Today was the first day back in the water in a month.
Lots of people ask me why I swim in the sea all year around. Lots of people say things like it’s too cold, dark, deep, scary but for me that’s the point.
There are of course health benefits to cold water swimming but for me it’s about those cold dark mornings and the times in my life that things are difficult.
It’s about showing my brain that I can do hard things and get through difficult times even if it maybe for 5 or 60 mins!
It helps clear my mind and focus on just the situation and place that I am in right then.
I know that for some people it can be scary to start new things and overcome the hurdles our minds create. Even with the momentum men’s group I understand how hard it can be to walk into the room initially. I know only to well how hard it is at times to walk into that water!
If you need anything to help you overcome the hurdles or that internal monologue then please reach out.
Maybe I will see you at a momentum event or you can always join me for an early morning swim!
