📬 The Comeback Report

Edition 020

đź§  The Big Idea

Most people think recovery is only about the body. But the biggest gap I see isn’t strength or flexibility—it’s confidence.

Without confidence, every step feels shaky. With it, setbacks turn into momentum.

đź’ˇ Comeback Insight

Confidence works just like muscle: it grows when you train it. And research shows belief accelerates biology—expecting progress makes you more consistent and resilient.

3 ways to build it:

  1. Celebrate small wins → Don’t wait for big milestones. Log the little victories.

  2. Measure progress → Track something you can see, not just feel.

  3. Borrow belief → Surround yourself with people who’ve made their comebacks.

⚡️ One Quick Action for This Week

Pick one confidence rep and do it daily:

  • Write down one thing your body did better today.

  • Share a mini-win with a teammate or friend.

  • Note one task that felt easier than last week.

Confidence compounds—stack the reps.

✍🏾 Personal Note

I see this every week in clinic. The moment a patient realizes, “I can do this”, everything changes. That spark carries them through the grind of recovery. Your comeback isn’t just physical—it’s confidence work.

Stay positive,
