Emotion Strength Training

An athlete’s capacity to handle physical pain is pretty large… But how is our capacity to handle emotional pain? How often do you let yourself FEEL emotions?

For the last 7 months I had the honor of coaching over 90 different kids ages 9-15 from around the Basque area of Spain. And WOW, did they teach me just as much as I taught them.

The way of nature… to do less.

Been spending time in nature, and it has me thinking… What would growth look like by doing less? In nature it always seems that with the right conditions, what wants to grow, naturally grows.
