February is almost over and March is just around the corner. It’s time to think about my next experiment. I’ll publish more about my psilocybin experiment<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve been debating whether I should go gluten free for a month or learn how to surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In March, I’ve decided to learn how to surf. I’ve been living in Puerto Viejo for 2 years now and still don’t know how to surf. I have no excuses not to learn it. And now that my older son is 3, hopefully I’ll be able to pass on some of the teachings to him and we’ll be able to surf together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to do something more physical for once. I’m not so big on sports and I know that keeping my body in shape will help me in the long term. I’m feeding my brain with books, I try to keep a healthy diet, the only missing item is to exercise more. And since I’m not always so comfortable with my body, that will push me outside of my comfort zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every day I pass by the beach, see people surfing and think to myself that I should learn it as well. It’s fun or at least I expect it to be, otherwise people wouldn’t be there for hours waiting for the perfect wave. It’s inexpensive. Once you learn and own your surf board, the ocean is free to access (as of March 2020, you never know what new taxes the government will come up with.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n One reason I haven’t taken any lessons yet is that it feels kind of intimidating to be a newbie surrounded by all those professional surfer. It’s daunting. You get the same feeling when you hit a gym and don’t know what to do or where to start. I feel that this is the reason why many are not doing anything to get in shape. Not knowing how and where to start and fear of being judged. Time to adopt a growth mindset<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy surfing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
