The 25 Essential Tools of Excellence: 22: A Wall and A Ball

Man is a generalist. No harm in that: he/she is remarkably adept at adapting and to enhance this process has created a batch of tools which allows him/her to perform to the highest levels.

When push comes to shove, what are the essential Tools of Excellence?

22: A Wall and A Ball

This isn't about exercise, nor fresh air. But it is about getting re-grounded.  Overload, mixed and multiple priorities push the brain very easily into fight or flight mode.

Re-assure it with some simple, easy rhythm. Bounce after bounce. Meditative. Flow state. Breathing calming. Higher brain knowing what to do.

Think Steve McQueen (once again) in the cooler.

Get the ball now. Identify the wall. Soon.
