Recovery takes an annoyingly long time… I expected these thoughts to be gone by now, but I’m learning that they have no power unless I act on them. Over the years, I’ve had these thoughts less frequently, they’ve gotten quieter, and I’ve gotten stronger in resisting the urge to act on them. In this sport, it’s almost impossible to avoid the messaging that your smallest self is your best self, but this year gave me some concrete data that that isn’t true. Your body and appearance are not the reason for your success, don’t let anyone (or your own brain) convince you otherwise 😉🤗 #bodyimage #edrecovery #voiceinsport
