Quotes to ponder:

"The anticipation of discomfort may lead you to avoid certain activities or movements, perpetuating the cycle of pain and anxiety."

"Where attention goes, energy flows. Redirect your focus away from pain and toward things that bring you joy."

"Recovery is a process of surrendering to what is, practicing acceptance, and embracing your moment-to-moment reality without judgment."
