It’s been really hard to just relax. But man does it take a lot of trial and error to figure out how to calm my brain down.

This is my fear

This is my fear

I was so scared that I wouldn’t be able to learn the skills….greatest fear was that I’d never be able to dive. It sucks

Everything in diving is mind over matter. I have seen more students bail out of classes over mental blocks than physical limitations. Short of running out of gas, if you don't mind, it don't matter.

Oh there were days I was questioning why the hell I ever thought I could do this. Usually it’d be the days in between classes that it hit the worst. Super grateful I didn’t give up though

And now you have gained confidence. That will make your upcoming dives even easier. You'll ace the course!

Right! Everything after this is just perfecting my skills

 

[kaylee_ann]

Just keep working on it so you can ace the timed test for Dive Master and your way to Instructor. Doesn't hurt to set lofty goals.

My goal is to do technical diving someday…people say it’s a bit ridiculous

I think it’s the commitment to persevere and suceed is what makes the difference, at least that what I keep telling myself

I agree. your desire, passion and work ethic has to outweigh the anxiety and self-doubt.

Way to stick with it. My preference is for the smallest steps to have as continuous progression. Each step is getting closer to the end goal.
And who knows, you might be doing something like diving ancient wrecks below 100 meters one day.

Honey, people said that of ME. Gotta be a stubborn b***h. Tell the haters to eff off.

thanks! omg I'd love to do that kind of stuff. wrecks are one of the things I'm most excited to see.
