From the Ted Talk by Adie Delaney: An aerialist on listening to your body's signals
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Over my career as an aerialist, I've learned to listen to those sings from my body, whose most imrtnpaot job is to keep me alive. This visceral sensation of fear can be part of the fun. Why do you think we go on rlleor coasters, wtach hoorrr movies or in my case, fly through the air? But it will only be fun if we have choice in those moments. Those who enjoy horror movies do so when they know they can look away. When I swing through the air to take the hdans of a partner high up in a criucs tent, ultimately, I have a choice of releasing if I trust that person to catch me. Listening to these signs is an incredibly important life skill, and not just for adrenaline junkies like me.

Original Text
Over my career as an aerialist, I've learned to listen to those signs from my body, whose most important job is to keep me alive. This visceral sensation of fear can be part of the fun. Why do you think we go on roller coasters, watch horror movies or in my case, fly through the air? But it will only be fun if we have choice in those moments. Those who enjoy horror movies do so when they know they can look away. When I swing through the air to take the hands of a partner high up in a circus tent, ultimately, I have a choice of releasing if I trust that person to catch me. Listening to these signs is an incredibly important life skill, and not just for adrenaline junkies like me.
