I just wanted to post the absolute importance of taking stock and something that I realized the other day.
I have come so incredibly far.
Last month went on a vacation that had me walking each day. Most of this walking was without my brace, and it wasn't until the third day of excursions that I encountered significant pain. And it frustrated me. Quite frankly it pissed me right off.
My family helped my by pointing out how far I have come. By helping me take stock.
Two years ago I couldn't walk two city blocks.
I just spent a week moving more with less pain than I would have experienced two years ago. I just spent a week being active and overall experiencing less pain than I would have experienced even six months ago.
I had been doing my physio and exploring as many non-invasive options for healing as I could find, but things really started to take off when we started bursting.
Bursting at home helped my brain believe I am the kind of person who moves for their health. That I am the kind of person who CAN move for their health
Bursting at home got me back into the gym.
Getting back into the gym is helping me get even stronger than just my physio was doing.
Being the kind of woman who is consistent, and being the kind of woman who believes in herself again is like... I'm not even sure how to describe it.
Freeing
Liberating
Empowering
Refreshing
I just needed to put it into words. I needed to see it in black and white.
I have come so far.
I just needed to put it into my own words and remind myself of how amazing I really am.
Take stock, my friends!
