Why Swimming Helps to Balance My Daily Self

I can get so wrapped up in the external space that I’m at, it starts to feel like white noise- so much happening around and it all becomes a cloud of non-specifics. This reminds me of the zone in swimming when I can go and go and time stands still yet my body performs during a practice or a race. So in life, I find that I am most successful if I can can keep my internal world calm by trusting myself and the confidence that I have created, then the external world is more specific and I can focus my energy on what Im wanting to maneuver around and what to recognize as a yes or a no. So here’s to self awareness in the water or on land to negotiate and make decisions and not zone out of what happens or unfolds throughout the day.
