On the thankfully rare occasions I have to take a painkiller, I give myself a little pep talk before I swallow them. I tell myself that I will soon start to feel the impact, and then I imagine the chemicals surging through my system, doing good.
That’s not as weird as it may sound, and it’s something I’ve been doing since making a science documentary where we showed that you can reduce back pain using nothing more than the power of the mind.
