Last Saturday I had the privilege of hosting a free community wellness surf session, and what a morning it was! ☀️🌊
The weather absolutely turned it on for us, but what stood out most was the conversation.
We started the session with a check-in about wellness and how we look after ourselves, especially during times that can feel a little overwhelming or uncertain. Naturally, surfing came up as one of those things that helps us rinse off stress and come back to the present moment.
But we also talked about the reality that wellness isn’t always easy. Sometimes getting out of bed feels hard enough, let alone going for a walk or a surf 😮💨
One idea that resonated with a lot of us was making things smaller. Instead of telling yourself, “I have to go for a walk,” maybe it’s just, “I’ll take one step.” Instead of, “I’m going for a surf,” I often tell myself, “I’ll just have a rinse” or “I’ll just go for a paddle.” More often than not, once you’re there, the rest takes care of itself 💛
Everyone shared their own experiences and perspectives, which made for some really thoughtful conversations.
All in all, it was a beautiful day and a reminder of how special it can be when people come together to share a few waves and connect with one another!
Thank you to Well Traveller for the inclusion and everyone who came along and made it what it was 💙
