You don't need to get better at everything you do

Why do we take the things we love and turn them into another performance? I used to surf with one goal: get off the longboard, move to shortboard, progress as fast as possible. It took two broken noses, a burnout, and two years away from the water to realize I'd been chasing an image of myself instead of actually enjoying being in the ocean.In this episode, I explore:How we bring our performance mindset into the things that are supposed to heal usWhy my body was sending me signals I refused to read (including two broken noses from the same board)The "gentle cult" of progression culture and what it took to finally see it from the outsideWhy letting go of the goal and choosing fun felt like the most rebellious thing I've done💬 "My body had been sending all the signals in the world. I just wasn't listening."If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear it.🔗 Read the full blog post: 🔗 Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/the.bold.beginner/
