#66 Pushing Your Limits and Discovering Yourself with Kilian Jornet
When was the last time you were completely alone?\xa0\xa0Not alone by modern standards, but truly alone - with no mobile phone or outside influences providing information to your brain. Can you think of a time? Global icon, prolific mountain runner and guest on this week\u2019s episode, Kilian Jornet believes that it is only when you take away the storm of information, that you can discover what your true priorities are. And for him, the mountains are the tool to do just that. Not only do they allow him to explore the beauty of nature, they allow him to discover himself. He explains that by pushing his body to its limits, all the masks that he wears in everyday life are removed and he is able to find out who he really is.\n\xa0\nKilian and I discuss the benefits of solitude, failure and visualisation. We delve into Kilian\u2019s amazing feat of climbing Everest twice in one week and talk about how immersing oneself in a challenging situation can be a form of mediation. Finally, Kilian shares some brilliant tips to help us all connect with ourselves and live our best lives.\xa0\xa0I found Kilian\u2019s single-minded drive to live the life he wants to live truly inspiring \u2013 I hope this conversation inspires you too.\xa0\n\xa0\nShow notes available at\xa0drchatterjee.com/66\nFollow me on instagram.com/drchatterjee/\nFollow me on facebook.com/DrChatterjee/\nFollow me on twitter.com/drchatterjeeuk\nDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
