RE: The Ultimate "Flow": Scientists Find Out That Peak Experiences (Like Surfing) Can Prevent Suicide

in #science7 years ago

Surfers, in general, are friendly healthy and well-rounded people that are fun to hang out with. I suppose it is the nature of the sport, long periods of time alone patiently waiting on a good wave, dealing regularly with disappointment when they don't come even after long to trips to get to a certain spot. Being able to get along and share when too many people are in 1 location ( mostly LOL). Plus you're not only enjoying nature but actually becoming one with it in a vey personal way.
All great ways of caring for your mental health
Great blog, Thanks

Thank you, @codypanama!
You are absolutely right. Especially the will to constantly deal with failure and keep trying strengthen ones mindset considerably.

At my place I'm fortunate. My local spot is so big that there is enough space (and enough waves) for everybody. It rarely happens that two fight for the same barrel 😉
Again thanks for your valuable addings, I very much enjoyed the read!
