I also like "letting go of the post" A concept I gleaned from the first season of Survivor. I hadn't followed it, don't watch it but relatives were watching it and so I did - there were three contestants left. The challenge was to move around on pylons keeping one had on the center post at all times, if you let go of the post, you lost; whoever was left touching the post won the challenge. Early in the game, Richard, the one who went on to win, let go of the post, raised both hands and backed away. I have often thought back to that, letting go of something to see what happens, rather than just hanging on and hoping nothing knocks me out.
