Sidelined

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!

    I don’t think you were dumb.
    You were ambitious and a bit too over confident.
    It’s life my dear and life is the best teacher.
    Just look at the positive
    And enjoy all the attention and care.
    Soon you’ll be back to being yourself.

    Your mom.
