Hiking in the Himalayas was a dream come true. It was also very challenging at times, like when, at the end of a day when we’d already walked 12 miles, we had to gain another 2000ft of elevation over 2.5 miles. We were already at 9000ft of elevation, and on a dusty, rocky path. During those times, what worked best for me was a kind of meditation technique—I found a rhythm between steps and breathing that I could keep up, often in on one step, out on the next. And I counted my steps, but only up to ten, and then started over. It kept me in the moment, concentrating only on the current breath, the current step.
It’s all about the process
