"Attack your rehab" and "CEO of your recovery". That's exactly what I needed to hear. Reframing it now. Thanks, team. Really.

Also, don't "catastrophize". 3-4 weeks feels like forever, but in a 10-year athletic life, it's a blip. You won't lose all your gains. You'll be back.

And use the free time. Read books, study, catch up on life admin. You'll come back mentally fresher, not just physically healed.

What PowerLifterPro said. Become the *CEO of your recovery*. Learn everything about your injury. Control the controllables. It helps you feel less helpless.

Ugh, rough times. Been there. You have to *reframe* it. This isn't "time off", this is "time to work on weaknesses". Focus on what you *can* do. Mobility, stability, nutrition. Attack your rehab like it's your new training plan.

Just got sidelined with a minor tear. No training for 3-4 weeks. I'm already going stir-crazy and feeling low. How do you mentally cope with an injury and not lose your mind?
