Themes and topics: Identifying physical and mental limits through breath loss and other physiological indicators Backing off from the edge to recruit skills, breathwork, and other resources Playing at the edge mindfully to stretch limits and enter a flow state for enhanced learning Recognizing edges manifest differently for everyone based on personality and situation Supporting others who are at their limit without being overbearing Managing emotions like fear, anger, and vulnerability when hitting a limit Finding edges in various areas of life like work, relationships, health and wellness Expanding the "window of tolerance" through challenging comfort zones in a safe way
