I M letting myself cool slowly, so the pressure tempers me instead of cracking me.

Wisdom

Steel is not made hard by heat alone. Cooled too fast, it shatters. It is the slow, controlled cooling that turns brittle metal into a blade that holds an edge. How you come down from the heat matters as much as the heat. Do not rush your own recovery into a crack.

Carry It

Give yourself one slow, deliberate recovery today after something hard, instead of forcing yourself straight back under load.

Ask Yourself

Are you letting yourself temper properly, or slamming yourself back under before you have cooled?
