Embracing the Sore Phase

I love the feeling of being sore for a few days after a challenging workout. It signifies that I have pushed myself and accomplished something new.

This soreness, also known as muscle soreness or DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), indicates that my muscles have been stressed and are adapting to a higher level of physical activity. It shows that I have caused small micro-tears in the muscle fibers, which will eventually lead to increased strength and resilience as my body repairs them.

The sore phase can occur not only from working out but also from trying new habits, starting a new job, or dealing with a challenging life situation. It’s important to embrace this discomfort as it signifies growth and progress. Remember that the sore phase is temporary but necessary for personal development and improvement.
