Aja Naomi King Instagram – So let me tell you a little story. I woke up this morning and thought to myself, I want to try something new. I had never paddle boarded before and when you see other people do it in photos or videos it looks mad easy, so I thought that is what I shall try today. This story is already long so let me cut to the end… I CRIED!!! I paddled my behind out there on my knees and the second I stood up I burst into tears. I felt so scared. And I don’t understand why- I can swim, there are no sharks in this lake (🤣), it’s cold but I can handle cold. I don’t know why, but once I stood on the thing I couldn’t figure out the balance and I was frozen in fear and started crying and then I could only laugh at myself. Long story long, the second I could muster up the courage I worked my way back down to a sitting position and paddled back to shore, to safety in my irrational mind. I did not try again, but I know I will one day. I was utterly shocked by how afraid I was, and then I was kind of thrilled that I did something that truly took me by surprise. So I’m proud of myself for trying something new even if it didn’t go the way I thought it would. What are you all trying these days?
