“Sorteando las grieta entre el ser y el hacer” | Ana Isabel Bustamante | TEDxMedellinMujeres


[Music]
It was two in the morning and I could not
sleep
We have been there for more than nine days
We have been training for more than nine days
the top of the sierra nevada del cocuy
here in colombia and we are already tired
what we were doing was
preparing ourselves for what would be our
first international project reach
the highest point of the continent
American
in that area the coconut and where we were already
we had climbed some of the peaks
snowy
now we needed to climb the peak with
cam this mountain me of 5,200 meters
height and they had already told us that it was
very careful because it has some cracks
very large and deep
the truth I felt comfortable and I felt
intimidated and scared to think about that
On the other hand our partner and friend
rené had to leave the day
previous for personal reasons
so all that’s left is let nico and me
we would be two people joined by a
agreement
Ideally, for this type of
land be our people to
greater security
the fact is that in that insomnia so
horrible I had I kept thinking
in those cracks
I imagined what could happen if I
I fell into one then I started to think that
I’m doing here
better I come back with this cold so
horrible is enough and the few
hours left to rest
they would not help me recover my strength
rather
I felt a huge avalanche me
crushes the head and does not let me sleep
but get ahead of the events without
had happened not only had I
past on the mountain
all my life I had been throwing well
things and by focusing so much on the
worry had lost a lot of
opportunities
fear insecurity and anxiety
they had persecuted throughout life
until one day I started to wonder
when will it be that this will always be
A) Yes
I am ready to do these
things I am good enough
like to do those things that I want
do I really needed to know if I
I was condemned to live like this
Now I want you to ask is
How many times do they make you able to
do something without having started
How many times have you felt fear without having
given the first step
I felt the same way until one day
I started a process of transformation and in
every exit we made
I started to fight against that voice that
it seemed another person inside me and
I started to focus on what was
happening at that moment so with
these 160 tall and these little ones
muscles at each exit I put the
I got boots backpack on his back and
I started taking a step back eight in
occasions it was very complicated because that
voice was screaming at me so loud that I had to
stop to rest to recover the
forces then he breathed and followed another
one step at a time in all this
process manages to identify six actions
that allowed me to build a bridge
between what they were and what needs to be done
and do the first one is that you do not
when I looked at something globally
I was paralyzing then I started
say it in small goals in that
situation in the set the first thing that
said was going to wait until four
in the morning
so I sleep or I’m not going to get up
organize I put the equipment
I leave the tent and when I’m outside
the tent decided and continued to lie me down
2000
the second is that I started to monitor my
language
it turns out that when I talked to other
people or I communicate with myself what
I was doing in a very negative way
I used to use phrases like it is that I am
very nervous
so I started to say sometimes
so nervous or he used to say is that I
I ‘m always wrong
then I started to say sometimes I
mistaken
also the euro had more options for
choose our mind does not know
differentiate if we say something jokingly
or when winning for that the best thing is not to give
reasons why it does not conform
equivocal
the third is to surround ourselves with those people
that inspire us and that help us
do better
those people who have those
characteristics that are what
we want to reach many of them we do not
they’ll let go the easy way
but it is because there is the enormous potential
what we have inside
the fourth is to try again and again
in all the mountains that were many
could not make summit
I had to get back in the worst weather I
I do high altitude sickness and of course
principle of this whole story I felt
much more afraid
the important thing is to focus on that and
give yourself the opportunity to repeat those
experiences or live similar ones for
to learn in fact the fifth one is to enjoy
the process
Many times we are waiting for the
things are exactly as we are
imagining but sometimes it’s good to leave
surprise for what life brings
the many paths can reach the
same goal and the sixth is to celebrate the
blogs
I realized that I was so focused on
those negative things that had me
past that when something good happens in
my life let him go from then
I started saving those moments for more
little ones out in the mountains
we have a high recognition of our
team when we do an expedition or
we finished a journey
sometimes this happens white beans
you can only eat after having
made the crossing
greetings to the winners of the award
[Music]
after making summit in the tolima
he is very happy we always have a
prize that is a very happy thing and another
white beans can only be
eat after having made the crossing
up to 12 to the winners of this
prize
we normally in the mountains what
we load canned because they weigh a lot
we must measure very well what
We carry in the backpack because for more
small that is what they join so that
tons but when the beans
they always have their space at that moment
with out before leaving the tent
nico told me let’s get to where
you say and I felt completely
responsible but in the end I decided I’m going
to get where you want to go and I
remove that enormous pressure that I felt from
climb to the summit
then I started working on my
small goals every time I completed
one I was wondering will be that I can
continue and so we get to the base of the
mountain in front of us is a
huge slope and for I knew that at
end of that slope was the first
crack where instead of petrifying me
what I did was good I’m going to start the
rise and when I got to the beginning the
crack decided if I continue or it hurts
and that’s when I got to the beginning of
the crack
I had a moment of great anxiety because
I could see that there was a thin bridge the
truth about her but I needed
know what version
I was going to cross, I needed to know
who was going to arrive and a couple of cracks
more and a long walk by one of the
most beautiful snowfalls I ‘ve seen me
they took to the summit
I could not believe it and had been able to
understand at last and although fear the
negativity and anxiety are there I am
I who decide to give them power
Now what I want you to do is that
take the small challenges that surrounds you is
of those people who are a model for
you that modify your inner language
that you try again and again if it is
necessary that celebrate achievements and that
enjoy the process crossing that bridge
between what you are and what you want to be and
do so they know you the other side
the slabs
