I was lying on the grass near the beach, where I paddle. It was Sunday lunchtime, I had just enjoyed a little time out watching the world go by, with a nice fish and chips for lunch. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves on a Sunday, then my mind started to chimed back in to why I was there ?

Oh crap, that's right, I'm doing an afternoon single canoe paddle in a swirly, after that will mean, I will be pushing myself outside my comfort zone totally and needing to back myself fully.

As I sat there and assessed my plan of attack and the thoughts were coming thick and fast about how slow I was going to be, most likely flip my canoe a few times, then having to always be at the back of the pack and feeling like I was holding everyone else up (who had way more experience than I did).

When I get into this frame for myself, I always step outside my mind and ask myself, what would I say to my clients? It was instinct 'Ready, FIRE, Aim' !

Instead of second guessing myself and putting doubt into my own my, just get out there give it a go and then reassess and learn to set your 'aim' differently on your next experience. This is where growth really occurs.

After a lot of, my goodness thoughts of how bumpy it was, nearly flipping my canoe a few times. I made it to a run approx 6 km out (felt like 20km) and then got to run the bumps back in.

Learning is always Ready, FIRE, Aim!

Much Love, Strength and don't forget to always
