you nine but I'm going to focus on the one. I'm not ignoring you, I'm just changing my focus.” -Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
