👋
Hello readers of Writing the Rapids - I hope your year is going smoothly. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I got caught up with other commitments. I'm posting a note about surfing ☺ it encompasses riding the waves and body surfing:
Surfing is an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety. When you're out in the water, you're fully immersed in the moment and focused on the waves. The rhythmic sound of the water, the feel of the sun and wind on your skin and the peacefulness of the ocean all help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Conquering waves can be a significant achievement. This can carry over to other areas of your life. The physical activity, fresh air and being out in nature can be a potent mood booster. Surfing releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals which can improve your overall sense of wellbeing.
Surfing releases negative emotions through the act of 'riding the waves,' while channelling your energy into a healthy activity. ☺
