Psychology of Reaching Base Camp
You can be fit and fail. You can be unfit and succeed. The difference is often mental. Everest trekking is uncomfortable. Your ability to suffer determines your success.
Expect to be cold, tired, and have a headache. If you expect luxury, you will quit. If you embrace the struggle, you will thrive on your Mount Everest expedition.
Don't think about Base Camp. Think about the next tea house. Think about the next rock. Breaking the massive goal into tiny chunks makes the Everest summit approach manageable.
When you are gasping for air, tell yourself 'I am strong'. It sounds cheesy, but it works. Negativity drains energy. Positivity fuels the climb.
Your body can go much further than your mind thinks. Shut down the doubt and keep walking.
