When I went swimming last night I statred counting my strokes from 9:00 onwards, I was doing breaststroke and I got into such a rhythm that I couldn't stop, Ifelt like I was in a world of my own, as I was momentarily under water for each stroke I couldn't hear any of what was going on in my surroundings just the in-out in-out of my breathing. This was the most calm I had been for ages, I was so calm and focused on my breathing that I did 56 lengths of breaststroke in 25 minutes, it just shows that if you are determined to do something and you have got the right amount of self control, rhythm, and your mind and body connect as one you can really achieve things that you thought would not otherwise be possible. My ears were not the only thing that adapted to this mind set. My eyes dipped in and out of the water and they admired the reflection of my hands on the underside of the water when I was under it then the reflection on the top-side when I was partially out.
For that 25 minutes of my time I was so in peace with the world that I didn't even know it, so relaxed, so intent on swimming the journey without actually having a goal, that I found a place that I rarely visit in my mind, to simply be; If you are reading this I am going to set you a challenge, sit in your own in a quiet place, think about the world and just simply be, should you accept this please write the concequences in my post comments box, Thanks.
