“Keep your core tight.” Garrett said to me as we were on the second day of our decent from Mount Everest Base Camp. His words were in reference to my physical being – brainstorming ways to go downhill without killing my knees.
What he didn’t know, is those words came at a time when my own thoughts were bouncing around the ideas of sticking to my own moral’s, my own heart. To me. Each of us has a different path to follow in life; and what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another. We only know what is best for ourselves. What rings true and pure to our hearts – and to follow this isn’t always the easiest path, but it is the truest.
I think of this often as I’m walking or walking the dogs – keep my core tight, keeping my posture up, relieve the lower back pain…but it also reminds me of staying true to myself. Follow what I believe in. Do what makes my heart happy.
Keep your core tight.
