Paddleboarding UK 🏄♀️ SUP and swim on the River Wey (dealing with anxiety)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- Join me on a relaxing summers day paddle up the River Wey navigation in Surrey ✌️ It was the first time I had got the paddleboard out in a long time, but once I had remembered how to pump it up I was soon off on my SUP adventure down the river! The navigation is part canal part river, so it’s also a great spot for some wild swimming even though the water is not the clearest.
I’m also talking about anxiety in this video, and how I try to deal with these challenging feelings when they come up. I used to be so scared of the physical feelings of anxiety, but once I realised what was happening in my body it helped me to just accept the sensations and try to relax my mind. I’m no expert, but if you ever feel this way, you are not alone.
Hope you enjoy it and as always thanks for watching! 🙏

A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here: www.victoriagracesilversmith.com

What a beautiful little adventure, anxiety is such a pain, when I am healthy and happy I forget it evert exists, but when I am stressed and tired and pushing myself it loves to make everything difficult. I found Melatonin helps to keep my sleep patterns more structured and that reallyhelps me. And music is my mindfulness. Thanks for the beautiful video, lots of love to you!!
Thank you 🙏 Yes you are right there, it’s easy to forget when you feel ok and then for me things can start to slide pretty rapidly. You’ve reminded me I need some more sleep sups though, I often take 5htp which seems to help. I think I’ll put some music on too, thank you! 🤩
Having panic attacks and anxiety is completely normal after going through a trauma like loosing Ms Nancy, and doing something like relaxing on the river is the best way to deal with it.
Well done for not giving up and going home when you started feeling anxious. ❤
thank you ☺️
Being by water is perfect. So soothing x
So true x
Great video once again Tori and that lovely smile of yours is coming back as well. Dealing with anxiety is hard but you seem to have great ways of dealing with it. Look after yourself and sending you a big virtual hug. Look forward to your next adventure.
thank you ☺️
Enjoy your content and your honesty about how you feel! Always listen to your sister❤
Thank you so much!! ha yes that’s best so she says anyway ❤️
thank you for this relaxing adventure and the great message of trying to take care of oneself 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.Looks like a lot of fun.Looking forward to your next one.
❤️ thanks!
Very calming video Tori. That paddle board is a cool piece of kit too. Look after yourself and look forward to the next adventure.
Thank you!
I’m a totally new subscriber, I have to say I was so sorry you felt so low.
What always works for me is just being out in nature, it definitely helps me.
Good luck 👍👍
Wonderfull scenery, go go Tori.
☺️🙏
I have just enjoyed your latest video........as ever a gentle and tranquil escape for twenty minutes or so. Thankyou and I hope you find some inner peace......you deserve it.
So glad thank you! ☺️
Good morning 🌅, Lovely to see the English Countryside, it is a great shame that the river are so polluted now, when I was a youngster I would go swimming in the rivers with my friends, I am now retired living in France my property as a river/stream it is very clear, the only time it gets murky is when there has been a lot of rain or storm,
Sorry to hear you suffer from anxiety , you might find listening to chillout music, or meditation bells or bowls, where they chant, I hope you find some enjoyment and relaxation and relaxing journey on the river, France.
Well, the regulators can hopefully start getting some teeth (and money) back after Thursday.
some of the rivers definitely are polluted, I hope not all but I really don’t know. must be lovely living in France near the river, beautiful. I will have a look into the meditation bells thank you!
A video of great beauty. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Another brilliant video looks so nice the scenery where you went x
Thanks ! X
Thank you for taking us along with you 😊
You've inspired me to get my paddle board out and go down to the local lake !!
That’s excellent! It’s s nice out on the water, sometimes seems like a faff to get ready but it’s worth it ☺️
Very refreshing and relaxing video also have anxiety and depression. Can’t wait for the next one. From Alabama USA.
thank you 🙏 i wish you well
Great video and a great message to those struggling.....doing something positive is progress x
Absolutely! thank you x
Ey up me duck.
I randomly came across this vid and enjoyed watching. You're so right what you said regarding anxiety and being in nature is definitely better than any medication.
From a fellow sufferer of mental health and bad anxiety. 💚🙂
🙏 agree, being in nature really is the best medicine ☺️💙
Fantastic video it's so nice that people talk about anxiety , we all suffer I think but some more than others .my anxiety cripples me at times but just watching you dealing with it helps us all .this is the first video I have watched with you .keep them going and I will watch them all ❤
thank you I am so glad you found this video helpful, it really can be crippling and it’s so easy to feel like you’re the only person who feels that way too. thanks for watching ❤️
Wowwww beautiful Adventure ❤
❤️
I really enjoy watching your videos Tori, keep strong
thank you ☺️
Another lovely video with beautiful scenery and honest insights. I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety. You seem to be doing all of the right things to manage it. I did laugh at the nosey dog
Thank you 🙏 yeah me too but I guess we can’t feel good all the time. Trying to get on with things but it does make life more difficult that’s for sure. Haha the dog oh my gosh I though my phone was going in the water and that would have been it 🫣
@@missnancysdayoff You're right that life has peaks and troughs and after a traumatic event such as you've been through those troughs might be deeper and longer for a while but you'll come through them. You need a hug girl!
