HAS YOUR APPROACH TO FOOD, IN RELATION TO PERFORMANCE, CHANGED OVER TIME?

I’m not celiac, but I notice that if I eat a lot of things made with wheat flour, I don’t feel great. I especially avoid it before bed.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD INDULGENCE AT THE END OF THE DAY?

Intentionality requires slowing down, being curious, and giving thought or feeling to the process. If you apply this tinkering mindset to your learning, you will see failure as a valuable part of learning and improving. In Zen Buddhism, the term shoshin means “beginner’s mind,” referring to the quality of being open and eager to learn without discrimination. Often as beginners, we are more open to possibilities and have no preconceived notions about what we are doing. As we become more expert, we hold prejudices in our minds and become self-critical, making failure a bad thing. Adopting the beginner’s mind, we can welcome failure no matter what stage of learning we are at. Apply this to your climbing, or to your long outdoor pursuits, and see how it can change your perspective, your awareness, and the value of what you love to do.
