𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐮𝐩? Like, that everyone is judging you?
And, as a consequence, you 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 or 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠?
It’s not that nobody will ever judge you. For sure someone will.
But 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 (what another person is thinking) 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝗮 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭, that’s a problem.
Next time you catch yourself mind-reading, come back to one question:
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰?
Then put your attention back where it belongs: on your surfing.

You can be considerate, responsible, and still catch your waves in a crowded lineup.
This is for you if you pull back or don’t even try to catch a wave because you’re afraid of hurting yourself, hitting someone else, or making the wrong decision when it gets busy.
Assess the risk. Make your decision. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤, not the obstacles and the worst-case scenario.
Read through the slides to learn more, and 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 with helpful exercises to support you in making responsible decisions, catching waves with more confidence and process the feeling of shame/embarrassment after you’ve made a mistake.
