External factors such as temperature, audience participation, number of donations, frequency of communication, and reception might change our mindset. A sunny trail run that hits a pocket of wintery mix might turn from an enjoyable exploration to a survival event. We might exchange our core question, from where to go, to how to get back to the trailhead. How might we prepare for external factors to alter our focus? A bear encounter during a camping trip might put us on heightened alert, but a fantastic sunset overlooking a mountain lake might be the most tranquil moment of our year.
