I laugh to die or my eyes were full of water (a try to play on words🧐) when you said " i can't float" because it does was me back then but i decided to turn my gigantic water's fear into pleasure when learning to swim and it works, my fear vanished. Hoping you can do it yourself someday with your fear of height and water, that's a great feeling. Maybe there is just nothing to fear but that's an another topic some fears are anchored very deeply.
On daily basis i only speak and think in French. Just every once in a while i text with an american friend also once a week i speak with an another brit friend half time in french and the other in english. Someday i am comfy and other days i felt so bad, terrible because the words won't come out but that's a part of the process.
I would be honored to receive a signed copy of your released book, really. I first could read it ( but do not write thousand pages😅please ) and mostly it means you would have been published and will realise one of your big dream, to be published and went on the process to write your book. I 100 % support you.
To finish this one i am happy to hear from your reply and get to write in english this alive way. Sorry it was a lot (my answer) but i so rarely write in english.
I promise it won't be 1,000 pages long! 😉 And thank you for your support. I really do appreciate it. Take care and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on more posts!
I thought i have to leave you a comment for the writer who i added in my reading routine. By the way there are just two🙂 that's enough for me😅That's kind of tough to flashback or play forward in past shadow memories, to dip in moments where things were unpleasant and take them on but when you do it you're ready! So i think you're ready now. The why not now ? was a trigger maybe. You're brave enough and do not care anymore about what if i fail!
I am the sort of guy who's lazy in the sense i do not want to be overwhelming with strong emotions so i try to not overthinking and enjoy the little pleasant moments in life.
We/ i postponed a lot of stuff that's human but i also think the failure is not to have a try a
big win is to try whatever the results is. That's about you and not the others expectations.
Personnaly i learnt to swim at the age of 40'. It was challenging because of the water fear i put into it but once i was in the swimming pool i enjoy the moment and my fear suddenly disappeared.
Whish you the best for your book🙂 and as always hope you understand my english
Bonjour Stephane! It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for sharing your reaction to the piece and well done on learning to swim at 40. I share your fear of the water and am a terrible swimmer (fun fact: I can't float), so I can imagine what a challenge it must have been.
One of these days, I'm going to do something to conquer my fear of heights. It will be difficult and very, very scary. But I'm going to be so proud of myself afterwards. Even if I don't succeed, I'll take immense pride in just trying. As you say, the big win is to try whatever the result is.
Thank you for your well wishes for my book. When/if it gets published one day, I'd love to send you a signed copy. And please keep writing in English. I can understand you perfectly and doing is the best way to learn!
This is related to me now. What I’m doing to improve my behavior is creating my morning exercise routine. I used to say like ‘let’s do it on the 1st of the month’ then the new months came by many months, I was still not started! So, one day, I woke up early and decided “just do it now”. I keep doing it for 60++ day in a row. This is a power of now!
Oh wow congrats Paddy! Exercise is such a wonderful habit to start. I applaud you and hope you come to enjoy the exercising. That's what happened for me and now I don't have to force myself to go anymore! I just go because I enjoy it.
Coucou Val,