@stephenpickering5968 ☺️ yeah to be fair at least to be honest I know why I feel bad. I can be so prickly when I’m not feeling good though Hugging me can be a dangerous business 😅
Thank you for opening up about Anxieties. I suffer terribly but thought it was just me. Its kind of comforting to realise its not just me although I wouldn't wish it on anyone, its nice to know im not so freaky as I thought. 😊 Sending you lots of good, positive energy for your next adventures! 💫🙏
Hey Pablo. I too can relate, I posted this by itself, but wanted to share with you. I jusy found something that worked for me, after 30+ years of dealing with it. Look up "Internal Family Systems" it worked crazy well for me even doing it by myself. Honestly, doing solo is why it worked. I had to look inward and basically talk to that anxiety inside me like it is it's own person. Show them the love and support you would show your best friend. Tell yourself. "I see you, thank you for doing your best to help me. I love you. Let's let calm and confidence take over." Meditate and use that as your intention and I know you'll feel a shift. If you or anyone else tries it, please let me know. It literally changed my whole life. Namaste. 😊❤
It’s so easy to feel that way, but no I reckon lots of us are freaky like that 😊 thank you! 🤩
Good to see you again Tori. Be4ing a bit more adventurous than I've seen so far. Sorry to hear about the way you've been feeling. You're strong enough to overcome it, of course.
Anyhoo, good to see you having some fun in the sun. Usual rules, Be well, happy 'n' safe.
Take care. At last you're smiling more.
Wolfie.
Thanks, yes I used to go Paddleboarding a lot but haven’t really for years, was good to get back out. Thanks ☺️ I’ll try, hope you are having a good weekend x
I 100% agree with you, many times I plan days out but I talk myself out of it after waking up, when I actually get out my stomach, chest and head gives me a nausea feeling. So well done for achieving your day out
It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of it, i do it all the time, i try to take each day as a fresh chance 🙏
Brilliant vid, really enjoyed it, love boats being on the water, long as I don't go in, panic then, carnt swim very good, getting out in the great outdoors is a great healer it worked for me when I suffered from depression and anxiety, im all good now thank god, some people don't understand, p.s I was thinking she going to go in, but you handled it like a pro, wishing you well, take care ❤
Thank you! Aah not being confident swimming would put me off boating a bit for sure! You’re brave. I’m really glad you have healed, nature is the way to go. Ps next time 😅
You upload such colourful and scenic videos which are inspiring and real ❤️ thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 the music is great too!! Bless you sweetie 🥰 I might buy myself a paddle board!! 🤔
Thank you so much! 😊 Paddleboarding is actually pretty fun, if you live near water totally do it 🥰
Blimey, Cornwall to Surrey. Living the high life. Looking forward to seeing you with another Dog , all in good time. I find my dog soothes away all troubles and stresses with their calm nature. Perfect if you suffer from Anxiety.
they really do, just having them there with there sweet faces and the way they live in the moment is so relaxing and calming.
Yourself and the scenery Stunning as always Tori...
I feel your anxiety. Just recovering from a major cancer operation, your videos are really calming.
Take care Tori ❤ x
Thank you 🙏 I am so glad the video are calming for you and I hope that your recovery is smooth☺️ ❤️ x
I love getting outdoors - so calming and yet fulfilling. I’ve just got back from walking the Coleridge Way (Somerset into Devon) and then a stretch of the South West Coastal path with my rescue hound. I feel mentally recharged. Oddly, the more active my mind is, the more I enjoy it.
Watching you in that water I was thinking the whole waterway could benefit from being sent through your water filter.
I do enjoy your posts - I always look forward to watching them and hearing you r meaningful comments.
that’s sounds wonderful, i think I could do with some long walks. filter the whole waterway 😅 that is a good suggestion!
Lovely video, my first time seeing your channel. Loved the honesty. ❤
thank you i am so glad you liked it 🙏
Really cool video!!!
Relatively new subscriber here but really enjoying the content - having been a sufferer from anxiety and depression in the past (and the occasional panic attack!) I sympathise. Not had anything like that for nearly a decade - the one thing I put down to being the greatest remedy for me was getting out into nature on my own, walking for miles in the most out of the way picturesque places.
So glad you like it thanks for the sub! I think you’re absolutely right, if I was spending a few hours each day out walking i think I’d be feeling somewhat better now. Just need to tour that into action. I’m so glad you were able to turn it around ☺️
Seems like you were very "mindful" of what you were experiencing and how you were feeling. Thanks for sharing that with us and being so open!
❤️
Glad to see you out and about and enjoying life and nature. It looks like a lovely river and calming place.
Anxiety is horrid thing, and something I have unknowingly suffered most of my adult life with. I have only recently learnt to control and my life has totally changed.
You probably need a drift stopper for your paddle board, which are set of fins that strap on the back of the board, and will keep you going in a straight line (though probably not cheap).
Happy travels 👍🏼
Thanks, it was pretty peaceful and quiet that day very nice. I’m sorry to hear that, it’s definitely something that I think we need to kind of engage with and accept to learn how to deal with it. That paddleboard actually has 3 fins attached permanently on the back, which I assume are supposed to fulfill that function?! So I think it’s my terrible paddle ing, to be fair that is a very small board which make it easier to turn, but harder to go straight. That’s my excuse! 😅
Your vids are so interesting and relaxing, being a Greyhound dad I can't imagine how you must feel,godbless you and thanks for yr videos they are amazing, u r a truly beautiful soul both on the inside and out
You are so kind, thank you!
@@missnancysdayoff Will u have another Greyhound in the future?
That must be the most cost effective and environmentally friendly way to introduce you to the canal way of life. Many years ago voluntary work took place to restore the Wey and Arun canal . Peace and tranquility and country life are the best things to help you through life. Life in the slow lane is an ideal way to relax and let stress and strain fade and love life and living once again .Canal life has been mine for many years hope it will soon become yours
It’s very interesting going past all the boats and wondering if people live on them. I certainly agree with peace tranquility and country life, I’m all about the slow lane. Do you live on a canal boat now? I’m not sure if I realised that from what you said before. If you know anyone with one to rent/houseboat so I could try out the lifestyle let me know!
