Control is a lie.
The best we can hope for is that we can keep it together for whatever comes our way.
It’s like when you know you’re about to fall. To mitigate injury we need to relax and go completely limp - that’s operating from our instinct. But we don’t trust instinct so instead we try to control our fall by tensing up and contracting. That’s how we get hurt.
Leaning in, breathing and loosening our grip keeps us nimble, flexible, quick, resourceful. It allows us to keep it together for whatever comes our way.
