All Or Nothing ...... Just Don't Do It!

All Or Nothing ...... Just Don't Do It!
Picture
​So many of us use this approach as we try to start or restart fitness programs. We think we should be able to jump in where we left off 6 months ago, and then we give up when doing so leads to pain and defeat.

I’ve been a physical therapist for 30 years and can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation with my patients and my yoga students.
Coaching the behavioral side of things has become a regular part of my practice.

Why is moderation so hard?  It takes patience and humility. We need to acknowledge that our body needs time to catch up to our wishes.

I have been there too. After an injury - I slowly start to get more active and am challenged by how much I have to do.  First there is the excitement and enthusiasm, then the realization of how slow I will need to go. Not fun - but so what? It’s better than the alternative of doing nothing.

We all need to sort through this and come to terms with the ebbs and flows of rehabbing from an injury, getting more fit or picking up a new activity.

Don’t crash and burn!