Glad you had a great day and are hopefully on the way to relieving some of your anxiety.
Thank you ☺️
Another lovely video Tori, nice to see you on another different adventure and the positive progress you're making through your grief...ref steering your paddle board, experiment with leaving your paddle blade in the water at the end of the stroke with different angles so as to direct the water under the board 🙏
Thank you ☺️ that sounds like a good tip for paddling a few people mentioned a similar thing! 🙏
Hey nancy , great video . I found this as a random SUP board video to watch . I enjoy paddleboading and its so relaxing once your out on the water. I dont think about work hoe life or anything just enjoy my surroundings and the absence of day to day rushing around. i found your video relaxing to watch 1st thing in the morning , Your filimg was fine so no issues there. Keep up the good work
awesome thanks, glad you found us!
That was a beautiful location and video. You put into words a subject I found difficult to when I suffered with both depression and anxiety. Panic attacks are scary and horrible, but thankfully I feel much better these days. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. I love your drawings/graphics too ❤️
Thank you so much, In am glad you like it ❤️ and that you are feeling better these days too, depression and anxiety and no fun and hard to get over.
I live not far from there. Nature, sunshine and music perfect video to watch. Since I have lived off grid my mind, health and love of life has skyrocketed. Food as you say is very important ❤
Thank you ☺️ Living off grid that sounds great so glad it’s had such a positive effect for you, one day for me hopefully!

This time of year is amazing. You have a period of 4months Nov/Feb that can be a drag. Everything has a price though. I get really excited when the garden stirs as I know it's only a matter of time before nature chatters and blooms. The long days of light and early morning bird calls set my clock perfectly. Then jumpers and fires snuggle my soul as the nights draw in. Not many people get it or have the time. The dark, cold and mud that follows resets you and makes you appreciate what has gone before and before too long will shortly follow. If it is something you would like to do and you get the chance, go for it. I know for sure it's been a challenge and I have been lucky. I was never afraid of failing, I was more afraid of regretting not giving it a go. We all have our battles. It's shown me you don't need a lot to be happy and at peace with oneself. A cup of tea, biscuit and a the heat of a fire and I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat. I do have to be careful though that living as I do on my own that I don't become too feral 😂
@@missnancysdayoff You're welcome. Come and try it for a few days and see 👍 I will leave you to it. Be interesting to see if it helps you find peace. Just don't wreck the place 😂
Hey Tori, lovely peaceful video, one of my favourite things to do, paddling on the river is so calming, always such a gentle way to spend a day. The effects of anxiety can be so incredibly strong and make you feel like you are ready to collapse, so I’m glad you started to feel the peace from the river and enjoyed your day there.
Also I was thinking ‘she’s going to fall in in a minute’ then your caption popped up 😂
Xx 🤗❤️
Thanks! It was very peaceful out there on that day, it does take a really long time to feel better sometimes. Like years 🤣 I just knew when I watched that back people were gonna be secretly hoping for a fall, only natural! Xx 🤗
@@missnancysdayoff I’m crossing everything, fingers, arms, toes, legs and eyes that it doesn’t really take years! 😂
Well, ahem, of course I wasn’t hoping you would fall in at all! 👀 😂 xx 🤗
Fab film , thank you Tori
Keep hydrated out on the water 😅. I can’t give any advice on SUP techniques , but off road mtb cycling yes 👍
Best wishes to you on your adventures, from here in The Newforest
I’m glad you liked it! Ah funny you should say that i am hoping to get back on my MTB too (if i can get the brakes unseized 🫣) so you can tell me them what I’m doing wrong! Hope you’re keeping well and have seen some ponies today, magical place
I love this tori , a fantastic trip , but also I see your inner strength coming through ...I've been brave too and come back to Somerset and the place I last bought my m and dad before they got sick ....life it's never easy but you inspire me that life goes on ....take care always tori , love all you do ..lee Upminster Wiltshire ❤
Thank you, well done that sounds like really good action and it is so hard you are right, i hope you are doing well ❤️
Thanks Tori , I'm.like you I have good days and bad days at the moment .but you take care of yourself OK 👍lee
The beautiful River Wey 😊
That was a professional dismount, no question of you falling in
I suffered from anxiety too, but not panic attacks
Haha thank you, not sure about no question but it wasn’t too close a call 😊 thankfully I’ve not had a panic attack for years, the lifestyle of my 20s did not help with that but I’m pretty clean living now! Anxiety does come and go though it sucks.
Great vlog ,i normally go kayaking down the Basingstoke channel and iv been thinking of doing the river wey next 😊 after seeing how peaceful and nice it is on the wey il be following your footsteps on my next kayaking trip next week ,this vlog has be very useful and helpful to me so thank you very much ,iv subbed 😊 enjoy your outdoor summer 🏊♂️🏄🚣🙂😉
Awesome i am so glad you found it helpful! Should be a good day out and you can go a lot further than i did if you want, have a pint in Guildford 🍺 thanks for the sub, you too! ☺️🛶🏊♀️
I watched this yesterday, I was going to write to you then but seeing your heartfelt loss, hit a spot that you will understand. Several tissues later, a day later, there is only one thing to help you, get a puppy and start over, it is the only way. You will never forget your beloved friend, ever. It has been a long time since losing Dylon, he was recued from being put down the next day, I took him home and he was the best friend I ever had,. A hound but an Afghan hound. ❤
Dylon sounds very special ❤️ I truly won’t ever forget Nancy, although I hope it becomes less raw some day. i do want to get another dog when I can, it is such a pure relationship and I miss it all so much.
