Last December, after 25 years I was reminded how relaxing it is to go to the beach after work. To lye on my back free floating, totally unmoored to the world —just bobbing around in the waves. Trusting I was safe but keeping an eye out for any bigger waves that could do me harm. Then to keep myself safe, I would simply dive under the wave and avoid its direct impact. Free floating is now my preferred mindful activity for the warmer months.
As I gazed over the horizon watching the random sets of waves, my muscles relaxed and looked for a new way to work. Suddenly, I realised my free floating had turned into the best core exercise I had ever done and with no effort on my part.
Give it a try and say goodbye crunches. Take you feet off the ground and free float. Go with the rhythm of the waves and focus on the horizon. It’s my favourite way to centre myself.
I LOVE the beach!! It is truly the best therapy for my soul!
Beautiful photos. ?And I love the beach – can walk it for miles ???
Yes walking on the beach is a relaxing experience all year round.
That sounds great but I would not trust my swimming in any ocean.
That’s the thing about floating you don’t have to swim. You walk out to a depth your comfortable at and then take your feet of the bottom. Instant floating. Other people and lifeguards are around so its safe. I don’t swim alone or in unflagged areas either.
