The last few days Iāve been dealing with sciatica ā sharp pain running from my lower back down my leg.
Not the āoh thatās uncomfortableā kind⦠the kind that reminds you how much you take movement for granted.
As someone who trains, coaches, and preaches consistency, this stuff is humbling.
But itās also a reminder of a few important things:
⢠Training isnāt about being invincible
⢠Rest and rehab are part of the process
⢠Listening to your body is a skill, not a weakness
Iām still moving. Still showing up. Just adapting ā mobility work, gentle movement, breathing, and patience (the hardest part š
).
If youāre dealing with pain, setbacks, or frustration right now ā youāre not broken.
Youāre just in a different phase of the journey.
Forge isnāt just built in the hard roundsā¦
Itās built in how you respond when things donāt go to plan. š„