Hi tori great video beautiful scenery as always and to top it off the beautiful tori and what a work out pumping the paddle boat up well done hope you are ok and well and remember all your followers love watching you and your videos so be safe and take care ❤xxx
Thank you! Ha yes it is a good work out pumping, it’s a pretty good pump though it doesn’t really take long I just make it look hard 😅 xx
@@missnancysdayoff thanks for the reply tori hope you are ok and well looking forward to your next adventure be safe and take care ❤️xxx
Glad yiu had a nice time Tori
Thank you 🙏
Great Vid, Big Hugs ❤
Thanks ☺️❤️
motion graphics at the start look really cool :) have a lovely weekend mate
Thank you! ☺️
I had panic disorder in my 20s. Was not pleasant, but i learnt to soothe and practice self-compassion. You're right that once it starts, takes a while before the body gets back to normal. Hugs
thanks ☺️ Self-compassion, that’s an interesting one and that so right and something I am trying to do a little more
Lovely 😊
Thank you! 😊
Respect to you for just getting out there and having another adventure !
Lovely and peaceful and great camera work as usual
Hope your monkey brain has calmed down..take care xx
Grief fuelled anxiety has been hanging around my life for years and I'm only starting to understand it now, and recognise how it affects me day to day. A lot of how you described yourself felt very familliar and I very much empathise. From this little snapshot of your life, it looks like you are coping quite well even though I'm sure it doesn't feel like it a lot of the time. Deep breaths and one day at a time, is the only way sometimes.
Thank you for sharing that, yeah honestly it doesn’t feel like I’m doing so great a lot of the time 🫣 But every today is a new day, I am trying to learn to take a bit of pressure off myself when I’m not feeling great which is not so easy. Deep breaths 🙏
Looked like a great day, your looking good Tori
🦖😊
Another really relaxing video with great perspectives. I took one look at the water and was hoping you weren't going to fall in but then you actually went in willingly!! The ocean has to be a lot more appealing but then you can't really paddleboard on it unless conditions are perfect.
As for going straight, modify your stroke to something akin to a canoe or kayak J-stroke. At the end of each stroke, just do a little correction - using the paddle as a rudder - and you will keep straight without having to make large corrections.
At the end of the stroke, leave the paddle in the water for 1/2 second and turn it parallel to the board and twist it lightly in in the direction that will help you go straight. The j-stroke becomes seamless after a while and once you log 10km, you'll be a pro!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it! Yes I agree it was nowhere near as appealing as the sea but it was what was available and it was so hot! No chance I’d go in in the winter. Ok the J stroke, this definitely sound lie the answers and i will try it next time I am out thank you, 10km oh my gosh 😅
What a fantastic adventure surrounded by nature can’t beat the outdoors for the feelgood factor ❤ You have definitely inspired us to get our kayak out and head for the local river
Have a great week Tori From snowy and myself
thank you! did you get out in the kayak this week? I hope you and snowy are having a great weekend ❤️
@@missnancysdayoff Yes thank you very much for inspiring us to get out in the kayak we went to our local beach where it got quite choppy and let’s just say Miss snowy was not best impressed As waves splashed over the side she got quite wet😩😂😂
We're with you Tori ❤. Hang in there xo
🤗❤️
Ohhh Miss Nancy 👍
Great video!
Thanks!
Good to see you Tori. I love how you accidentally caught a couple of dogs doing their thing very cute 😻. Yes it was very amusing what you said that the end about how the dogs will magically appear to knock over your camera, and the reference to 'effluent' 🤣, you are very brave to swim in a canal it's one place I would struggle to build the courage to go in 😧. But I love canals and your video took me back to when I was at college and we went on a week's residential on a canal boat that was a converted coal haulier so it was equipped with bunk beds and the canvas roof, it was great fun.
It sounds like you're amygdala is running on overdrive 🤯 so I would definitely encourage you to continue daily mindfulness practice. It's been shown on MRI scans that 25 days of mindfulness practice is sufficient to reduce the size of your amygdala an increase the size of other parts of the brain. A reduced amygdala will correspond to a reduced experience of anxiety.
When I was growing up having I had friends on a farm, it struck me as strange that they take the cow's milk for themselves but give the carves powdered milk. What on earth is the point in that. And then where does the powdered milk come from? The whole thing is beyond ridiculous. Then there was a company in London who were making ice cream from human milk, the mothers were being paid to supply the surplus milk. But this was quickly closed down by the council due to health concerns that the milk was not suitable for human consumption! 😳 So we're not allowed to drink human milk but it's fine to drink milk from other animals which again illustrates societies insanity. I know some people here might be freaked out about the idea of drinking human milk particularly as an adult but then why doesn't it freak people out the idea of drinking animals milk? Okay rant over.😅
I do hope you continue with your mindfulness practice and I keep my fingers crossed that your anxiety will settle down. Sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗 (hugs have been shown in studies to reduce stress) I give a lot of hugs to my family and friends and would suggest everybody gives it a try. ✌
They were cute, nowhere near as cute as my girl but they can’t help that 🫣 honestly if it hadn’t been so hot i don’t think i would have gone in, sparkling clear water is definelty far more appealing! The sea may also be full of raw sewage but at least them is more of it to dilute it 😂 that sounds like a very fun college trip though, id like to try a canal boat.
I wish it was continuing the mindfulness practice, I’ve done it in the past but i really need to start from scratch, I’m not putting the right things first I admit. Thank you for the reminder, it’s crazy how i can know from my own personal experience as well as reading things as you have said that it is of great benefit to me, and yet still not just do it. Humans are weird.
