The Edge demands acceptance. Open yourself to the experience and feel the pain. Ignoring it, distracting yourself from it, those tricks will not work. Acknowledge the pain and keep going. Don't hide. Face it.
There's more to The Edge than pushing beyond perceived physical limits. We face barriers in every aspect of our life. We face the edge every time we encounter a situation that makes us want to retreat to a comfort zone. Tolerating ambiguity or overcoming the lizard brain draws on the same resiliency and grit marshaled to get through that last mile or finish that last rep.
That resiliency is built on a firm belief in your ability to achieve the goal. Assertive boldness grows from a willingness to calmly confront and accept fear.
