Well,the reply to that question is “it depends”. Pedaling is situational. Finding the right pedaling speed (cyclists call it a “cadence”) for the terrain is important, making certain you aren’t wasting energy, and when you should be conserving it. Just like on this long outlandish trip I’ve been on for the last several years,whether I’m doing something that is sapping my energy rather than increasing it, then I need to shift gears and correct my cadence.
That’s where I am now. I’ve shifted gears, and but learning to correct the wicked habits that own slipped back into my life will take some time to undo. As I’ve said all along,it’s ok. It is imperative that I listen to my body (although, now that I’m getting older, and it seems to complain so much more than it used to!) and make certain that when it is telling me that I’m doing something unsuitable,I trust that my behavior needs to change.
Shifting gears, shifting mindset. It’s pretty much the same thing. One of the most important keys to having success while trying to achieve a large-scale dream is continuing to make the adjustments as you depart along. The steps you take at the beginning will not be the same as the ones you take in the middle or at the end. Your gears will shift and your cadence will adjust.
I’ve shifted my gears and now I’m working on finding the correct cadence for this terrain. Things will change again and I’ll make more adjustments when that happens. I know now that it’s OK – encouraged actually – to change things up and not stay the course. Dare to be different, and as they say.
