#224: I tweaked my back (again). Here's how I'm moving through it.

Monday morning, 6am, halfway through my workout, I lost my core brace on an RDL and felt my back tweak. Instantly I knew: frustration, fear, anger, and the urge to shut down and numb out for the rest of the day. Sound familiar?In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly what happened in real time as I navigated a back injury mid-week, mid-momentum, with a packed schedule and a big day ahead. I share the full spiral that hit me, the reframes I used to shift out of it, and the powerful breakthrough I received sitting in a cold tub that literally brought me to tears.This one is raw, honest, and still unfolding as I record it.Key Takeaways:You don't have to feel 100% to show up 100%. That's the practice.When life throws a curveball, the quality of your life is determined by how you respond, not by the curveball itself."How might this be happening for me?" is the most powerful reframe you can sit with.The desire to numb out is a signal that a breakthrough is waiting on the other side. Don't numb out, tap in.Your body is always communicating. Pain is not failure, it's a signal that your body is working exactly as designed.You have everything you need within you. Stop outsourcing your own knowing.Still healing, still in it, still sharing the journey with you.👉 View details on Iceland Retreat: https://www.intothewildwithin.com/iceland-mar2026 👉 Buy Cosmic Breadcrumbs now on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4r5r4h4👉 Join the FTO WhatsApp group chat: https://www.joshuadeanchurch.com/ftogroup
