Rebeccah Silence compares emotional healing to a foot waking up from sleep: it hurts briefly, but that pain means it's working. When you return to exercise after time off, soreness takes weeks to fade, but starting small—walking before running—and listening to your body gets you there.

I always say when it comes to the practice of emotional healing, when your foot falls asleep and it starts to wake up, it hurts a little bit. And when your life has fallen asleep and you start to wake up, it's going to hurt a little bit, but it doesn't last forever. No.
Anytime you're starting, let's say your body has been weakened and resting for a while, you go to work out the gym, you know, and then people like, I, you know, I'm hurting everywhere. Next day or then it's going to take 2 weeks. To wake up that muscles and feel sore and, you know, to re-heal again. But once you get going, get going, you're going to feel the best. And that's why I always tell people, like, if you have never started, I always give example of this, like, don't try to be 0 to 100. You don't have to. If you feel fragile, it's okay to take rest, right? So it's same thing, your body, listen to your body. You know your body better than anybody. We're here to help. What you need to do is if you have never done anything ever, you never taken care, take care of your health or running, start with the walking, walking process. Then you can lift to the jogging and then you can run marathon. You'll be ready to run marathon. So do one at a time. Yeah, gradually. Yeah, I love that.