The whole milk thing is utterly nuts when you really do think about it. Surely the great milk ice cream makes a lot more sense! Absolutely nuts. Of course harvesting breast milk from others species that is produced purely and solely to grow there babies into big fat calves makes sense and isn’t at all disturbing 🫣
Thank you ☺️🤗
@@missnancysdayoff 'sea may also be full of raw sewage but at least them is more of it to dilute it' 🤣🤣 that's true!
Hmmm if I could take a canal boat and put it on the rivers of Europe that will be great, I'm pretty sure you could travel a new stretch of water every day for years without covering the same area twice.
Believe it or not but 'not' doing what you know is good for you is actually one of the recovery stages of grief. For the same reason a person can stay in bed all day, they beat themselves up that they're being lazy or unproductive but the brain needs that time to process which ultimately leads them closer recovery. So don't be too hard on yourself. What you feed your mind is important and one way to do that in a fairly easy way is with a good podcast. Perhaps choose something on the subject of mindfulness to listen to, something that describes the benefits or people's experiences, even though you know that it can reinforce or enhance the desire to participate again in mindfulness practice.
I remember speaking to a farmer who had twin carves that were orphaned and none of the other mothers took them on so they were fed formula and he said that their growth pattern was severely stunted because they were not drinking their mother's milk. It's also odd that human mothers would prefer in some cases to feed their newborns on formula. I know there are complications such as latching if a mother decides to feed her newborn naturally but this is the only way her child would get an immune system amongst other numerous benefits. Indeed humans are weird.
Keep up the good work Tori, and always self-care. 😊🤗
Glad to see you like sup boarding. I do too. The trick is to have the paddle slightly twisted towards the board when pull from front to back. This sends some of the water under the board which keeps you going straight. A bit difficult to explain but give it a go. You’ll soon be pulling on your dominant side most of the time.😊😊😊
Ok this I need to try net time i am on the board thank you! I got a crippling should pain from paddling one side too much 🫣☺️
Thanks for your inspiring video myself and my dog Rex are off to see the Donkeys at Sidmouth today.
lovely I hope you had a great day!
That looks great fun, and relaxing too. I think we all need a release where we have to concentrate on what we are doing, and forget our day to day lives. BTW, you are so good at chatting to the camera, it really feels as though we are there with you (as we are in spirit of course).
Thats my neck of the woods, - I work in Guildford and often wander down to the river for some peace and quiet at lunchtime.
It’s true, it can be so hard to find something where your mind isn’t still torturing you, I used to do CrossFit which was amazing because it’s just so damn painful there is no room in your head for anything at all! Thanks, it’s definitely an improvement over my first videos it used to feel incredibly awkward and it sure showed. Do you, I guess Guildford wasn’t too much further up. I think there supposed to be a ruined chapel a bit further up have you seen that? I definitely paddled far enough for one day infact I have crippling neck pain now 😅 but I might go back to walk and swim further up.
St Catherine's, between Guildford and Shalford. I have walked past a few times when I lived in Guildford. Quite a way from Godalming on a paddleboard I expect.
@JamesandRibble I think I’ll try to park somewhere a bit closer 😅
Love the meloncolly back ground folk slide guitar sound track.
Thanks, I loved the songs on this one too ❤️
Such a beautiful adventure. Panic attacks are horrible. I got it for some time when I was in my twenties due to a severe event in the family. Luckily they became less severe during some time. I became aware that it wouldn't kill me, and then I focused on just enduring the attacks when they happened and else to consentrate on good things. Just like you are doing now. I am now 70 and have been fine for many decades 😊
Thank you!. I am so glad that you have recovered, it’s like you say at first you really think you are going to die, and gradually you just start to find a way through ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff I hope you'll be well again soon. Just don't rush it 🥰 Stress never helps 🙂
Hello Victoria, plainly transparent that you wore the Yankee cap thinking of me ,your most smitten fan! Regarding panic and anxiety, a neurologist suggests ,cold shower, ice pack down your back ,put your face in cold water ect. I'm glad the swim helped! Good music again. The very best is on the way to you. Cheers , Tom (the Yank)
😅 of course, always thinking of you! Infact I need to get a new one I think my head has grown I can barely get it on! Argh I cannot abide cold showers but I dare say you are right. An ice pack down my back! Isn’t that just torture?!
@@missnancysdayoff the doctor said that the idea is to shock your nervous system out of the panic. So it’s rather like first aid. Mindfulness is so important,so that’s good. Love the Nancy graphics. The D3 from the sun is vital. Your baby blues are all the therapy this man needs. Good afternoon.
@tommylandbeach8049 i like that thought, it’s first aid, I’d better do it! I can see that though shocking yourself right again. I’m glad you liked Miss Nancy, I don’t want her getting left out it’s her channel after all 🥰
I thought you did amazingly paddle boarding Tori 🏄... no imoji for that 😜. I love canals... so peaceful... most of the time anyway 🐾😁. Loved how you filmed the dragonfly etc... beautiful. Going for our first swim in the sea tomorrow... a bit late I know but I'll be thinking of you and how brave you are swimming in rivers, lakes and canals 🙏👍🥰😘
Thank you! Ha I know they need some new ones. The canal is very peaceful bless you try t do something where it would be better if you were undisturbed 😅🐕 thank you, the dragonfly’s were amazing there! I hope your swim went well, it feels like forever since i was in the sea, it definitely makes swimming less daunting when you can come out into a bit of sunshine 🌞🥰🙏🤗
@@missnancysdayoff Enjoyed our swim but it was quite quick 😜😂.. Felt good after though 🙏🏊💖😘
I’m really looking forward to when you at some point,put out a video, and say you’re ready to get another dog. I think it will do you the world of good, and give you something to focus on, and start a whole new chapter in your life, with new adventures. I think your anxiety will ease a ton as well. Take care of yourself. 🙂
It worked for us when we lost our first rescue too soon. We knew what we meant to the dog when we got her out of the rescue centre and we knew more dogs like her come in every day. You naturaly question if it's too soon but life is quick enough as it is, sometimes you have to make decisions even though you're not sure it's time.
