On Trust
One of the biggest things a stroke takes from you isn’t strength.
It isn’t balance.
It isn’t mobility.
It’s trust.
Trust that your leg will hold you.
Trust that your foot will clear the floor.
Trust that your hand will do what you’re asking it to do.
Trust that your body won’t surprise you.
And once that trust is gone, every movement feels different.
On Confidence
Most people think they need confidence before they try something.
In reality, confidence usually comes after.
Confidence is the result of evidence.
Evidence that your body can do the thing.
Evidence that you’ve practiced it before.
Evidence that you’ve survived setbacks and kept going.
This week, focus less on feeling confident and more on collecting evidence.
One successful step.
One successful transfer.
One successful reach.
Then another.
