How do you prevent stopping completely with exercising after a sporting injury?

I would say it from my theoretical perspective…

That when a person has a sporting injury, they can section the healing process in 30 days before doing exercises again.
10+10+10 =30

It can vary person to person but here is the general idea:

In first 10 days, they are in complete physical and mental rest for better healing. Stretching the muscles and bones for flexibility, bandages, all the aid tools. Eating a lot for better strength and endurance. Lots of sleep counts too! And just forget about exercises! Taking the time, being kind to oneself during the healing of the injury.

In the second 10 days, the person would prepare mentally to get in touch with the present but not associating with daily tasks. This can be done by meditating, calming the nervous system, some light somatic exercises and just being in tune with their mind, body and their surroundings.

In the third 10 days, the person would prepare a routine or journal the exercise plans to avoid blankness, confusion or demotivation. The person would start stretching and activating the muscles to prepare them for exercises again. To note, they can start with sitting, low-impact exercises for short time e.g. 10 to 20 minutes. It is up to the individual if they want to do daily, weekly or some days after. As they are slowly progressing towards building the mind and body for exercise, not only they are recovering from the injury to do exercises again but also developing kindness to oneself and taking some time away from daily sweat.

And once the 30 days are over, the person is recovered (generally depending on the severity of the injury) and can start doing exercises again.

Completely from my own perspective and I think it will be a very mindful approach.
Most important thing to note:
Forget about exercise or even body image when injured. Be kind and show compassion to your body! Being injured and taking rest is not a failure! It is NOT the end of the world!
