- Prepare yourself for a long and difficult journey
- Expect that weariness will come, along with exhilaration
- Put one foot after the other
- Allow the mind to work through your various concerns
- But do this in a way that allows you to release them
- Focus on your movement
- Don't put too much pressure on yourself
- Beware of false summits
- Recognize others who are on the same journey
- Repeat if things begin to feel too flat
