Episode 11: Overcoming Injuries with a Positive Attitude with JR Zwingraf

35m · Travel Food Yoga · 04 Mar 14:00

Today's epiosode is about overcoming injuries with a positive mental attitude. I interviewed my boyfriend, JR Zwingraf, who is the expert at overcoming injuries, while maintaining a positive mental attitude. His biggest tip in this episode was to find ways to push through, because nobody is going to get you through this besides YOU. Try new hobbies that are within your limitations, read books, or play phone games. Anything to stay busy. Look for supplemental insurance programs such as Aflac or check out programs through your employer that you may not be aware of (HR is the best resource for this). If you have a family, build up a plan before your surgery and work out how you're going to get help from family and friends to cover daily tasks you know you won’t be able to do. You can follow JR on social media. You’ll find him on Twitter, @jerskiez, or follow him on Facebook for his inspirational and dirty memes, JR Zwingraf. Until next time, think of something positive that happened to you today.
