In this article, we discuss the ultimate beginner's mindset for SUP and why it is the key to your success on and off the water.<\/p>\n
...<\/p>\n
At some point in our lives, we\u2019re all beginners...<\/p>\n
And as beginners, we struggle.<\/p>\n
Whether it be a sport, hobby, or even a new job...<\/p>\n
In the beginning, we're just not good at it. And that's okay...<\/p>\n
It's all part of the learning process.<\/p>\n
However, even though we know the struggle is part of the process...<\/p>\n
Some people still fail, while others succeed.<\/p>\n
Why is this the case? What separates those who succeed from those who give up?<\/p>\n
The right mindset.<\/p>\n
With the right way of thinking and approaching something new, you\u2019re guaranteed to succeed at a faster pace...<\/p>\n
And with continued success over the long run.<\/p>\n
This is certainly the case when it comes to SUP. Some people love the activity, have fun on the water, and continue with it for the rest of their lives...<\/p>\n
While others struggle, give up, and move on.<\/p>\n
Since we\u2019re all about enhancing your life with a water-based activity to improve your health, wellness, and social connection, we\u2019re very interested in cultivating a mindset for success...<\/p>\n
So...<\/p>\n
What does that entail? In this week's newsletter...<\/p>\n
We're going to discuss the ultimate beginner\u2019s mindset for SUP and why it\u2019s the most important step towards your success on the water.<\/p>\n
But before we get there, we have some great news!<\/p>\n

On the water, you are guided by action yet calm and aware in your mind.<\/p>\n At this point, you might be thinking, \"How do I create this type of mindset?\"<\/p>\n Let's get into it...<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What exactly is the Dunning Krueger Effect?<\/p>\n\n
