Let’s talk about injury. No, not a physical injury, a mental injury. I think we all have either been there or are currently there. And you know what, it’s time to heal for good.
So what is a mental injury? It’s a wound that is engraved in your mind. A wound that says….. I’m not good enough, I’m not smart enough, I’m not strong enough, I’m not fast enough, I’m not healthy enough, I’m not positive enough, I’m not successful enough and so on and so on and so on.
Well, I’m done with it. How can we stop the wound from swelling? How can we let it heal? That’s just it…..sometimes we CAN'T fix it. We can only SURRENDER to it. Why? Because we are human. Imperfections and flaws are always going to be there. God gave us those for a reason. God also allows us to feel broken so that we can rely on Him to rebuild us, to heal us, to feel at peace with our humanness.
I don’t really know where I am going with this, but it has been on my heart. Mental injuries can linger on for years if we don’t let things go. If we don’t let down walls. If we don’t learn to find strength and encouragement from God and from others who love us.
My mind is done being on the injured list. God, thank you for letting me see my flaws and embrace them. Today, I am finally starting to feel at peace. That wound is shrinking because I am finally start to treat it properly.
Phew, that was a lot. I feel better now. Let’s end this mush on a high note, shall we?
I heard HERE that Cherries and Berries can help refresh the brain. I’m all over that! Here is another custom healthy bite order that just might help heal that mental injury.
Cherry Berry Delight Bite
So good, I just had to kiss it!
- 2/3 cup dried cherries or cherry flavored dried cranberries.
- 2 tbsp crushed dried banana chips
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten free animal crackers
- 2 heaping spoonfuls of natural peanut butter
- 2-3 tbsp honey
- 35grams strawberry protein powder (I used BIOCHEM 100% Whey)
- Grind up cherries in food processor. Makes sure you grind up the rest of your dry ingredients as well. Transfer into a large bowl and add in peanut butter and honey. Mix well, then roll into balls/bites. Freeze right away then store in fridge or freezer to maintain freshness. Makes 20-22 bites.
Dare I ask....how’s your mental health?
I hope it is well my friends!
To all you Mothers out there…..HAVE A WONDERFUL MOTHER’S DAY!
Cheers,
LC

You are SO right about mental injuries. They can get out of hand. I am glad you had that on your heart because I know God probably put it there so you could tell all of the lovely people who read your lovely blog!
Happy Mother's Day.. you are totally a mom to Abbie ;)
Girl I needed this post!! I had a fall out last night with myself. I started being negative and then just said no. And then said 5 positive things. It can be hard, but like you said God is there to pick us up :)
Love the picture of you and your mom!!! so pretty
wow that looks DELICIOUS! the pic of you and your mom is so cute :) xoxo
same here! i was so sick of the feeling. I knew God was saying to let go of
those thoughts. I am so glad your positive thoughts came through right then! You
are amazing and so wonderfully made. Love you both!! Wish you could be here with
us on mothers' day...I'd share my mom with ya!
hehe.

i love, love, love this post lindsay! thank you so much for the motivational words and the reminder that we are our own worst critics. we focused on this kind of negative self talk a lot in yoga teacher training and how to eliminate it from our lives so we can be positive and uplifting for ourselves and everyone around us. it can be difficult to let this kind of thinking go, especially if it is something that you've carried around for a long time as a "truth" but i love your encouragement to surrender to it.
have a wonderful sunday. you are an amazing woman!
oh gosh girl, thank you! I would love to hear more about your yoga training and
how they taught you about overcoming negative talk. You should do a blog post
about it. Hope you had a great weekend in Atlanta!

My mental health is not the best these days (okay, that sounds like I'm going crazy, haha:). But no, I was already starting to get very nervous about my half ironman next weekend, and my recent foot injury had completely thrown me for a loop. My emotions and thoughts are all over the place, ans questioning everything, ah! It takes a lot to get to me usually, too.
Those cherry bites look amazing!! I have all the ingredients except the banana chips...BUT, I think today is grocery shopping day!:)
I so wish I had some banana chips and GF animal crackers right now. YUM. As for the mushy part of the post. Great post my friend. I love this one so much. I have mental injuries that I keep fighting myself. I am sure we all do. Sometimes it's so hard to not dwell on them - we almost foster the growth of the injuries rather than let them heal.
well its the perfect taper time. Rest up, you can do this. One day at a
time. :)
Let me know if you try the bites and happy sunday erin!

