Cool! Or should i say ridiculously envigorating?
Just do it!
When i was a kid of about 11 or 12 i would always watch the "polar bear" swim every January 1st. I live in Canada, so it's usually pretty cold -- not beach weather anyway. Every year i would say out loud -- i'm doing it next year! And each new year i would bail out...
I am now 47 and my first Polar bear swim was 5 years ago. It was shockingly cold and my feet felt funny for hours after -- but i did it! And it was worth it!
I have since only done it one more time, but even then i felt the surge of enthusiasm for taming my lazier instincts or fear or whatever it is that self-holds us back.
You can do it! You will do it! Or not... the choice is up to you. But choosing to dominate your fear will release it and put a big smile on your life :)
plus, i'm gonna have to plan for 5 x 100% upgoats -- or YOU are!!!
@thedamus - it makes such a huge difference, doesn't it!!!
If you're really adventurous, try jumping in a frozen lake afterwards :) !!!
AHHHH! You're not letting me out of this easily.
Alright, I take your challenge @thedamus . I will try it. But we have to make a bet!
How bout 5 x 100% upvotes? (i think mine is worth about $0.44) i'll offer challenge for next 2 weeks ;)
@thedamus - Alright - DEAL! Two weeks from today, the 31st of July 2017 .
F*******ck !!!
One small step for @elenahornfilm, and one giant leap for conquering fear!
I'll make sure i've got a full load on August 14th...I'm sure you've got this ;)
Cheers, from @thedamus
@thedamus - today is the day! I found a place.
I really don't know if I can do it.
