Swimming is said to be one of the most recommended exercise for all. Your geographical position does not restrict you in any way because almost every part of the world is entitled to a water body, being it swimming pool, the sea the popular ones, lakes, even rivers.

As a matter of fact, you are even investing as well, let me know the type of investing swimming could be.

If you are stressed, do not hesitate to adopt swimming for it is a very quick stress reliever.

Moreover, it is a form of improving upon your cardiovascular fitness and many other advantages, you can click here to know more about the advantages, but I am reserving one witnessed advantage.

For some time now I have been experiencing setbacks in my coding career, I have been procrastinating, skipping some important aspects, lacking regular exercises and have you.

I had an impromptu callup from one of my brothers to join him with his friends to a pool side. I had not tried swimming before but I could not resist this call and decided to join them to which was the same day after one of our busiest days of running our daily errands, it went down at one of the closest pool sides on a very sunny Sunday afternoon. Read to the end to watch the video.

On reaching the site, I did not want to swim again because I was terrified. I was terrified because that day would be my first-time swimming, because everybody will be swimming, I cannot just stand idle and give any excuse for not swimming so I ought to swim.

We jumped in the pool and I could see everybody happily diving down the pool while I was on the bank of the lowest dept of the pool spectating.

My brother noticed and found out I could not swim, he came to me and asked why I could not join the immediate fun and I just told him I could not swim. He told me I could swim but it was fear that had clutched me but nothing else and he told me he would teach me how to swim.

In the course of the training, his main route of the training was to deal with the fear because he found out that had it not been the fear, I would swim very easily and even better than some of his friends.

After a while in the process, nothing was working for both of us and so I told him to just leave me alone and have fun because that was his purpose of coming there not because of me. He left me but with a message that I should access myself, I found that reasonable and started assessment. I personally realized it was all fear and so I had to vigorously deal with it.

I called him back and assured him everything was going to work this, he also concurred and we continued with the training section, now things started to pick up and I saw myself overpowering the fear in me to help me swim and it worked like magic.

After an hour or two, my breath control and other aspects of swimming was good if not better.

To the surprise of my brother, I could swim within five hours and it was all because I overpowered the fear in me which was the devil in me.

After the swimming section, surprisingly, I had seen a rapid change in the form of my body as if I had gone to the gym.

Also, I started thinking about my coding career’s fall apart recently, and all the procrastination and lacking due to fear because I was afraid that career of mine could crashed which could end my life, I thought it was too difficult that coding is meant for the genius and those who have gone to college and other bootcamps for knowledge. And for that matter all my setbacks were due to fear.

This blog is to help you and I to know that fear is mostly behind most of our setbacks in life and so whenever you face any problem, assess yourself and if it is fear deal with it diligently because there are better days ahead.

Coding is simple if you want it to be simple.

Thanks for this section also.
