I fractured my ankle earlier this year (November-ish) at the WORST possible time and in the dumbest way imaginable, too. It threw me off majorly and my ankle still hurts occasionally today, and I still have to fight and struggle in order to progress and do what I want to do on it.

Honestly, channel the frustration of the injury into bettering yourself in some other way (like working out another part of your body). When you’re able to resume full physical activities, don’t allow a past injury to totally screw you over and hinder you from being your best. Obviously you don’t want to work to the point where you’re hurting yourself, but the satisfaction you’ll receive from knowing that you will not stop even after a major injury will motivate you to keep pushing and working.

I hope that made sense, lol.
