Courage isn’t about bravado. It’s about staying calm.
Li Karlsen knows a lot about staying calm under the most inhospitable conditions. One of the most accomplished freedivers in the world, Li is a record-holding champion at holding her breath and diving hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.
I wanted to ask Li what freediving has taught her about managing stress and fear. It turns out the lessons she’s learned in the ocean work just as well above the water. Something as simple as changing the way we breathe can have a huge impact on our own fear and stress.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.
