One of the most important tools for a skate boarder is grip tape or more commonly called anti-slip tape. You will see similar applications on ramps or parking garages 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 internal grip tape. When I listen to my intuition and maintain my boundaries, I stay in contact with the balance in my life, and when I do not, 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 a part of life, but the most important thing is how we recover. If you are regularly losing contact, do a quick mental check of your boundaries to ensure you have grip tape in the right places.
