And just like that, she ticked it
It’s Friday again. Already!
This is seriously getting out of hand. We write these pieces every week, about something that happened recently. The last couple of months, it has felt like I’ve had to write one every second day. That is how quickly time seems to pass. Okay, enough of me sounding like an old man.
Luckily, there is something very cool to tell you about this week.
On Wednesday, we hosted a teambuilding event for one of our clients. For this specific client, we never tell them what we are planning, just that they need to be ready for anything. For this event, we told them to bring warm clothes and clothes they can get wet in. It still being the middle of winter, some of them were not happy!
Long story short: Two of the activities we invited them to participate in were a lengthy breathwork session and a cold plunge in icy water. Both these activities are out of the ordinary for most people, but a large number of them took part in both. One of my favourite comments from the day came from a lady who said something along the lines of: “I’ve seen so many people on social media doing breathwork or cold plunges, and I have always wanted to try it. Both of these activities have been on my bucket list for so long. And now I ticked both of them off in one day!”
She felt immensely proud of herself. As did we. For very good reason.
Afterwards, Shinell and I were talking about how easily we talk ourselves out of so many things we actually want to and should attempt. Those things that make us feel courageous, accomplished and alive. You can probably think of something immediately that you have wanted to try for the longest time.
Why not just do it?
Before you call me a big mouth, here is evidence that we both did it. Practice what you preach!