We never forget our last dog, never. They all keep that place in your heart and the memories are still there. But seeing the joy of another rescue and living that happiness with them, adding more new memories, it is so worth it. And as you say we get benefit too from that companionship. It's win win.
Honestly me too, there is nothing else i can think of that i look forward to like that ☺️
I wholeheartedly agree with this. It’s a special gift to give, and also to receive, and I can’t wait to experience it again.
@@missnancysdayoff 😊👍🏻
Lovely vid.
I just bought a kayak.
I m a noob
But it’s great
Buying cam soon!!!
Thank you! That’s awesome if i had anywhere to put it I’d have one too, it’s fun being a noob i try to stay that way forever 😅
Hi its so good to see you showing a bit of my part of the world can i say if you paddled on a bit more just outside of Guildford there is a place called St Catherine,s there is a spring were you could have filled up your water bottel hope you canshow of Surrey as its not all motorways take care sweet lady 🚣♀🙂👍👍
I think I’ve read about that I want to go, sounds like another trip is needed! I didn’t know about the spring though sounds perfect. Thank you I will try, your right it’s not it’s beautiful although I cannot deny I find it infuriating at times how many people there are 🤣🫣
PS. I also know Surrey, West Sussex, Cornwall 11years and know Hampshire ! I recognise the places you go, you are awesome, may your anxiety go away please, for I have recently found it but then I am 67yrs , I't could be worse , you deal with it sensibly and more power to your elbow, I look forward to seeing your puppy 😀
☺️ thank you
Lovely spot.
❤️
Thank you for sharing the trip, the weather and river views were great. Good to see how to use a paddle board, I won one (worth £600) a while back, still haven't unpacked it - shame on me!
Sorry to hear about your anxiety 😞
I have experienced panic attacks - you feel like you are going to die the first time you have one, as they hit like a bolt from the blue!
After the first you are always on first alert for any of the subtle symptoms, which is what you allude to in the video.
Getting outside as much as possible in my free time has been a great help for me, and I guess for you too.
Tori, you mention dogs knocking your cameras - the Universe is at play here, surely 😉
I’m glad you liked it! Sounds like it’s about time to get that paddleboard out 😅that’s it, the first time i had one i literally thought i was dying it was nuts. Then you get really paranoid every time you feel a bit off. I’ve come a long way from there thankfully, but still a real struggle sometimes. I do think getting outside can heal most things, I’m glad you find it so. Ha es the dogs are saying quit your filming and live in the moment!
Tori - Amazonian Queen! ❤😊❤
Sound good to me! ☺️❤️
sorry to hear you're feeling like that. Its tough.
Thank you ☺️
Hello Tori.
Loved the intro of Miss Nancy❤
Beautiful👌
What a gorgeous day you had.
I think you might have given a few people a heart attack this morning 10-20 seconds in😂
Sorry to hear about your battle with anxiety.
It's pretty new for me, only the last 1 year, that's why I walk more and more because it helps me.
It was nice to see you swimming,
I'm sure you'll get to use your expensive water bottle soon.
You captured some beautiful moments in this video, good music too and the birds were signing. Great video.
Really enjoyed it. Glad you felt a little better by the end.
Monkey brain)😁👍
Keep moving forward👏👏👋❤️
Hello, thank you! Did you see her at the very end as well? That was a new one. She tells me she doesn’t want to be left out and I totally agree. Haha what was happening me wrestling with the paddleboard?! It puts up a fight those batons are the worst 🤣
I need to walk more. Since I left Cornwall I have not been getting out much and it has not been helping no doubt about that. When I was walking the coast path I was still miserable but it was also calming.
I think I need to break myself in with the water bottle with a body of water that just looks a bit cleaner, a nice Welsh mountain lake would do!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it, I will try ☺️🙏❤️
Sorry for the slow reply.
Of course I watched it all😁
I love the end and her waving, beautiful, she became part of you, you never need to lose that.
Today I was walking a mountain no filming just a walk.
I'm out filming on lake and camping there Thursday.
It has so much there.
I can swim and play there.
Walking is so good.
I've been reading a book by Julia Bradbury walk yourself happy.
It talks about the benefits of being outside. It's really good.
The lakes here are clean, so many waterfalls and I think you pick up even more subscribers. Love to see you in Wales one day.
I'm driving back in minute.
Later tonight I'll watch an older video of yours and comment.
Your new video is really good, you are so easy to listen to.
I know you'll be busy with your many many replies to this video.
I'll comment on an older tonight.
No need to reply I know you'll be tired❤👋
I’m glad you liked my waving Nancy that was my favourite bit 🫣 i think getting out for a walk and not filming anything is so important also, I’m kinda missing out on that at the moment. Are you in south or north wales? That book sounds good I should look it out. I really liked your last video infact i should right this there instead!
@missnancysdayoff
Hi Tori.
I think it's great you keep it in.
People that have watched you see you both together and it's right you keep it in.
It's a beautiful thing.
I was putting up one video a week.
Just rushing around and lost the enjoyment of why I go out.
I've slowed right down on filming.
One a month and a few shorts.
