I booked a coastline cruise on a small boat to see the land from a different perspective
and enjoy the fresh sea air and a sense of freedom. Whilst waiting to board the skipper,
John, advised all passengers the sailing would be very ‘wobbly’ and gave us all a choice
whether to board or not. I was somewhat amazed as the sun was shining and the sea
appeared calm. I boarded the boat and we set sail. True to John’s word the boat rocked
from side to side, a bit like a fairground ride. The view was spectacular, and I had a very
enjoyable time.
When I reflected on the day I realized although the sun was shining and the sea appeared
calm, it was anything but! Many of us are extremely good at putting on a calm
appearance for the rest of the world to see but inside will be suffering from crippling
anxiety. You are not alone.
How do you face the world when you are feeling in turmoil on the inside?
