Episode 21 - Time for Recovery

Blooming Voices Podcast

When recovering from a physical injury, mental trauma, an illness, a breakup, whatever, it takes time! The twins talk about illness and injuries from their past and how they got through them.
Takeaways

• Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to take the time to recover or heal when you are sick or hurt.
• Sometimes an illness or injury can permanently change our bodies and the way we function.
• Patience and acceptance will help you navigate the new normal you’re experiencing.
• To heal ourselves, it takes more than focusing on the physical body. We also need to take care of our mindset and our mental health.
• A mood held long enough starts to become part of your personality which then becomes your personal reality.
• Our thoughts drive so much of our real world experiences.
• Pay attention to the thoughts you keep thinking about and how that affects your decisions, emotions, and present circumstances.
• It’s okay to reach out to others for support or help when you’re stuck. Getting help is not weakness.
• Everyone’s journey and results will look different even if two people seem to be on the same track. That’s okay, be patient and focus on your own path.
• Know your body type, like if rigorous exercise vs slow yoga is better for you.
• Embrace changes and learn to navigate through it rather than trying to hold on to the past. You’ll be surprised at the doors that are waiting to open when you do.
