IT may have been difficult for Angel Locsin to accept her fate after suffering from a spinal injury but over some time, she has learned to make the most out of it and embrace her condition.
On her Instagram post where she shared a clip of herself at the gym practicing her kicking skills, she admitted that she used to shrug off body aches and then reminded her followers about the importance of taking a break if their body gives up.
âMy spine injury will always be with me and it took me a while to accept that.
âAs a former athlete who used to believe in âmind over matterâ to conquer pain, I realized that pain is sometimes just a reminder that we might be pushing ourselves too hard beyond our limits,â she wrote.
She then encouraged her followers who are going through the same situation to not give up.
âBut it doesnât mean that you should stop. Donât go there. PLEASE. Rest for a while. DONâT EVER rush yourself to recovery and NEVER let pressure hinder your bodyâs healing process. Take your time. Donât ever feel guilty or sorry. And donât try to over-compensate just to please others. Focus on what you can do. ACCEPT and learn to ADJUST,â she shared.
âAfter many relapses & tears, despite being told that I CANNOT anymore, this is me doing kicks again đ Prolly not the way that I used to, but this is fine for now. Iâm doing this carefully this time with the help of my trusted PT and instructors. Still a long way to go.
âIf you are suffering from injuries and reading this, I hope your process will not take as long as mine. If it does, thatâs fine. You would know when youâre ready to bounce back. Praying for no pain and speedy recovery.
âIf you are among the lucky ones who are not in pain, thanks for taking time to read this long post. I appreciate your effort and I hope that you could help uplift the suffering through awareness and understanding,â she continued.
Angel has been gearing up for her role in the upcoming Kapamilya TV series âThe Generalâs Daughter.â (Push)
