It’s depressing when you get a BIG injury.
𝗪𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐩, 𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭.
I thought that was it,
When will I climb again, how will I wrestle my son when I’m 90?
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞?
Lying in bed im my cast, boot after the surgeon says
“𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧”
That hits your soul for someone who has been into sport/exercise since age 11.
I had a decision to make.
𝐈 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐲𝐦
Or
𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐭.
My brain was at war with itself.
Stay in bed and doomscroll or get up and move something.
15 lbs heavier
I hobbled into my gym.
Sliding down my stairs on my bum.
Once in the gym I lost track of time.
Things started to flow. I moved the other 3 limbs.
I shed some tears after that.
For me being an Energised Entrepreneur who is the CEO of my body,
N𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧
This is huge for me.
So It’s mantra for clients and how I coach.
“Do what you can with what you have”
Results happen WAAAAY faster with that mindset.
The best bit.
My 90 year old self will kick my son ass - Lovingly.
