When I got injured, my whole world fell apart..
My doctor chuckled at me when I said I had been enduring this pain for 2 years.
TWO YEARS of constant pain, burning fire radiating through my arms from morning until night...
"Why didn't you come in sooner?" She laughed.
It's because I was scared of the recovery.
I was scared to take time off, because Fitness IS my stress relief.
But we are human, we are not machines. We are not designed to go 100%, 365 days a year... NOTHING in nature does that.
So I finally decided to take care of the injury. I asked how long it was going to take.
"3 months" She said.
"No punching, no lifting, no bending."
Might as well have ripped my heart out and put it in the garbage.
The first few weeks, I cried. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't even run, since that included bending my arms...
So at first, I walked. 🚶♀️
Then, I started reading...
I started taking my dogs to the dog park.....bringing my kids to the pool...
Honestly, I started RELAXING.
And THAT has been the wildest change.
It's easy for us to tell ourselves to GO GO GO in a world based on production.
But how often do we allow ourselves to slow down and do something, unproductive?
It's not laziness, it's wholeness. Learning to live both sides of the Yin & Yang is truly what it means to live a balanced life.
