Is it aging or is it lifestyle?
Something i've caught myself slipping on before in my career is chalking up new aches and pains to aging.
Whenever i've noticed this narrative start to creep in, I check in with myself. Where are the root of these new aches and pains deriving from, and, as such, what habits have I been practicing that resulted in them?
Sometimes this takes time, and honest, deep reflection.
But what i've found is - each time I can begin to understand where my behaviors has resulted to the pain, how I can adjust to ensure relief, and therefore navigate my state to a space where the nagging aches and pains resolve and I am pain-free.
It is not only a plan of informed action, but attitude and mindset to change my narrative that OF COURSE I can and will heal.
Of course.
And then, I do.
I have so much passion behind this topic because I've lived it, and, being in a gym, I hear it time and time again - folks slipping into a narrative where they chalk up thier current circumstances to age and, consciously or not, forgo responsibility.
When in reality, there is SO much in your control you can do - movement, nutrition, sleep, stress management - to improve your situation.
I'm not saying pain isn't real, and i'm not saying all pain can be resolved easily. But, I AM saying attitude, action, and what we allow ourselves to believe matters.
So if you're in a state recently where aches and pains have become your new norm, I challenge you to get curious, dig deeper, and do an assessment. And, if you'd like support, apply for coaching on our website linked in the bio. ππ»
