Sidelined

a teddy bear is injured

Sidelined by injury

It’s no fun

Sidelined by injury

Because I was being dumb.

Sitting around waiting to heal

It’s boring

It’s annoying

It’s got no appeal.

But I know I need to be patient

I know what I need to do

Because jumping back too quickly

Will only lead to injury, part two.

Farheen’s Note: I messed up my back a week ago while doing squats at the gym. Not because I was lifting heavier than I could but because I didn’t listen to my body cues – cues that were telling me that I was tired and achy from work I had been doing in previous days. So instead of being smart and taking it easy for one day, I was dumb and now I have to take it easy for many days ☹ I’m going a little stir crazy and missing my gym days but I know that I need to fully recover otherwise things will only get worse. Injuries suck so be smart and focus on prevention!
