Clunky Flow

As a mountain biker, I can tell you that some days I flow on the trail and other days I feel clunky. Recently I found myself in a crazy good flow state...hitting all the turns with ease and speed.

Then...my front tire suddenly washed out and I was laying in the dirt in an instant. I hopped up uninjured (thanks yoga), found my water bottle in the weeds and rolled away in less than 20 sec.

In a moment I went from flow to clunky. My rhythm was gone, my confidence rattled, and I began to doubt.

Doubt is dangerous when you’re moving fast. Doubt gives birth to more doubt. Doubt changes what you expect. Expecting to hit the next turn with the perfect line and speed is now in question.

The next time you crash...notice the doubt that comes up. No need to run it off...dance with it. It doesn’t rule you when you call it what it is.

Go make your mark!
