After being fouled in a basketball game, players find themselves at the free-throw line to take a shot. Overall, the shooting motion looks relatively similar among players, but there are small differences that make each player’s technique unique to them. If you watch closely, you may notice that each player has their own stance, pre-shot routine and shooting mechanics. A professional basketball player spends countless hours practicing this shot and developing a routine that makes them feel comfortable and confident. There’s a saying in neuroscience that’s applicable here: “Nerves that fire together, wire together.” With practice, their brain creates a crisp and fine-tuned program for shooting the free throw, and repetition makes approaching their shot second nature. The less thinking required for the actual shot mechanics, the less they’ll try to make small adjustments in response to stress, pressure, fatigue and fear that could interfere with making the shot. This ability of the brain to adapt, change, rewire and refine is referred to as neuroplasticity. The repeated experience of pain is fired and wired together similarly to practicing free throws. The more you experience, think about and focus on pain, the more you can improve your brain’s ability to activate that pain program. Just like the way practice refines the shooter’s skills, the more you expect and believe pain will occur, the more likely pain will actually occur.
Want More Analogies Similar to This One?For this analogy and 50+ others, I highly recommend checking out my new book with co-author Jarod Hall. The book is titled Sticks and Stones. It is a collection of analogies & stories to help people gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of pain. With each analogy and metaphor covered throughout this text, you’ll find multiple stories that help relate the complex topics of pain, tissue breakdown, posture and more. Through each story, you’ll notice a strong focus on the power of language. Jim Heafner PT, DPT, OCS

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Hey, folks I wanted to share a cautionary tale about a Bitcoin scam that cost me $370,000. I got roped into it by a company called PROfox Investment Co., promising huge profits. But when it came time to collect, they vanished into thin air. I was devastated, but thankfully, a friend told me about Asset Recover Net. I reached out to them, and they worked their magic to get all my money back, plus the profits I was promised. If you've been scammed too, don't panic Just get in touch with Asset Recover Net:

I was defrauded of almost $540,000; if you want to get your lost bitcoin back, this is the key. I nearly lost everything when I sent this Russian guy money via Bitcoin during our conversation. However, EVIL HACKERS RECOVERY prompt involvement allowed me to promptly reclaim my $340.000 worth of Bitcoin. I have referred him to a few friends and co-workers since they are very excellent at what they do, and they have all turned into happy clients. They are reachable and have been a huge assistance to me in the trading profession. Hacking and Money Recovery. They are the greatest at both, possessing a variety of abilities to retrieve money and expose con artists. I'm relieved to have my money back, and I don't feel guilty about being the victim of one of these cunning and complex scams.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

My husband just woke up and decided our marriage was over. For a few months now, Hank and i have not been going well because he was having an affair with his assistant at work. I loved my husband so much and decided to stay and work on our marriage. In a short time, Hank stopped coming home and his close friend told me he has another apartment where he live with her. I was hurt and went on seeking for help because Hank was different from the man i married 10 years ago. Luckily, i found Dr Ilekhojie who promised to return my husband back to me. He performed a reconciliation spell and he returned back and now we are both happy again with our boys. If you have issues like mine, send Dr Ilekhojie an Email [email protected] or contact him on Whatsapp/Viber +2348147400259
