Today’s swim was pure presence

✨ 120 lengths = 3km

But what truly made it beautiful was my intention—to swim with ease and calm.

And you know what? I forgot my water bottle… yet I didn’t come out with a headache.

Why? I genuinely believe it was because of the intention I set.

Before I even hit the water, I visualised the swim. I felt the calm I wanted to experience. I made myself feel how I wanted to feel. And it came about. 🧘‍♀️💦

There was something really special about today.

I focused on the pull of my freestyle (my arms definitely got a workout 😅), and I slowed my tumble turns right down to fine-tune my technique. Some were smooth, others… well, still a bit flaily 😂 But that’s part of it—I’m reconditioning my body and mind to work together.

So why was today’s swim more pleasant?

Honestly, I reckon it was mindset. That intention for calm. That feeling of being in flow before I even began.

Powerful stuff.
