We can transfer the thinking of a successful mountaineer to any area of endeavor, whether it is business or arts.
Ueli Steck, a climber who holds records in speed climbing on the mountains like the Eiger, Matterhorn, Grandes Jorasses.
He said…”If you don’t relax, you will never be fast”
I like what you quote here ”If you don’t relax, you will never be fast” a great reminder to all that we need to take a pause to keep going.
absolutely. It is visible when you move fast forward. Stressed body misses the concentration on the goal, and you lose balance, you lose speed and eventually… joy
give yourself a pause
Trust me, I’ve learned the hard way what happens when I try too hard and go too fast and don’t take a few minutes to slow down and relax. I really suffer for it when I do, so I’ve learned to pace myself.
A good quote to remember.
I love the quote mainly because I can relate to it. I try to do one thing everyday that is real, slow and not connected to my goals. Have also found that when I get back to work, my focus is more afterwards because of this specific task I did to slow down.
