Ep.42 | Whose wave is it anyway?

Welcome back Mindful Surfers. This week we are chatting, good vibes at wave pools, summer crowds, queues, snaking, happiness, fixed states, control, fear and how good vibrations attract waves. We look at Eckhart Tolle, serotonin, over consumption of 24/7 news cycles and whether the happiest people are those who escape the addiction of wall to wall bulletins. Especially if they get out and get in the Ocean. We are attempting to take our own advice to take breaks from the mind numbing effects of s...

There is the pain of dropping the ‘surf shield’, getting comfortable with uncomfortable, ego challenges, training our weaknesses and starting with the hard stuff first.