For a small yourtuber my shorts do pretty good. They pick up people that then watch the longer one.
I prefer making shorts.
Last night I camped at Llyn y Fan Fach.
I had lots planned, I was going to lots of silly things, running, swimming, jumping in. A woman from Spain watches and she has Cystic Fibrosis, she's not well.
I said I would run and play for her on a short. I was using the OneRepublic song I lived, the boy on the video has CF.
Instead it rained and rained.
I filmed some but the full hike and a few trigs, crashed plane site etc would take 5 hours.
I walked to the lake,40 minutes and cooked for bit it rained🤦🏻😁
I left about 7.30am this morning.
I'll go back and finish it Mon or Tuesday.
She was looking forward to the short.
I'm from South Wales. I mainly walk Brecon Beacons area, Pen y Fan is 35 minute drive for me.
Snowdon is about 4hrs 35.
I love the Brecon Beacons, so many places. North Wales is stunning it's just not as easy for me to reach.
I'm going back soon though.
I fell in love with it.
It's more like Scotland huge mountains everywhere.
This year I have few more mountains camps in the Brecon Beacons, a beach one New Quay West Wales.
Camped the once. That's nice place dolphins and seals. Very small but pretty place. The Shropshire Hills and then Scafell Pike and Helvellyn camp there too.
You don't need that book now after reading all of this😂🤦🏻
I try hard when you put a new video not to say so much.
I talk like I write too😁
Yesterday I was talking to everyone walking up the mountain, have you seen the crashed plane? I shared some funny Welsh mountain names with 3 girls and we all had a good laugh.
I told them I've been up Lord Herefords knob and Fan y Big😂
Everyone in England walks up there and says it wrong. I don't know why but I find it hilarious every time.
In Welsh F is V so it's Vanny Big not F😂
Right time for me to shout up again.
Keep sharing your videos, you speak very well and share nature beautiful. Some I watch sound boring, you never do.
Keep smashing it💪👋❤️
im so sorry to here your feeling like that , i can,t say i know what its like and you seam a lovely woman , so greatings from cornwall
Thank you, and greetings to Cornwall! 🙌
The Hapiness Trap is a book worth reading.
Thank you I will look it up!
I cant get over your legs haha driving me crazy 💪 go on lass smashing it 🐝
😅
Hello from America, I suffer from anxiety and depression for over 35 years. I just hope yours is not as worse as mine is. Great video 📸
Hello! I’m really sorry to hear that, it’s not easy. I’m glad you liked the video 😊
I know it wouldn't be safe but I could have quite happily laid on the board fell asleep & just drifted away 😃
I’m not going to lie I think my favourite thing to do on the paddleboard is just lie down and have a nap 😅
Very cool lady..❤
Thanks Tori. The nice hot weather on the video that day has cheered us up. It is a bit grey up North today. Just to let you know, that Debs and I got Max the Lhasa Apso (gardening gloves?) euthanised yesterday. He has been very poorly recently and would not have lasted much longer. He has been our best friend and beloved companion for almost sixteen years. He assisted with our mental wellbeing (and my mums) all throughout his life. The convention is to wait a while before getting another dog. However, I have spotted an unwanted adult dog on the internet and I am in early discussions with Debs. Best wishes Michael
I’m glad to cheered you although honestly it was a bit much hot! I am so sorry to hear about Max. I am glad he had a long life but I’m sure that doesn’t make it any easier to loose him, your beloved companion for so long. I really am sorry you know I know how you feel. Well there are certainly many poor dogs out there in kennels waiting for someone to give them a home, and it’s great that you are able to do that if you decide the time is right. Have you ever thought about a greyhound. I hope you are both ok 🙏
I used to live near the river wey, fished it when I was a kid, was murky then. I can relate to the anxiety, I never used to have a problem, recently though things in life changed. It's not easy to deal with, but being in nature helps. Shame I didn't do something about it today.
I wonder if it is more murky now, i fear it is 🫣 anxiety is a strange thing and can definitely crop up at any time. I’ve not being doing so great about getting out into nature either, but i try to remind myself that everyday is a new opportunity to do it.
❤
I have used Audible and listened to Psychology books on my morning walks, they have helped massively. People who don’t experience anxiety/panic attacks don’t really understand how we feel, but it’s real, and I have learned to deal with it. Btw. I have been watching since we lost our lurcher about 15months ago. Time will heal you, then maybe the opportunity to own another dog will present itself.
I too have found most help by reading books that helped to explain what’s going on, i don’t think I’ve read a proper psychology one though. It’s very hard for people who haven’t experienced it to truly empathise. I am so sorry about you dog 😞 I hope you are healing, and that i will one day too.
I have a friend like you. Unmatched for positivity. I think the world of her and that makes her worse. She lives 50 miles away. Also I miss my dog Levi.
Levi ❤️🐾
Thanks for sharing Tori, not enough people talk about this subject and anxiety, which is why I felt compelled to leave a comment on this video.
Its the worst feeling in the world and not something I've ever had to deal with until recently and the last several years, as throughout my whole life up until then I'd never had any anxiety or nervousness and was just pretty confident in general in all situations.
However I have had full on panic attacks in the past, not so much these days, but I've been in the supermarket alone for example and started having a panic attack and had all those physical symptoms you mentioned and some times just had to leave my shopping and walk out.
Its a horrible feeling and before I experienced it for myself, likely in the past if someone had said to me they were having anxiety, I'd likely of just said, oh your being too soft and too sensitive or something like that.
Because until you experience it, you have no idea at all what it actually feels like.
I still have anxiety today some times but thankfully not so much the panic attacks..
