Hi, Gary, and buen camino!
Well...who knows how you'll feel? That post-camino you is far in the future and unimaginable.
Being open is what im forcing myself to do.
For some people letting go into the flow is liberating, while for others it's destabilizing and reinforces the need to control. Whether it's one or the other are based on the skillfulness and intention behind the letting go.
Because opening doesn't happen by force, but only when the heart feels safe.
So please take care. If you're consciously 'holding your feet to the fire,' and can stay balanced, that's great - all well and good. But do take care that it doesn't become endurance contest with yourself. The opening needs above all to be done from a foundation of kindness, taking into account your unique combination of habits and conditioning. Kindness (internally and externally) is so much about what the Camino is about.
You know yourself and your limits better than anyone. And you'll inevitably understand yourself even better after the Camino. Along the way, if you need to plan or take a few days break from free flow (if you've been hanging out on the edge of your tolerance level, for example) that's definitely
not cheating or doing it wrong.
(Sorry to pontificate, not knowing you at all. But I've learned this lesson the hard way, and so feel moved to share unsolicited advice...)
