I have only done nine days of swimming (in a row) but fuck I’m obsessed. I started barely able to do 50m continuously, and now I can smash out 1800m. All I can can talk about is swimming, and all I think about is when I can next swim, and what drills I’ll do. Bonus points for swimming in an outdoor pool and seeing other cuties enjoying the Australian sun.
Finding a gym with a quality pool was a necessity for me. When I swim I am able to shut the world out in a way that doesn’t seem possible during strength training or regular cardio. Hell, I only feel like I can get through my daily stairmaster routine by distracting myself with videos while simultaneously playing a card game on my phone. (Yes, I know I’m cooked.) Anyways, with swimming I don’t need anything. I just need to focus on my breath and the rhythmic motions of my body - the physical exertion doesn’t distract me. My mind and body are truly in sync when I swim.
go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀
