60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: How Would You Turn a Climbing Obstacle Into an Ally?

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.hellobc.com/places-to-go/vancouver/ " target="_blank">Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p>Maybe like me you’ve asked for help from a friend or loved one and they said, “<i>Tie a knot in the end of your rope and hold on to that</i>.”</p><p>It’s a good bit of help. With enough rope to tie a knot and enough strength to hold on you'll probably be okay. But what if there’s nothing to hold on to?</p><p>I remember being on an <a href="https://www.outwardbound.ca/" target="_blank">Outward Bound</a> mountaineering trip high in the Canadian Rockies with 5 other women. In pairs we were climbing up and then rappelling down the sheer face of a mountain. The guides were far above us and out of sight having climbed beyond a cliff edge to secure the ropes. Caught midway between the top of the cliff edge and the rocky ground far below my partner, with fear in her voice, stammered out: “<i>I can't find anything to hold on to</i>.” Time passed. And then a voice from far above us called down, “<i>Grab it with both hands</i>!”</p><p>I’m here to tell you it worked! My partner found the help she was looking for: inside herself. When you can’t find anything to hold on to, grab it with both hands.  </p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic</i>!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time! <strong>Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and </strong><a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank"><strong>Quarter Moon Story Arts</strong></a><strong> and on </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/diane-f-wyzga-QMSA" target="_blank"><strong>LinkedIn</strong></a>.  <