OK - first of all - yummmmmmmmy! Second of all - sigh.... I've had many different chapters involving wounds and healing. Sometimes I 'work' them - actively seeking answers, insight and growth. Sometimes they seem to be healing and then BAM - they come up out of no where. I do think the process of trying to become aware and embracing them - letting them bleed, allowing the feelings - really allows them to eventually scab over and heal. What I can say is that now, many, MANY old wounds don't even crop up any more. There was a day that I woke up and "it" was different. Over time, my wiring shifted. I had a funny conversation w my BF+ last week - I was feeling angry and resentful and it was a glimpse of some old stuff. It was totally not logical and I knew that. But the feelings were there and I told him about it. I said, "I know it doesn't make sense, but it's honest," as I tried to smile. He just smiled back and told me that he KNOWS me - so there's really nothing I could say or feel that would be a surprise to him - logical or not - he doesn't care how it sounds. He was happy that I didn't simmer and that I was honest with him. Really -is it that simple sometimes? BUT it's taken decades to "know" myself and have the strength to be honest. Hugs!
Kris, I just loves you for this. YOur honesty, your wisdom, your encouragement!
It is well accepted here! I hope you have a wonderful mother's day. I will
celebrate you!
:P

I feel the same way sometimes. We beat ourselves up SO much mentally!! Someone recently posted (I think it was SkinnyRunner) about how we shouldn't say to ourselves what we wouldn't say to our best friend. A long time ago I compared it to whether you would say that to "little" you, or five-year-old you. That puts it in perspective for myself sometimes!!!
Those bites look so darn delicious!!! I am so glad I have dried cranberries:)
I totally agree with this entire post. THere are so many times when I don't feel like I'm living up to my potential as an athlete or trainer or whattever else there is out there that I'm doing and I'll sit there and beat myself up because of it, instead of sitting down and praying and being appreciative of everything that God has blessed me with thus far and the trials and tibulations I've gone through b/c they've made me stronger. He is so truly amazing!
Those bites look sooo amazing!
It is always good to remember that,at end of each day everything is just a phase and it's all good.And your cherry dish made me merry.Will try that one out!!
have a fantastic day!! :)
Smriti
A wonderful post as always Lindsay :) Mental health injuries truly can be more harmful than physical ones and so insidious. I know all to well the terrible and tragic effect these injuries it can have on my life and others.
I am so thankful and happy to say that my mental health is very well at present thanks to the love and support of family & friends (including wonderful bloggers and readers!), kindness to myself, and the help of trained mental health professionals.
Those bites look so divine anything with peanut butter and cherries sounds wonderful to me! :)
Happy Mother's day to your wonderful Mom! :)
Well, I think you're perfect. And so are those cherry balls. :-)
You and your mom are beautiful!!!
And this is SUCH a fabulous post. I love it. I have little injuries in my own mind and heart that prevent me from doing someof the things I love and achieving some of the goals I set -- and I'm done with them today too!!
Love the pic of you and your mom an definitely excited to try out that recipe :)
Thanks for this post. I never thought of beliefs like that as mental injuries but it is so true. Plus...I work with my clients ALL the time in helping them realize that they can get to a place of acceptance, which is much more healing than constantly trying to change themselves. Sometimes it takes longer to get there than others...but I truly believe it is a healthier place to be. It does not mean that you never wish things were different, but it means that you appreciate the way you are in that moment and can more forward toward greater possibility :) have a great day!!
This is a wonderful post. When I have a physical injury all I do is try to get over it, with doctors visits, special wraps, medicine, etc--but when it comes to the mental I expect it to be gone right away!
How freeing to simply accept these things as part of us, and move on!!
Beautiful post, love! Those cherry berry delights look delicious :-)
Awesome post Lindsay -- yes there are times when we need to just throw our hands up and allow God to work in us -- he knows what is going on and we just have to trust him.
i wrote this post then read skinnyrunners and wow! I loved what she said and I
love what you said about how we could treat a younger us or our best friends. a
great reminder!

I didn't think this was 'mushy' at all. I thought it was beautiful. I really need to emulate you and let things go, rather than angsting over everything and being so self-absorbed. You vocalised a lot of thoughts I've been having recently but haven't been able to put into words.
And on a lighter note, you look SO much like your Mum! Both of you carry yourself so well, with style, grace and elegance.

This is such a true and beautiful post Lindsay. We need to remember that God has a plan for us (and it has a happy ending) so we just seed to relax and let him do his thing. He will present us the opportunities to make the right decisions and it's at those times we need to seize the moment. God bless and have an awesome day Lindsay.
I wish I could answer your question with some positivity-brimming, how I can't relate to feeling so confused and self-doubting... Alas, I empathise wholeheartedly! And I was grateful that you just sorta went-with-the-flow on your post... I find it way more insightful/ reassuring that someone else experiences similars thoughts than had it been a completely edited/ re-edited post
xoxo
Jess,
I am so glad that we can relate on this. So many times we just hold it in and
let it fester. Not good! right? I hope that you and I can both let go of that
grip. CHeers to you for realizing it too.

