Relax To Move Fast.
Constant tension leads to fatigue. A relaxed muscle is faster to contract than a tense one. Relaxation minimizes co-contraction — your opposing muscles working against each other.
Now of course, we are talking about the body, but we are also mentioning the mind.
And do your best to not take things personal. In the end, it’s not really about you. How people feel about you, what they think about you… those are things that are out of your control. In reality, that equation started long before you met them, and in most cases that equation will continue long after you’re gone. Just do your best, focus on your path, and let the other pieces fall into place.
As always,
Stay warm.
