As muslims, we have the powerful dhikr.
Simply reciting it gives confidence, banish fears, and negative thoughts in our head.
When I couldn’t stand up for the first 15 minutes in the waters at a resort, two thoughts ran through my head:
- I can’t do this. I’m going to just kneel the entire SUP session.
- But I paid for this! I have to stand up! But…. the water’s too choppy….. 😖
Funny thing is that the life guard, a lady, trusted I would do well on choppy waters after hearing I’ve tried SUP, but never at the beach.
So yes, I was without a guard.
P/s: This SUP is actually a warm up to a SUP championship I’m attending at Thailand in less than two weeks in sha Allah. Since it’s a solo sport!
Start small first!
If you have a big solo trip upcoming, start small first, as a warm up, maybe go somewhere in your country that you’ve never been to! Aka why I was warming up.
this reminds me of how it feels to finally take that solo trip for the first time – SUPER SCARY!
