🏄‍♀️ What ‘phase’ of ‘surfing’ could you improve on, while riding the waves of life?

So, I have mentioned the Theory of The Surf of Life on my platforms and articles, with it’s various phases of surfing life’s waves:

Surfing • Wipe Out • Liminal Phase • Build Up

When I look at my own life over the pasts fifteen years though, I have become really good in the ‘Build Up’ phase: I’ve moved around, found one house after the other, made new friends in different cities, got hired for more jobs I can even name right now and keep meeting these interesting men.

However. At some point I keep ‘Wiping Out’, so I never really get that level of actually ‘Surfing’ life for an extended period of time. Something extreme always happens, and I have to rebuild my life from almost scratch. So, I took a closer look to the life events that happened over the years and I saw a pattern: I keep skipping the ‘Liminal Phase’, of rest, calm, quite and a time to heal and reflect.

What happens is: I am almost ‘Surfing’, ‘Wipe Out’ and go straight into the ‘Build Up’ phase, wanting to go for that next wave. But it is essential, that ‘Liminal Phase’, to gain strength for not just the ‘Build Up’ to the next set of waves, but also to stay on your board while riding that next big wave of life.

👉🏻 Is there a phase in this cycle of Surfing Life’s Waves that you have already mastered and what phase could use a little more practice?
