Have you ever thought about that?

Who goes through an injury on purpose?

Especially with overuse injuries, where the injury often occurs from a misunderstanding of technique or body mapping, it can be really easy to put the blame on ourselves, or even those who originally taught us.

Sometimes that blame can be debilitating, and we fail to give ourselves the grace we need to move through recovery healthily.

Here is a life principle that I hope helps you like it does me: Most everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.

What does that mean?

It means that we didn't play incorrectly on purpose, it was something that we were unaware of!

Part of recovery is becoming aware of those things that caused our injury.

But no one talks about the other side of that coin: giving yourself credit for the good you were already doing.

Your best thinking got you this far...but your best learning will get you on the right path of recovery.

Keep on keepin' on!
