TBP 302: The Value in NOT Sending Your Projects
In this episode, Coach Alex Stiger and I reflect on the important lessons and mindset shifts we’ve gained after NOT sending projects. Whether it’s a renewed motivation to train and grow as a climber or the realization that we just don’t want to try that hard anyore, we go through the gammut of what we have experienced as a result of not sending. Alex asked her clients about their own learnings from not sending and shares them in this episode.
Alex normally spends a lot of time each year on one big climbing objective, and this year was one of the years when she did not send her objective. She’s taking some time to think about how she wants to move forward in her climbing and whether her current approach is still working for her, so this episode is partly an attempt on her part to sort out how she feels about climbing right now. In the meantime, though, she has been thinking a lot about what not sending has provided her with.
Some Things We Talked About
- What deconstructing that attachment to sending can do for our climbing and life
- Tools that have helped Alex and her clients start approaching possible failure with curiosity, confidence, and even some joy vs avoidance, anxiety, and dread
- Fact vs. fiction about what the experience of sending/not sending actually does to us
