Mate this couldn’t have come into my feed at a better time. I’m feeling all of these emotions and at the moment I’m currently learning and putting my all into learning to surf. It truely is therapeutic especially when you have stuff like imposter syndrome and self doubt, things along those line weighing on you. Great video may go under appreciated but this is so true.
Hang in there bro. Learning to surf is so grounding.. for me, every time I wipe out and surface, I laugh at myself because it reminds me of how much of a beginner I am. The beginner mindset is something I need to be reminded of often in surfing but also in my everyday! One of the things that helps remind me when I am struggling is, that even though it appears like everyone else has it all figured out, we are all going through personal struggles, so nobody has life figured out! Imposter syndrome and self doubt...funny, the more I learn in my field of work the more I realize the less I know, perhaps the imposter syndrome is just your inner demons smiling at you and saying, no matter how much you think you know, keep going because as cheesy as it sounds, you can always learn more. Perhaps confidence comes from knowing that you are still in the process of learning? Fuck! Sorry bro... don't mean to preach, I am just trying to figure it all out too! Good luck with your surfing and in the grand scheme of it all, you might as well believe in yourself because you have absolutely nothing to lose! ... there I go again... I'll stop now! Thanks for the stoke!
