I like to think I'm a pretty strong person...but today I lost it a bit. This rain we've been having has not been kind to my back and recently injured shoulder. My idea of recent is a few months ago! And in case you might ask I did complete my workout today, well... because unless I am bedridden I will not miss it. My back actually feels better after exercise...the shoulder not so much!
So I had a bit of a meltdown and pity party for myself. Then I decided to go meditate. Post meditation....Ok I felt a bit better and had a chance to reflect on things...
This is what I came up with.....Despite my struggles, there are others out there that are in more pain than me. Despite my pain, I am able to do most of the activities I love. And despite my pain I have a pretty great life and I'm motivated to make it even greater!
I won't lie...there are going to be not so great days. But on those days, prior to having a meltdown, I am going to try to remember all that I reflected on today.
Pity Parties...Not Allowed!!!

Proffresional athletes go through this all the time. They even have a label for it, P.R.I.C.E.. Just imagine suffering from inflamation prior to an Olympic competition. It happens all the time. They are accustomed to listening to their body, taking care of inflamation without causing further damage along with keeping their body in top form. You can do it too.
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to read that you contributed this rain to your additional pain. Well, not glad that you were in pain, but that I'm not crazy for thinking the weather helped trigger shoulder and neck pain for me this past week. I blogged about it too...but it was more like Bitchin'.
ReplyDeleteI have fallen wayyyy off track with re to good eating and working out. I finally did the Shakeology 30 min's this AM. I hadn't done it in at least 2 months. I hope I can keep it up.
