I was having a conversation with a client who's recently suffered a pretty significant knee injury, and it got me thinking about how we deal with injuries mentally while trying to continue to lift and rehab the injury.
What we need to do is think about what can be done, and not about what we've lost/can't do right now. This will place us in a position where we can fixate on the positives and continue to tackle what we need to in order to maintain our habits.
We also need to be forgiving of ourselves when we have bad days and feel like the injury has gotten the best of us, but don't allow that to derail everything.
You're still just as in control as you were before you got injured, you just need to be more creative about how you can do things now.
