It’s been a few weeks since i’ve posted something on here. After getting bored with being in pain and resting up, I decided to start digging up the garden. Might as well be in pain doing something constructive than resting. The first couple of days were tough but after that my back actually got less painful and now relatively pain free. Started training again too, nothing heavy but it does feel good though.

I was wondering what pain relief people are taking. For the past two weeks now, off and on, my lower back has been hurting. Some days it’s causing me to wince and curse. Other days it feels almost normal. Last week though, I spent most of the week taking Co-Codamol. Just to function efficiently at work. As I work in Steel Manufacturing in the finishing off department and quality control.

Weird question right? But I'd like to know - what's the actual reason you want to stop letting your back pain dictate how you live? Is it the travel? The meetings? The gym sessions where you're making quiet compromises nobody else can see? Or is it something more personal than that. The moment with your kid you had to mentally prepare for first. The thing you used to do without thinking that now has a whole process around it. The background noise that runs underneath everything, maybe not pain exactly, but the monitoring. Like you're always operating at 90% because the other 10% is somewhere else. Tell me below, what's the real one for you?

Answer the questions below: Q1: When your back feels fine - do you go looking for it? Testing your body and waiting for it to show up? Q2: On a pain-free day, do you feel relief or do you spend the whole day just waiting for it to come back? Q3: Have you built your life around your back and you didn't even notice it happening? How many of these did you answer yes to? If you answered yes to most of these, your body found a way to keep you safe. The pain became something your body learned to produce automatically. Just like it learned to ride a bike or type without looking at the keys. Maybe there's a part of you that might not actually want it to go? Drop your number below. If something felt too familiar -> tell me which one.

Quick question for you guys... I'm building something behind the scenes for the 30-Day Protocol. When you’re doing the sessions (especially in the first few days), what actually goes through your head? I mean literally: – what feels confusing? – what feels unclear? – what you’re unsure about? – moments where you think “am I doing this right?” For example, it could be something like: - “I don’t really feel anything” - “I feel it in the wrong place” - “this feels too easy” - “I’m not sure what I’m supposed to notice” But don’t limit yourself to those - I want your real experience. The more specific the better (even if it sounds simple or obvious). Thank you!!!
