By all means. The concept is an eastern approach that I first picked up when studying yoga. Unlike the western approach to pushing into pain, the Yogis suggest that you find your current point of capacity...that is where all your neuro-physiological tensions hold you. Relax there, at all the points where you sense the tension in your mind, body and emotions. Doing so you will find you can go a bit further. I believe you can use this philosophy in all endeavors.