Not sure why it starts for most people. I know why mine did however... Not sure if it will ever fully leave me now either? Just have to deal with it I guess..
That Monkey brain chatting away is sometimes very difficult to shut up!
Anyway thanks again for sharing, I think it's good if more people share their experiences and talk about the topic..
Because sometimes you might look at someone and think that they are so outgoing and confident and all that, but in reality you don't know what they have been dealing with or how they were feeling...
That’s right, it’s not at all about being soft it’s a real physical thing, and it has different causes for different people. I think you definitely can get over it or improve it so much you hardly notice it does take a lot of work and can take a long time though. Worth it of course to feel like we are back in the drivers seat 🙏
@missnancysdayoff Your right, I just never knew before and would of probably just dismissed people for feeling "anxious" before.. As I'd never felt that way myself.
But you learn when you experience these things for yourself.. So now I would say something completely different now if someone told me that..
I don’t think we ever can really understand something we haven’t felt, we can still be kind, but until you’ve experienced those feelings we can’t really know. I think tnat what makes it extra hard dealing with things like depression, anxiety etc. if you have a broken leg people can easily sympathise, but they just struggle to understand mental health things. It gives you a different perspective for sure.
@missnancysdayoff Indeed we should always try to be kind and sympathise with others.. Certainly learnt that more myself as I got a bit older and wiser..
Hope your well anyway.. 🙏
@missnancysdayoff P.S. like the music track at the start of the video.. The "Dead man walking"...
The important thing was recognising it was anxiety be cause I misunderstood it as maybe a heart or stomach condition initially until I found a doctor who actually diagnosed it. I've found certain medications can help, diazepam (short term) propranolol (beta blocker) now I take duloxatine and amytriptyline. But I think what you do getting out and about in nature is also very helpful. Nice video
It definitely can feel like there is something seriously wrong with you. I hope you are doing well, I am glad you liked the video 🙏
No doubt many of us in a similar "monkey brain" non
present moment mindset !
Given the current "narrative" surrounding us daily 🌍
Careful ingesting that water, or you might get a case of the "Foxy Fox Trots"
Awesome that you didn't get a puncture, been reports of sightings of a alligator in that stretch ! :)
Great vid Tori ❤
Thanks for making & sharing
It’s certainly damn hard to escape from the monkey!🐵 omg thankfully I kept my mouth firmly shut so no fox trots were necessary, but I do have a terrible back pain from paddling! So glad I didn’t get bitten in half by the gator! ❤️
Sending healing vibes to the back Tori ❤
Hi,proper Jacques cousteau stuff with the underwater stuff😂,a bit before your time with him im sure😊
🤣 oh yes, I’m sure the BBC will be phoning any minute wanting me on the next David Attenborough!
Sup border.. Stop being awesome. BTW electric pump is a life saver ;).. Get some smidge... Your anxious.. Well we gotta go for a van life trip with sup and wild camp adventure.. Free when u are.
.
🎉🎉
Ya burnt ya nose again Tor!!!
.
Pps. Dry sacks are awesome for sup boarding. Ya vegan.. I'm vegi.. 🎉
Keep the paddle close to the board if you paddle further out you are turning the board. I'll show you when I see you.
You two would make an lovely couplee even my husband agrees. You both seem to have the same outlook on life would to view a video of an adventure of you and Andy we have subscribed to both your lovely channels. Love Barbara x
@@englishblood1547 Er what do I owe you?! haha Thank you. No denying I like Tori, would love to go on Vantrip for a week or so, sup board, hike, and wild swimming week away in Anglsey/wales with Tori, we both have vans so would be great. Plus I would treat her to some Vegan burger and Coffee goodness. Ball is in Toris court. ..
Cheers. 😄
Anxiety and stress are common places in today's society. Mindfulness is a good starting point to fight back. I wonder if you're aware of how helpful your videos are? Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏😊
Sadly it’s true in The western world anyway. I really to try and prioritise the mindfulness stuff at the moment really. I’m so glad you like the videos thank you!
Ah, I lost my little Beddie wippet a few weeks ago , it’s so sad to suddenly discover all the things even just a walk is sad without them .
I’m so sorry 😔 Yes it’s true, everything becomes sad it’s really very hard.
You are soooo bloody gorgeous!!!!❤
I've had so much anxiety in my life, really quite bad breakdown a few years ago. No depression though thank goodness. You just have to get yourself out of it, it can take years. Relax the body and slow down when you can't cope. ❤
I’m sorry to hear it, it’s not an easy thing to deal with. You’re right though we do have to just pull ourselves out somehow and it certainly can take a long time. Thank you 🙏❤️
@@missnancysdayoff you're welcome. Cold swimming is supposed to be brilliant for anxiety, something I've never done. Good on you! I'm so much better than I used to be, honestly if I can improve anyone can. I live alone and am solitary, that's the best thing to be with recovering from anxiety. I had a big problem with supermarkets, but after a few months of being terrible (shopping every day because it's convenient) I realised I should go in, slow down, not whizz round because your instinct is to get the job done as quickly as possible. I instantly found supermarkets easier to cope with. Being alone forces you to do it yourself, then you get better. Carry on making the videos!
I do think the cold swimming does help. I am told cold showers do the same but I haven’t been brave enough to do that yet! I’m glad you been improving, you’re right sometimes slowing down is a lot more effective. Thank you I will try!
At least admitting that you have anxiety is the biggest hurdle to admit to. Well done for getting out there. If you think that is murky have a look at the river ouse at York or river trent. Visibility there is almost zero. Really like the music.
Thank you ☺️ oh that is alarming I haven’t I visited either the Ouse or Trent, but i was reading about wild swimming spots on the Ouse!
