Embracing Imperfection - Lessons from Surfing

Ok the word Is out, I am a perfectionist! My whole life I have always wanted to be the best at everything I do. Whether it is academics or sports or just random skills. I want to perfect them all. I am very grateful I am naturally gifted at many things. I always am searching how to improve my mind body emotions and soul. Throughout this adventure I have improved myself and habits so much. However I still yearn for more. I believe this will be a life long yearning. Never to be satisfied with the status quo. Always upward and onward. On the other hand you must give yourself grace and see how far you have come and be patient. Recently I have been craving routine to get into focused high growth mode. This is pretty difficult while backpacking and moving around so much trying to see the country. However I learned from that slower is better while traveling. It is best to stay in a place at least 5 nights, preferably more if you like it. As I look to wind down my trip I begin to think about important habits I must continue. Today I went to the sauna and cold plunge on the cliffs of Uluwatu overlooking a world famous surf break. The sauna and cold plunge make me so focused and relaxed. Now back to surfing. As I mentioned I am naturally gifted at many sports, but surfing is one of the more difficult ones to get a hang of. That being said I really have only surfed for 5 days maybe, less than 20 hours total. I think I can become a pro while only just starting. That is silly. To master any skill it takes repetition, patience and time. I am going to continue to put in more hours in surfing.
