Five Lessons I've learnt from Freediving - Michael Crush

Lesson 1:

My body and mind are capable of far more than I ever thought possible.

Lesson 2:

When negative self-talk enters the mind, override it with something more positive and truthful.

“You’re not gonna make it” to “Focus on what you’re doing. You got this!”

Lesson 3:

My body belongs in the water. It makes natural adaptations for deep dives. The ocean is the birthplace of all life on Earth, including mine.

Lesson 4:

When I feel the urge to breathe, I still have plenty of oxygen. It’s just the carbon dioxide buildup and that’s healthy to build a tolerance to.

Lesson 5:

The Ocean is a fantastic place. And as a species, we aren’t treating it right. It’s up to all of us to protect it. I don’t have all the answers to this lesson yet. I just know I want to do more than sit idle.
