🏂 🌟 Do The Thing 🌟 🏂
This is your message to do the thing you’ve always wanted to do, even if it scares you and your heart is racing.
It had been 12 years, almost to the day, that I had tried snowboarding for the first time. That first year I got out a handful of times, and really enjoyed it. But over the years I got busy and had no one to go with. Which even resulted in me selling my gear a year or two ago.
But here’s the wild thing… I really did want to get back out there and learn - even at 33. I came across a lady on Instagram who learned to snowboard in her 40’s … and my brain went “if she can do it at 40, I can do it at 30”.
So, I looked around for gear - because I was serious and I am serious about learning. This is something I enjoyed in my 20’s, but wasn’t very good at it. And I wanted something for myself. Some place I could go and enjoy, something I could do with friends or solo.
With gear in hand, I booked a lesson… because a refresher and learning more is so important.
My heart was racing leading up to the scheduled time… but I soon learned that I did in fact remember quite a bit. - did I fall getting off the chair lift… yup. Did I come home with bruises and a sore body? - definitely yes. Was it worth it? YES!
I had a great time getting out and starting to learn all over again.
This is your sign to do the thing you’ve been wanting to do, even if it scares you. On the other side of fear, is often what you want.
I’m getting out at least once more this season, and I’m so excited to be going with friends this time.
