English term or phrase: pushed myself away from the doorjamb
How would you translate "I pushed myself away from the doorjamb"?

Explanation:
In literary texts, we should follow the style, both in English and Persian. Here, it is better to ignore the word 'myself' to make the sentence more natural in Persian.
