The problem is your beliefs dictate your actions and right now you have faulty belief systems. If you believe it is 80 degrees outside it will dictate your actions of what you wear. If you believe road turns, your actions are going to be driven by your beliefs and you will turn. Your beliefs dictate your actions.

You need to understand myth from reality otherwise following your inner knowing may not be effective. Your beliefs will be dictating your actions and confining and limiting what you do with messages from your inner knowing. There is a way around this without having to realize all of things that you believe are true that are really just myths.

Be flexible in your behavior. Don’t let your beliefs of what can and cannot work, or what you should and shouldn’t do, get in way of what your inner knowing is telling you to do. Be open to your inner knowing telling you to do things that are not within your comfort zone or telling you to do what makes sense to you.

Back pain in UK is biggest cause of sickness from work, so why are we not more proactive about it? (It's costing us billions),

I would suggest figures are similar in other westernised countries.

In UK especially it's a constant battle. Many firms don't give even basic manual handling training despite fact it's been a legal requirement for many years.

What about your workplace, what type of job do you do, What kind of training have you received to help you do it safely?

In end, it doesn't matter what you do because I can nearly guarantee that whatever it is, somehow your posture, way you sit, stand and work doesn't help your back. (And I'm not even thinking of weights you're lifting constantly)
