What are reasons to push through pain?
(sh.itjust.works)
Tattoos
Child birth
Someone's counting on you.
To gain.
Or maintain.
Or abstain
Depends on the pain.
If it's joints or ligaments, stop immediately. Coddle the shit out of them.
Muscles, treat them like dirt, get shit done.
if its worth it.
If I know it's a stomach cramp, but I'm not done my work out or on my bike.
Two reasons.
- Because you don't get what you want out of life by running from pain, you just have to embrace the suck.
- Because I've had chronic back pain for the past ~20 years and there's nothing my doctors can do about it, my only alternative to pushing through the pain is to make myself unable to feel pain anymore, and despite the pain I still quite enjoy life.
Glory
Life has its ups and downs. When you have pain, you’re in the down. Look forward to the up at some point after.
