    Take into account that Alex Honnold backed out of his first attempt at Free Soloing El Capitan in Yosemite because he knew the conditions weren't right and did it another day. If a badass professional climber is putting his safety first (even if he's crazy enough to do something like a free solo) then you shouldn't feel bad about a mental block.

There was a shocking lack of egos; everyone was just working on their own climbs/puzzles and I got so much help (and no judgment) from people much much better than me. It is the most social, supportive sport ever!

    One of my fav episodes you've ever done. I lost my fiance in 2017 and my father four months after. From that I've gained a fear of driving, heights, flying, among others which i never had before. Yes that comes with getting older and no longer having the fearlessness we had as kids, but its largely due to the pain of the loss and seeing how it affected his parents.I have a fear of anything happening and putting my mother through the same thing.
    But this was a great motivator for me. This year on my 30th birthday I'll be older than my fiance and I want this year to be full of adventures and pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. Love you Michelle, you have 😊been such a big part of my life since the og buzzfeed days

Things that are a lot of work both physically and mentally. It's so inspiring. I've already watched a lot of the Bootcamp videos and the paramedic one. I know she's done ghost hunting, fire academy, paintball and even did a video on training for a pageant. She's so open to new experiences. I wish I was more like her. She jumps right in and works super hard. Super talented girl. Amazing.

    “The focus that I have for the climb, I have no time for fear of heights.” I know he probably didn’t mean it in a deeper way but that kinda hit me in relation to life. You gotta be so focused on your journey that you have so time for fear of failure and the “what if”s.

    • @aurelius8439
      @aurelius8439 3 роки тому +1

      That's really true. Also, when I'm climbing something at my limit and the fear hits, sometimes all it takes is to take a controlled fall to reset. Feel that trust in the gear, adjust the headspace, then shift back into the body and flow through to the send.
