INJURY DEPRESSION | TRENT SHELTON

About this video

Shelton shares his experience recovering from a complete Achilles tendon rupture at age 37, describing how he shifted from depression to growth during his first major injury. He offers five strategies he uses to navigate the mental and emotional challenges of physical injury: changing perspective, creating a new normal, finding positive outlets, adopting a moment-by-moment mindset, and focusing on healing rather than timelines. Shelton emphasizes creating empowering meanings around setbacks rather than viewing injuries only as obstacles.

Key takeaways

• Shift your perspective by asking how an injury might be working for you rather than against you, creating meanings that serve your growth instead of feeding depression
• Create a new normal by accepting that old routines may not return and establishing new practices that serve your soul during recovery
• Win individual moments rather than focusing on distant outcomes, as stacking small victories leads to progress and prevents discouragement about long timelines
