Travis Ruskus explains how rock balancing teaches presence and calm. A single breath can stop you from reacting in anger, like firing off an email you'll regret. He sees every failure as a test of what you actually believe in.
A lot of what we do in our daily life is getting caught up in the past or worrying about the future. And if you can just breathe, it's almost like a little poke you give yourself to say, here you are right now. And that alone has allowed me to save a lot of the angry emails that I would write if things weren't working out or something, and just kind of take a breath and just be like, okay, no, this is the moment right now of something didn't go your way. And I believe that every failure is a test to see how much you truly believe in something. And ultimately, with rock balancing, all it is is finding the point within yourself of when you're happy.
