Why Facing the Water Taught Me More Than Just Swimming

Throughout our lives there are a lot of things that we want to be doing but not everything that we want to do gets to be something that we are actually able to be doing and there is what makes it something that remain as a wish that we want it to get done in reality but you to some reason it couldn't get itself converted into reality and the list that contains these kind of things is often pretty long.

However not all the time there is going to be the things that are going to be happening in a particular manner that nothing is going to be ever be taken off that list which we did create and Windows moment it becomes something that obviously is a really great thing to happen because something when it happens which was actually a particular thing which we thought we were never going to be able to ever do if something that is obviously a great feeling.

There are obviously a lot of things that are going to be personally coming for me in that particular list and at the same time there are a lot of things which have already got itself taken of that list for me but one of the things that I would love to talk about his definitely going to be one of the thing that I used to be very much scared of as a very young kid and that became something which I overcome in a very easy manner and also it used to be something that I thought will never be something that I will be able to do in my life.

Water has always been one of those things which has had a love hate relationship with me because there are a lot of such instances when I actually enjoying being in the water when it is about heavy rain or even in the water parks which has the slides but at the same time when it comes to be participating in any kind of place which has some sort of deep water where you cannot be actually Standing and you need to swim over there to stay above the water those are the places which meet me fear like anything from water.

There was a swimming pool near our house as well, which was something that usually became a spot where all my friends used to go in the evening during the summers, and it was kind of a thing that I really tried to avoid initially because I was not very comfortable with swimming. After all, I was not able to do that and also felt a little bit terrified of getting drowned, and that's why it was something that was not a very great thing for me to be involved in.

The fear of drowning was something that has been a part of me since I actually don't remember when and how it started but it was always something that I felt whenever I went in a pool and that's why I tried to just stay on the shallow parts of it and also not try to get myself under the water in any circumstance and that was something that became a Habit for me and later on it used to make me feel that I would never be able to swim anytime.

It was something that I build my identity around as well because I acknowledge the fat that I may not be able to swim but I can obviously participate in those whole events with my friends but managing my fear in that same manner and that was something that definitely was not really a great experience but there was a turning point in all of this because it was the time when my parents thought that it is something that is obviously not really massive thing to be getting rid of so they try to help me and also got me and instructor who would actually help me to learn to swim.

And then one fine day when it was the time of my first classes with him it was a really nervous moment for me because it was something that I actually felt to avoid all the time and acknowledge the fact that I mean not actually be able to do it ever in my life but later on when he started to give me those simple instructions that at least get into the water and then just try to move your hands around and all of the things that he was saying it was something that was getting into me in a very different manner.

However, it was not something that I was still comfortable with because I was just trying to figure out a way that would actually going to be helping me get away from this, and also reconsidering my own thoughts about why I agreed to do this in the first place. But that day it was something that had a little bit of difference in it because even though I actually so all the time that people around me were very much confident and swimming with relative is, but that time I definitely thought of fighting my urge and just tried to give a little bit of strokes by getting my legs off the floor.

There was something really difficult for me in the beginning as I was struggling to even maintain my balance without having my feet on the floor itself but later on slowly it became something that I tried to Grab a hold of and started to notice the patterns that are actually needed to be implemented to be maintaining the proper balance and later on the fact that I got away from my mental barrier which I always had about the fan that I may not be never able to swim I just overcome that and later on it was just matter of skill and time which is exactly the thing that I realised.

And later on swimming became a thing that I actually managed to do in reality and ever since I have been loving water as a whole because it was always something that I enjoyed to be in and now that one of the only things that was actually the reasons why I might have any kind of reason to avoided is also gone and it is also one of those things that I never thought I would actually be able to do in my life but later on it actually happened which really is a big lesson for me because even if it is from a very young part of my life it is always going to be something that will stay inspirational for me because I know the struggles that I had initially.

There are obviously going to be a lot of things which we think that we might not ever be able to do it in our life in any stage but surely it is just a mental block that we have created for our ownself because it is just a matter of a few factors which are needed to be considered and made in to the things that it requires itself to be a reality and apart from that there is nothing else that can actually be a reason to not be able to do it.
