A traditional technique practiced by young shepherds of Ethiopiaโs Banna tribe.
They walk on stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, navigate wetland areas, and stay safe from snakes and predators such as lions and leopards.
It demands strength, balance, and training starting from childhood.
The greatest middle finger you can give modern life is becoming impossible to rush. Look around. Taste the coffee. Finish the conversation. Let impatient people overtake you. Most of them don't even know where they're sprinting.
someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their โinner applauseโ because their body is cheering them on, and i think thatโs the best narrative adjustment ever.

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
