🌊 MONDAY MOTIVATION: JUST KEEP SWIMMING! 🏊♀️
From Fiona M**h
I’ve always loved swimming. Give me a lake, river, pool or even a paddling pool and I’m in! 😂
A recent trip to Slovenia reminded me just how much swimming — and being active — is central to my physical and mental wellbeing.
Slovenia was never somewhere I’d really considered visiting, but a friend mentioned a coached swimming trip there and, before I knew it, I was hooked! 🇸🇮
I decided to take it at my own pace and made the most of every opportunity to get in the water.
💙 Lake Bled was busy, beautiful and breathtaking.
🌿 Lake Bohinj was quieter, wilder and the perfect place to escape.
And then, on my last day in Bled, I plucked up the courage to swim out to the little church on the island! 🏊♀️⛪
I’m not going to lie… I felt pretty pleased with myself when I got there! 😂 And obviously, the Bled cream cake afterwards was an essential part of the recovery plan! 🧁😉
For me, swimming is meditation. It clears my head, makes me feel good and reminds me that sometimes the best challenges are simply about trying something new and stepping outside our comfort zone.
And guess what? I’m already planning my next swimming adventure — Austria next year! 🇦🇹
So, your Monday challenge is this:
What have YOU done over the holidays that pushed you, challenged you or made you feel proud? 💪
A hike? A bike ride? A swim? A new class? Climbing a mountain? Or maybe just doing something you never thought you could?
📸 Post your pictures below and tell us about it!
Let’s fill this post with your adventures, achievements, muddy shoes, sweaty selfies and big smiles 😂
Let’s paint a pretty picture of what we can achieve when we just give something a go ❤️
Happy Monday everyone🌊💪
