One of the most important accessories to a skate boarder is
grip tape. It’s the rough surface on top of the board. You also see it in parking garages and such
where there are level transitions where someone could slip and fall in wet
conditions. No matter the application, grip tape has the same purpose, to help
you maintain contact with the respective surface.
I look at intuition and boundaries as types of internal grip
tape. When I listen to my intuition and
maintain my boundaries, I stay in contact with the balance in my life. When I don’t, I bust my ass on some emotional
or mental level. The associated soreness is a reminder that I need to get a
grip.
Slipping and falling are parts of life. The most important thing is how we
recover. If you’re regularly losing
contact, that’s a sure sign you need to get a grip.
