I'm doing 25 things
Went for a surf in Sydney on friday. Didnt catch any waves but did learn how to paddle! Its exhausting. Having a cute instructor made it a bit easier :) got out past the breaking waves and sat on my board and it felt amazing just to be there. Im gonna contact Great Ocean surf tours, cos I fond out they can organise a bus form Melbourne to get you out there. I cant wait till I have friends to go surfing with. I know a few who do but it hasnt happened yet. I was so tired from paddling on friday i could feel breakfast coming back up! I felt like my spirit had been broken but in a good way…like I was being remoulded from weakness into something even stronger. My friend was talking about the concept of finding flow in life, and i definitely feel alot of flow on those rare occasions when Ive caught a wave. even just the fear of going out into the waves is exciting. I think its important to scare yourself.

How I did it: I planned for ages - position, size, colour etc. I tracked down a place with a great reputation and went in beforehand to discuss it. I thought about it for ages and talked to friends about it. Then I locked in a date and did it! I was so nervous but the pain felt amazing and Im just so happy with it. Its not exactly symmetrical but I kinda love it more for not being perfect. It means so much to me and I love the way it looks. I cant wait… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to manly and took a 2 hour lesson. I now know the basics and can stand up. The waves were pretty small but it was a windy day and just getting out far enough to catch a wave was exhausting. I definitely need to be fitter to improve at this. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ive been wanting to do it ever since my hairdresser showed me a photo a year ago but was never quite brave enough. I was a bit worried about how it would go down at the office, too.But with Spring in the air and letting go of other baggage the time felt right. It looks fantastic and lots of people are liking it. No regrets! Read how I did it…

Going really good still. Went for a surf on Friday and got up at 6:30 this morning to go for a swim before work. Have been buzzing from it all day :) even though I was in the slow lane ha ha. Theres a skate park near the pool and Id love if one day I was good enough and brave enough to go skate there.
Im going well on this at the moment. Ive observed that successful people are constantly doing what theyre good at, and thats how they get better. SO Ive set myself a challenge to write, meditate and exercise every day. So far Im going really good with the writing, just jotting down little bits of info on various characters in my lunch breaks. At weekends I lay out all the cards and try to add more plot points.
