The Lighter Side Of Falling

When a skiing instructor's students are about to fall, he has them shout out "YES!" with a great grin on their face.

"It's amazing how lightly you fall compared with a skier who's trying to look good and is grimacing with tension as the unwelcome tumble approaches. It's also amazing how this childlike attitude toward falling helps prevent injuries, which are so often the result of tension in the muscles." - Ken Blanchard

Bracing for a crash - or in relationships, worrying - can cause more pain than protection. Sometimes it's just worth smiling and enjoying the experience.
