ANSWERS REMINDER #3: KNOW YOUR LIMITS
I read an article once on people who do extreme-type outdoors sports—mountain climbers and white water rafters and the like—having what they call a 'bad pain memory'. When at their limits, they will push themselves just a little harder to go a little further, and end up paying the consequences in longer recovery time, and sometimes, with the loss of their life. They usually swear they will never to do it again, but just a few hours later, they’re planning their next excursion—or maybe or just heading straight to the trail with no plan whatsoever.
THIS WEEK'S TIP: There is a point of excess and exhaustion to every activity, and a good part of being responsible for yourself is to know your personal limits, and then actually stopping well before you have reached dangerous levels. Overextending your time, money and obligations are just as bad as overextending your body, for whatever reason.
