In fact, you can now decide to make your life less about pain and more about tolerance. Your new goal can be to take the suggested exercise and practice often enough that the pain, when it knocks on the door of your mind asking to be let in, will be told instead by you "go away!" You can now begin to strengthen your mind so that mental hardness will grow. Your pains will begin to banish from your consciousness.
Ultimately, you will think less about being in pain or sick. Therefore, you will report to others less and less about your conditions. The outcome will be that you will become less sensitive and be in less pain. You'll heal daily and slowly by focusing less on the pains. One day you will reach the level of a recovered hypochondriac. This is only one of many exercises to try.
Please write and let me know how this practice of silence works for you. If you have suggestions of your own, please share them with us. Trying this method will cause your hypochondriac symptoms to disappear. The quality of your life and the lives of those around you will be more enjoyable and you will be able to do increasingly fun and rewarding things with your life. As corny as it sounds, at this point, it seems fitting to say happy trails to you... until we meet again.
