"Be realistic and set realistic expectations."

Many patients have an all or nothing attitude when it comes to healing from whatever injury or trauma they are experiencing. Pain can really drive a person to feel desperate for relief. That relief is attainable but you need to be sensible. Setting unrealistic goals and timelines can lead to sabotage.

"Even with setbacks, you can meet your goals!"

Set attainable goals and a realistic timeline for healing. Consider that however long you have been experiencing the injury is usually the minimum amount of weeks/months/years of treatment it will take to be fully healed. That might freak you out to hear, and that's okay. Please evaluate your goals and see if you can find a healthier expectation and a time-frame that will not sabotage your ability to fully heal fully. Usually the only person in the way of healing is ourselves and our excuses.
