The Recoil Of Putting Your Heart And Soul Into Something
The Critical Moments After Culminating Events That Most People Mess Up
Today was a big moment for me.
I spent 2 hours giving a presentation on a significant project that I have been working on for nearly a year...
Hundreds of hours of research...
Developing ideas and concepts with clients...
Culminating in what I believe is the beginning of a decade-defining scientific project.
And I gave the presentation...
To one of the harshest and most critical individuals that I know.
They are a wonderful human being...
But tough.
I put my absolute best into this...
I have dedicated my heart and soul to this project...
And I put everything I had into this presentation.
The result...
I do not have an answer for yet.
In situations like these...
You do not get answers immediately.
There are large things to consider...
Questions which have to be carefully formulated...
And plans that have to be put into place.
It is not something that is just “finished” overnight.
Whenever you pursue something that is truly world-changing...
There are no shortcuts.
No one who will make things easier.
There is only an extreme level of dedication that you must put into it...
Which may not pay off...
But you have to give it absolutely everything anyway...
Because if you do not...
Then no one will give you the time or day for your thoughts.
As you pursue these types of things in life...
What the Sage seeks...
There will be culminating events...
That marks a peak that you must dedicate yourself to.
This was one of those peaks.
And when you do that at the highest levels, you are physically capable of...
There is a recoil.
It is like running a sprint for your life...
Then, getting slammed by a train going in the opposite direction.
It hits you harder than you think is possible...
And it can knock everything out of you.
If you do not have these moments...
Then you are not truly pursuing something at the highest of levels.
These types of culminating events are critical to attain our potential in life.
However...
In the aftermath of these types of events...
There are critical moments...
Which most people mess up completely.
What is so important in these critical moments...
You need to recover from the recoil.
When you are truly putting everything you absolutely have into something...
You will be in a weakened state.
My voice has become hoarse.
I lost my appetite.
I will likely pass out early tonight.
But what many people will do in the critical moments after these types of events...
Is they will try to charge forward.
There is a high that comes with hitting these extreme levels...
And many people, after attaining one, are excited for the next one.
So, they start moving toward whatever is next.
That is the moment they mess up.
Do you need to move forward after a culminating moment?
Yes.
But there is a matter of timing that becomes important...
Because of the recoil that occurs.
That recoil you feel is a deep physiological event.
It is caused by a major depletion in energy (Mg-ATP) as well as a buildup of oxidative stress, or stress damage.
This combination is potent in how we feel...
And...
If we try to push forward too quickly...
We actually make this problem worse.
It takes time and proper recovery for the body to both regain the depleted energy and clean up the oxidative stress.
How long?
It depends on how much of yourself you truly put into these culminating events.
The further you push in those moments...
The longer the necessary recovery.
It can take days...
And for some people...
It can even take months to fully recover from these events...
If...
You are actually putting everything into it.
How many people do you know...
Who, when they truly put everything into something...
Take days, let alone weeks, to recover properly?
It is extremely rare...
And there is a cost to failing to recover properly.
You will become worse at every aspect of your life.
That is just how the psychophysiology of it works.
And...
If you continue to push yourself further...
Then the necessary recovery takes longer...
And you will also begin to push yourself into burnout...
Which, in some cases, takes people over a year to recover from fully...
If they recover at all.
What most people fail to understand...
Is that you can get proper recovery...
While still making progress.
They fall into what is called a “false dichotomy,” where they believe their only options are full recovery or full progress...
And that extreme thinking is what causes them to make this critical mistake.
They choose full progress...
And destroy themselves in the aftermath of these culminating events.
The result...
Is that they will end up failing to reach their end goal.
These culminating events are important...
But they are only a step to the greater peak of success.
If you destroy yourself...
You will never reach the peak.
Do not fall into this trap.
Take your time after these types of culminating events.
Savor the moment...
Be grateful that you have made it this far...
Celebrate the successes you have had...
And dive deeply into proper recovery of your body.
The faster you recover...
The faster you can hit the next culminating event...
And do it with the energy required to succeed.
As for me...
I will be taking the next few days...
To get the recovery I need.
I will still be making small progress in everything I do...
But I will not sacrifice my entire being in a fruitless effort to attain something in a way that the human body is incapable of doing.
I always work with my psychophysiology...
Which is why I have come as far as I have as quickly as I have in life...
And...
I have plans to get to more culminating events...
Some significantly greater than this.
