Everyone is a winner
Athletes and the chronically ill usually hear the most about recovery. It is as if the normal stuff of daily life doesn’t deserve the blessed relief associated with taking a moment to get over something. When humans can break the cord on how and when to recover from life on a smaller scale, this little indulgence decreases the inevitable buildup of pain that occurs with ignoring the lesser signals. Athletes are trained to review their performance and take away what worked. In illness, there is often a review also of what worked and what will continue to benefit the patient. The comeback from the difficult situations or decisions that accompany everyday life doesn’t have to feel deflating. If done right, there should be a healthier regard for creating results. When things are done with more ease, they are not put off. And dealing more often with life’s little obstacles starts to feel like a skill. The recovered human gets stronger. In addition, like most instances, frequency improves the chances of hitting desired goals. Health is multi-dimensional. Take a chance on looking back just long enough to see what went well.
What does this prove?
Option #1: Do you think others are in their own corner?
Option #2: Can you change your strategy on a usual activity?
Option #3: Would more review elevate your personal support?
That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes how to get more recovery time, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
