The cliché “it’s the journey, not the destination” couldn’t be more pertinent for mountain athletes. The nature of outdoor sports requires working around weather and environmental conditions. Or whether you are healthy enough or have trained enough to complete an endurance activity. In reality, you can’t control the end result. You can only continue to push forward, learn, apply, take risks, and keep the end goal in your sights.

Prepare for failure (in a good way). It is inevitable that you will run into roadblocks, which is why it is part of creating new habits. The most important thing is not to punish yourself for it. Failures will happen, and each one brings you a step closer to success—but only if you plan for failure by acknowledging it and moving on. Use your superpowers here. Some examples:

•If I miss a workout day, I can do a 30-minute grip strength session at home.

•In three weeks I am going on vacation. I will make sure to take my greens supplement with me to get my daily vegetables in, and will take my traveling hangboard and schedule 10 minutes of finger strength each day while traveling.

Choose one goal that matters. Come up with process goals that align with your values and identity. Identify daily tasks that are easily achievable, that you can improve by 1 percent each day. Plan for failures.
