Dealing with the Inevitable Setback
I have to admit since the end of December when I began my journey to regain my health I haven’t experienced any set backs that have seemed too large. I am a big believer that most of the blogs I read about setbacks are people justifying excuses and trying to make themselves feel like, "It’s OK they ate like crap for 6 weeks straight and forgot where their gym membership was."
It is how we choose to act in times of adversity that determines who we are. As far as my health I just entered that period. I didn’t listen to my body, went too heavy on rack dead lifts and hurt my lower back really badly, coupled with the already herniated disks this is not good. I think the hardest part about dealing with any injury is the unknown time factor. Not knowing when it will feel good enough to get going again. I guess my point is physical injuries are probably the most difficult to deal with mentally. We’ll see if I’m right and deall with the setback the way I believe most people should if they truly desire to be healthy.
