Session 52 - Learning To Swim

Session 52 - Learning To Swim

Since childhood, I always wanted to learn to swim, however, due to a bad, learning to swim, experience, I left hopes of me ever learning to swim aside until I was aged 40.

I did some work around my fear of water and drowning and hypnosis helped me enormously.

The gym I attended had a 25-metre swimming pool and whilst I didn't take lessons per se, I splashed around hoping to find the secret to learning to swim.

I recall a friend of mine happened to be in the pool alongside me one day and whilst he can swim he never really made any big deal out of the fact that I couldn't.

I was still clinging to the sides of the pool and occasionally dunking my head under the water so quickly that my head didn't even get wet.

One time when he was exiting the water he made a very profound comment to me. "Try just floating," he said.

Well I tried and I tried and I tried. No good. Then I thought since I'm in the shallow end of the pool, what's the worst possible thing that could happen to me?

I gave it one last attempt. I did it, I floated. Another thing I learned was: surrender to the water and you will float.

Surrendering is that all-important concept. Just think of it. Whether it be learning to ride a bicycle or learning to swim, surrendering is an all-important component.

Just 'wing' it and see what happens. Right now, what do you need to just 'wing'?

Set out and yet be safe and 'wing' it and you just might surprise yourself at what you can achieve.

Be Powerful.
