Mental strategies for a faster recovery include knowledge and patience.
Frequently athletes react to injuries with wide range of emotions including denial, anger, and even depression. An injury often seems unfair to anyone who has been physically active and otherwise healthy. Although your feelings are real, it’s important to move beyond the negative and find more positive strategies to cope with this setback. In many cases dealing gracefully with an injury will make you a more focused, flexible, and resilient athlete.

I’m really pleased that I found your blog. I?ve found a few good tips here – I?ll be a regular visitor from now!
I really liked your article. Very informative. Keep up the good work.
Interesting subject. What you think about this, have some thoughts. Let’s continue the conversation and discuss.
are you sure about this???
Its awful when you’re in that hole with depression, but I believe you can climb out of it, its a long journey but boy is it worth it, as the suffering and the experience in the long term becomes an asset. Would you agree?
Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the vine. You are right. Its doable, but takes time and a lot of work. Many people think that medication is the magic bullet…but medication doesn’t change our attitudes, doesn’t help us understand the gifts that come from the wounds or any of the growth necessary to really put depression in perspective. Also, when people spend an inordinate amount of time in ‘coulda, shoulda, woulda’ land…they don’t use the now moment in a productive way.
