Leaning into the discomfort and effort is how you grow, heal, and make gains. You also need to allow yourself the opportunity to lean out and take a breather from time to time.
Â
Healing, be it heart or body, is hard. Growing, improving, getting stronger, getting healthier, getting back on your feet, there are no shortcuts, no hacks or easy way out.Â
Â
Even though the discomfort or pain may not let up, you can give yourself moments to not engage, to lean out, to just say f*ck it I can’t do this today. When you allow yourself space to feel your feels and absorb all the work you’ve done, you come back stronger and ready for more.Â
Be it physical, emotional, or psychological injuries or major health changes or events, it all takes energy. It can all be hard. Recovering from a pretty big climbing accident and navigating perimenopause - some days I feel like I’ve been wrestling a gorilla. A perimenopausal gorilla. I’ve learned that I’ll make it back, I sometimes just need a moment to breathe.
