Walking at Your Own Pace

Hey Fam!

During stroke recovery, it’s natural to look around and notice how quickly others seem to improve. One client of mine once shared how they felt disheartened seeing someone else walk confidently while they were still working on standing.

A thought came up to me and I asked them, what would you like for your recovery to be like at where you are now. That caused them to think deeply and surprisingly, they shared with me, instead of looking at the others, they can focus on how far they have come and be positively looking forward to what else they can achieve in the near future.

“Recovery is not a race. Just like flowers in a garden, each one blooms in its own time. Some early, some later, but all still beautiful.”

If you ever find yourself comparing, pause and remember: your journey is unique. Progress is progress, no matter the pace. 🌸

In any case - if you’s like to try some shoulder and arm strengthening exercises which would take about 15mins and can be done safely at home, here’s my latest video, hope it helps :)

With love,

BP
