This has been one of the best indicators for me. Lately, my pain has been a sharp, needle type pain in my glute medius up near the iliac crest, then that disappeared and a tight, pulled muscle type feeling emerged above that deep like a QL muscle, then that disappeared and there was some pain on the other side in a similar spot, then all that goes and i get an ache in the middle back again like a muscle tightness then sometimes nothing at all (yesterday morning did gardening then went out and visited some nurseries then sat in a cafe for a while with total confidence and very little issue)
Waking up each day, I feel my mind was fixated on "Let's see if there are symptoms there now as thats a sign of improving" and would be the old pattern i'm familiar with in dealing with actual injuries but reading some more of Unlearn your pain, this feeds into the 'focussing on it'
Again, the belief i'm embedding on a daily basis is to trust in the journey and keep doing the work.
