In light of heavy emotions and stress, I always find refuge in the gym, yoga studio, or cycle class. But about two months ago, I sustained my first ever injury...and in the blink of an eye, my life went from one full of activity to one in which I was extremely limited in movement and forced to rest. I could not release my emotions and energy into exercise, and I felt uneasy and frustrated with my lack of control. Now that I'm finally recovered, I can reflect on all that this injury has taught me: how to seek help, how to be patient and resilient, how to transform my goals with health and fitness, and how to listen to my body.
