As a youth, I remember watching Mary Lou Retton win the gold medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics for a perfect vault. At the time, I was actively participating in gymnastics and working hard on my handstands and flexibility. Over the years, I have become less flexible. In this episode, as I reflected on physical flexibility, it made me also ponder the extent of my mental/emotional rigidity.
Note: I mentioned a physical injury to my hand that could be triggering to some.
