Every once in a while when I’m training I’ll have a little bit of an injury to deal with. Most times I just modify my workout so that I can allow for the injury to heal but there are times where I just have to take a break completely so the proper healing can really take place.
During the times when I take a break to heal, I try to do things to strengthen growth to the injured area of my body.
Honestly, its never really fun and in fact sometimes it’s a painful process to go through but once I’m healed… I’m stronger in that area of my body and I know what to do to keep it strong and prevent further injury.
Currently, I’m nursing some soreness in both of my calf muscles and getting through it well, but in the process it got me to thinking again about the lessons to be learned here when it comes to everyday life.
I started thinking about the heart as a physical muscle that has to be worked out and strengthened to be a strong and healthy heart, but also how the heart is an emotional muscle that is more prone to injury.
I’m no expert on issues of the heart, but I do know any time my heart gets hurt, I take a break and find ways to strengthen my character and confidence so that my heart is stronger and grows through the process.
Honestly, its never really fun and in fact sometimes it’s a painful process to go through but once my heart is healed… I’m stronger and more confident with who I am and the direction I’m headed in that area of my life.
So the question for you is..
How do you heal the issues of your own heart?
