While recovering from my biking accident I had to make major adjustments to my exercise program. I could not strength train or do my usual cardio workouts. For two months I learned what it takes to slow down significantly and pay careful attention to my body. Post concussion I was extremely fatigued, dizzy, and slow to the point that I could not walk at my usual pace. While my brain was healing I learned the benefit of doing one thing at a time and not multitasking. Since I suffered a mild traumatic brain injury, I had to rely on my body to give me feedback. In my work as a trainer I see many people who are disconnected from their bodies. We are a society who lives in our heads, and places less value in our bodies. The wise person is one who has a healthy balance and relationship with both their mind and body. The greatest gift of this accicent was taking the time to heal, to tune in to myself in ways in which I have never had to pay attention. What does it mean for you to tune in to yourself?
