is the pay off? is there anything at all that you benefit from your pain? at first you might want to say no way! however, give your time to really think about it. does your pain prevent you from exercising and gives you an excuse not to lose weight? how about pain from a bad break up? do you use it as a way to keep from getting close to others? maybe you have physical pain that keeps you from doing housework . whatever possible reason you can think of, write it down.
who am i without this pain? think about what would happen if you woke up without the pain.
