Mental Endurance
🚀 How did I manage to cover 70 miles with 18,000 feet of climbing in just 29 hours? It wasn’t just physical training—it was a combination of Positive Mental Attitude, Active Posturing, and a technique called Illeism (speaking about yourself in the third person). 🏔️🔍 Positive Mental Attitude kept me focused on what I could do, not on the discomfort. When things got tough, I reminded myself of my strengths and stayed solution-focused. When I focused on solutions, and the things I wanted to happen they got bigger. Same is true for problems, and the things I am trying to avoid.. speak to what you want and don't give power to the things you do not. 💪 Active Posturing—standing tall and maintaining an open, strong body language—boosted my resilience and helped me push through mental and physical fatigue. It’s amazing how much energy your posture can give you. I walked with hands on hips at times and could feel the energy raise in my body. In the picture you can see me in a victory pose, feeling powerful I stand powerfully, but when I don't feel powerful I can still stand with power, and bring about some confidence! 🗣️ Illeism helped me stay objective. By saying, “Chris Norris can handle this,” "Chris Norris is strong" and "Chris Norris is the type of guy that finishes things" I distanced myself from pain and doubt, which made it easier to stay in control. It also works to bring about identity based actions, and habits, as I form in my mind the type of person I am and want to remain, so the difficult actions become less difficult. These strategies don’t just apply to endurance events. They’re life skills for overcoming everyday challenges. What can you take away from this to apply to your life? Let's talk about it!

The coolest thing about these tools is they get bigger each time we use them, and stay on top of the tool box... I use to have to search around for my breath, and now it is sitting right up top!
ECR addition
Anyone ever try incorporating an acupressure mat into their ECR? A little bit of embrace the suck and you can stack it with diaphragm breathing and mantras. Really helps to relax the muscles and get some endorphins going in the morning! https://a.co/d/0vFAW21

@Justin Saenz this is the second time I am seeing one of these in the last 48 hours. Someone sent me information on it calling it a Shakti Matt... looks like a bed of nails to me?! They swore by it for their lower back pain. How is it working out for you? How long have you used it?
