Time to open door 19.

Today was a tough day. But the mind got its victory over the body. 05.15 I went up for lugging the car wheel for almost two hours. In the afternoon a workout at the gym was done. Next step was to do cross country running, so at all three work outs- a great day. but I am exhausted.

I was reading in the Swedish outdoor magazine; ”Ute magasinet” in this nummer it was about skating. The Editor in chief wrote that it is very important to take responsibility by your own and don’t trust a guide. I like to challenge that statement. I think a educated and skilled and experienced guide will know more than most of us. But it is important to check the guides skills and experience, that is your responsibility in such a case.  So whenever using a guide you always should check the guides knowledge.

Get yourself a guide to relay on…

I also have read a good book about leadership under stress. Something that a part of the outdoor activities as a guide, or a practitioner. We  all got different abilities to handle situations under stress. But from a leadership perspective, the ones with grounded self-confidence and by worked moral and ethical values will handle this type of situations in a better way. There is also mentioned a capacity called ”sensational seeking” this is a character that will strive for to find dangerous or challenges situations. Normally this will not be good leaders under stress. So you have to got a stable inner compass to be good of handling stressed situation. You can also train your ability by meditation and relaxing exercises. I will write more about this..

Secure to have a stable inner compass…..

And today some old music..

See ya tomorrow..
