The other night, after a long day of patients, kidsā activities, a singles match and trying to squeeze in my own workout, I caught myself doing the thing I always coach my clients not to do ā skipping recovery.
I was tired, stiff, and tempted to just crash on the couch with a glass of wine. But instead, I gave myself ten quiet minutes on the floor. A BEMER session, some diaphragmatic breathing, and simply letting my body downshift before bed.
The difference the next morning? Huge. My back didnāt feel tight, my energy was steadier, my legs didnāt feel heavy and I actually looked forward to moving again.
Recovery isnāt glamorous. It doesnāt earn you bragging rights or lots of instagram likes like a tough workout or a long tennis match. But itās the glue that holds everything together. Without it, your body canāt adapt, rebuild, or keep up with the life youāre asking it to carry.
āØ Small daily choices ā like five minutes of focused mobility or nasal breathing ā are what keep you strong enough to do the big things you love.
š Whatās one recovery ritual you swear by?