You are SO right about mental injuries and those one's can last an entire life. Those cherry delights look incredible! Have a beautiful day!
Those little bites look tasty. Wanna come over and make some today? I am out of dried cherries and cranberries. Maybe I need a special trip to get some. ..in Texas.
I love what you said about the wounds and the purpose behind them. By HIS wounds we are healed.
Happy Sunday to you, L &J. Hope you are having a great weekend!
i literally was JUST thinking about you! I was hoping you were getting spoiled
today. You are an amazing mom and I would be there in a heart beat with these
bites if I could!

ANOTHER fantastic COTTER creation! Thanks for sharing. I do love this post Lindsay about "mental injury" and the way you reframe it to making us seek God. AWESOME!
You and your mother are gorgeous. Wow.

You will overcome this, wanna know why? Because you are MORE than good enough!
You are amazing. Your heart, your spirit, your soul. Rest in those little

Man i have mental injuries all the time! I dont know if it's a girl thing, probably not, but i feel like its nonstop with the 'im not pretty/thin enough..." thats always beating me up. its tough to silence your own head...you'd think it would be easy! but honestly it's nice to know other people feel the same way. that actually helps...so, great post! you're awesome! :)
Great post! We're all worth it to overcome mental injuries. Positive thinking is my favorite thing!
Those sound SO AMAZING! Like a PB-banana-jam sandwich, but less messy :D
Haha so this is going to sound kinda weird (and hilarious if you are as immature as I am!) but I LOVE your ball recipes...every single one I see looks amazing and I think I have all of them saved. I am definitely going to make some this week.
oh this recipe sounds wonderful!
Beautiful picture of you and your mom and the recipe sounds great! As for the "mental injury"...well, I've never thought of it quite that way before, but that's exactly what it is. You're absolutely right...as long as we don't accept how God created us, those "injuries" won't heal.
Those little balls sound delicious!! And I love the picture of you with your mom :D
Hum... I just wrote a blog about this... great minds think alike! :)
I love that photo of you and your mom - beautiful! You know I needed this post. :) I love your approach, thinking of it as a mental injury. I definitely have kept myself on the injured list for far too long. I need to take your lead and find some peace withing rather than continuing to be hard on myself. Thanks for this post, Linds. It's one I'll bookmark for a good reminder. And this version of healthy bites sounds delicious! Animal crackers? Yes, please!
Those look yummy!
Also, I love the message at the beginning. It's exactly what I needed to read at this very moment :)
I'm so glad Lisa. Its nice to know we here for each other. Hope you had a
great mother's day!

I've been dealing with my mental injury today, and this really showed me that I don't need to worry about it. I need to let it go, and ask God to help me heal. My past history of an eating disorder really gets at me sometimes, and I HAVE to remind myself that I am beautiful the way I am. I DON'T need to eat this or do that just because someone else does. I NEED to be happy in my own skin. Tonight I am going to pray to God for him to guide me on the right path to loving myself, so that I can love him and others fully with an open heart.
Thanks for this post, Lindsay. :)
I did at my sister in law's house. Yucca, pork, with rice and beans ;)
I love this. I really needed this tonight as I'm struggling with body image again and I feel like I am causing myself mental injury (as you put it) by beating myself up incessantly. So, thank you for that, yet again.
that is absolutely beautiful Katie. I will praying for you as well. Embrace that
skin you are in!

Lindsay, your posts seem to say the right things at the right time for me when i need them the most! in fact, we all need to stock up on some band-aids for our mental wounds <3
Your blog is a breath of fresh air. Your post really struck a cord with me. I am someone who has really struggled with being "enough". What really is enough anyway? I don't think I will ever know. What I do know is that God has more in store for all of us.
A great song to remind us that we are MORE: http://youtu.be/IwtcwQwgdsA
A verse to affirm just that: Psalm 139:13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
PS Your list is growing... I'm adding myself to uninjured :)
I think I've read this about 5 times today! That means I really really liked it and definitely needed to hear it. Especially this week/leading up to this weekend. Reminds me alot of yoga philosophy! Love the bites- yum!
the cherry bites look GOOD! I may have to ask for a special order soon, just because.
and NOW I am emailing you my real comment. <3
happy (pup!) mother's day!
I completely understand...the mentally injured list is not a fun place to be. Wishing you the strength to stay in this positive mode...YOU totally got it! Happy new week Linds!
Hugs
Katie : )
You are the BEST Lindsay!! I love that you write posts like these that speak to so many people!! You are such an inspiration and I'm so happy your mind is healing:)
Man you are a GENIUS Linds! Those bites look PERFECT! And you and your momma are gorgeous:)
i think i said this in my mind at least 5 times while running today, haha. I
know you can relate. love you friend!

