Before plunging into the pool, it is important to pause for a while and set your intention. This will be my pre-swimming ritual.
Rituals are potent, and it will therefore do you good to establish one. In my experience, rituals can prepare the mind and body when facing challenges.
When done properly and intentionally, rituals — however small they may be — place you in a certain state of mind from which strength and determination can flow.
They can make you brave, but also kind to yourself. They help you let go of the things you cannot control.
