Getting Uncomfortable
Many of us have seen Laura Smith (along with her husband Paul) at our meets in Arizona. Both of them are fast swimmers and have a long list of accomplishments to their names.
But what happens when a swimmer takes on new physical challenges outside of the pool?
Laura write about this in an article she posted on the USMS website. It offers some great insights into the mind of somebody who took on new challenges...and struggled. She writes about how these new challenges enabled her to grow and gain new experiences. I highly encourage everybody to read it!
So get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to do the things that scare you. When you do that, you will begin to live life more fully and develop as a person.