i LOVE the idea of a mental injury! well not mental injuries themselves obviously, but i never thought of them like that! I DEFINITELY used to have a severe mental injury and I still do a bit.. Im always hard on myself whether I try to be or not!
What a beautiful picture of you and your mom! It can be so hard to recover from mental injuries, because unlike physical ones, they can stick with us for years and years after we THINK we've healed.
love the picture of you and your mom and love that you have overcome some of our mental "crap". life is too short for it and we must move past :) your balls look delish and love the strawberry protein powder mixed in.
those cherry bites look way good! i am going to have to make some of those!
This post was so timely for me. I was feeling hurt and upset yesterday and then felt guilty for feeling that way. Then, I remembered that it is okay to have those sorts of feelings. God wants us to embrace what we feel - and then turn it over to him to move past it. I actually pre-wrote a post about it already. Love how often we are on similar wavelengths. ;)
gorgeous pic of you and your mom!!!
And I totally agree!! I am definitely healing from a mental injury- but it is a PROCESS! It is probably going to take me a while, but the point is to never stop moving forward!! Even if it is one baby step at a time, right?!!!! And hopefully some days are a few bigger steps!!
that recipe sounds delicious!!!!!!!!1
Happy mushiness to you! Love that you made your little Healthy Bites with gf animal crackers! Cuuuute!!
So glad you wrote about mental injuries. A LOT of people have gone through them, or are going through repairing the injury(ies). They're real and powerful. I'm working on mine right now and it's hard and sometimes painful, but
that definitely makes us stronger than ever before. :)
I had a dream that you me and Dorry were hanging out and woke up in the best mood....now I know why:)
Wonderful post! Props to you for addressing this. I think everyone deals with mental injury but most of us just try to ignore it or fake it. But you are right it is okay, and it is important to address it and not just bottle it up. I will forever believe that running is 99% mental. Thanks for the receipe and have a great week!
yes, for sure! a slow steady process but oh so worth it, right? these steps
make the healing process more doable and stronger. I like that!

These past few years I've done a LOT of contemplating about my mental injury. Each day I surrender a little more and embrace who I am and who I am not. And accept that all my flaws make me imperfectly perfect. :) You and your mom are so beautiful!
You are so wise. It took me years to deal with a mental wound from my teenage years. I kept beating myself up mentally about it and really did feel like I wasn't good enough and didn't deserve good things to happen to me. Somehow I realized that there was nothing I could do about a past situation and slowly I was able to move on and repair. It was a great learning lesson for me in life and I try not to let myself slip into that kind of thinking again. This is a great post! I'm so glad you are aware and moving on. We underestimate the power of God in our lives. We forget that He knows us well and gives us personalized challenges to help perfect us.
I love your little bites! We're still enjoying the first batch- of course I doubled it and ration them.
That picture of you and your mom is gorgeous.
awww, a little mush is necessary here and there! Love the idea of these berry-cherry bites! Sound amazing!
Great post. I think it is hard too when we are dealing with a physical injury and a mental injury at the same time! Unfortunately that is what I have going on right now. Thank you for the reminder to lean on God, and I also find encouragement from you and all the other uplifting positive bloggers out there. Thanks!

Everything starts mentally. What a gift you have given everyone who is fearful to see inside, embrace their "injuries" and move on in their lives. Great blog baby!!!
I love these posts form you because they are so relatable. All of your "I'm not..." statements are ones that go through my mind at times and hearing that other people experience the same is so affirming. When I was younger I thought I was the only one with self-doubts but it's comforting to hear that others do and are still able to thrive. I think it's so healthy to acknowledge those thoughts so that they don't start to take over. Recognize them and move along. Thanks for a great post!
Beth,
I definitely understand. I know you are training for a race right and this can
be tough. We are human, our bodies can only be pushed so far, and thats ok. Rest
in God's strength and He will show you peace. Hugs!

love these little bites, too!

brain around it without feeling pressure on yourself, ya know? So this post is
an ode to healing....to a mental release!

Guessss what I maaaaade today!!! (Only a week after I said I was going to make them:). I used chocolate protein powder (because that was the only kind I had), and added coconut (because I have a huge thing of it I'm trying to use:), and they are AMAZING! The husband said he thought they were awesome, and then I told him what was in them, and he said, "I think I liked them better when I thought they were bad for me." hah! Men!;)
I love this. I really needed this tonight as I'm struggling with body image again and I feel like I am causing myself mental injury (as you put it) by beating myself up incessantly. So, thank you for that, yet again.
Great post! We're all worth it to overcome mental injuries. Positive thinking is my favorite thing!
