Re: Getting too old for this...

Hi,

I´m 34 and i don´t really feel i´m getting older. Of course somethings had changed with time, mentally (maturity) and physically (maturity..... :-) ).

I´ve been a SCUBA diver for about 6 years and Freediver for just 11 months, so, i can´t feel any lost in my skills, i´m just getting better. Perhaps i´m lucky, but deep inside i think i should started younger.

When i saw this year Niza females results. I got very motivated, was then when i realized that the Freediving barriers are more mental than physical, so, i´m pushing my self a little bit harder.

What i´m doing to improve my skills is just keeping fit, practising some yoga, swimming some times, taking care of my feeding (not too much sugar and carbs) and getting the more information i can from the sources i have (books, deeperblue.net, instructor,....).

I´m sure every one has their own opinion on getting old, but i´m convinced that aging is a mental thing with physical consequences. It is a beautiful part of our journey through this planet.

Sigi...
