A friend of mine, who lives multiple hours from the nearest coast, has a rule for whenever she’s by the sea.
Go swimming every day. Rain or shine. Hot or cold. Whether you feel like it or not. Almost always, you’ll be glad to have done it.
I call it the salt water rule, and I try to follow it.
I’ve previously shared ‘[The Tail End]’ by Tim Urban, in which one of his points is we have fewer experiences left—such as swimming in the ocean—than we think.
The salt water rule is a simple way to get rid of inertia, and get more out of life. Especially when you apply the principle to more than just swimming in the sea!
