How My Mindset Alters My Pain Perception?
Came across a very cool article about how people approach pain. Apparently, they way we think about pain determines how much pain we actually experience.
A quote from the article, "Throughout the ages, athletes, soldiers in combat, and prisoners of war have intuitively learned how to use cognitive methods like imagery and distraction to alter perceptions of certain types of pain. Anyone who has read or seen Unbroken knows that Louis Zamperini was a master of the cognitive self-regulation of pain."

It's a bit of a dense read, but does a great job of explaining how our mind has such power in reducing our experience of pain.
