Have You Really Hit a Plateau?
Before you decide you’ve plateaued, ask yourself a few hard questions:
1️⃣Did you actually stall, or did you overload the system too soon?
2️⃣Were you consistent long enough to adapt or just impatient for results?
3️⃣Are you giving your body recovery, or are you topping up fatigue instead?
A lot of people call it a “plateau” when what’s really happened is they dropped consistency or spiked the load. You can’t pour from an empty tank and in rehab, that tank is your capacity.
Maybe We Haven’t Sat Here Long Enough
Sometimes the best thing you can do isn’t to push harder it’s to stay.
Stay in this stage until it feels solid.
Stay until the movements that once felt uncertain now feel effortless.
Stay until your body trusts you again.
Because if you keep skipping steps and draining the fuel tank, we’ll keep circling back to the same spot: pain, frustration, burnout.
The Lesson in the Block
If you feel blocked, don’t rush to escape it study it.
What’s it trying to show you? Maybe it’s patience, maybe it’s balance, maybe it’s that your “more is better” mindset isn’t serving you anymore.
Progress doesn’t always look like doing more.
Sometimes it’s doing the same thing, better.
With more control. More intent. More self-trust.
That’s the nitty gritty of real recovery.
It’s not sexy, but it’s where the magic happens.
