Keep it fun. Don't take it too seriously. At the same time, when you do feel inspired, take it seriously, too.
Chris SharmaI'm a rock climber. I really specialize in doing first ascents, and finding new routes outside, as opposed to doing competitions. I focus my energy on going out into nature and finding these new climbs. For me, it's not just this athletic pursuit - it's a really creative, artistic thing of finding these amazing formations out in nature, and mixing that with this high level of athleticism.
Chris SharmaI think I'm a pretty creative person. I love building things. I love working on my house. Landscaping, stuff like that.
Chris SharmaI have done a fair bit of meditation practice, but I think through climbing it's definitely an easier way for me to tap into that mental state of being present and in the moment, very in tune with your body. But not in an intellectual way. Just really responding to the moment, where you don't have time to think.
