This pain and discomfort will pass.

Discomfort has a quality that few unpleasant things share: it does not require your cooperation to end. You do not have to do anything correctly. A surge burns off, tissue repairs, a bad night gives way to a morning, and none of it needs supervision.

This is worth knowing on the days when it feels like a task you are personally failing at.

The body has a long, undramatic record of returning to baseline without being asked. That has happened for you more times than you could ever list.
