    Great vlog, it’s so well put together. I can see I’m going to enjoy this journey. Sending a hug as it was quite emotional in parts for you.

    Don't be to hard on yourself, fear of certain things is our natural instinct to keep us safe, the fact you travel alone is brave ❤

    That body scrub was keen, I think it’s taken one of your tattoos off 😂
    Have you tried inland surfing at one of the wave centres? It’s a controlled environment and a good place to build confidence.

    dont be too hard on yourself for the surfing probably just jet lagged!! I ended up giving up on the surfing after starting to take lessons as I just can't get up quick enough due to knee issues ! switched to paddle boarding which I love and my dog comes along too ! absolutely love it and a great way to see the coast line, sea life and a great way to get to some secluded beaches, even catch some knee highs on the way in sometimes ! stopping doing one thing gives an opportunity to try something else ;)

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. If we pushed through every fear we had, there would be nothing stopping us from jumping off a cliff or sticking our fingers in a power point. Fear is also a protective factor in our lives, it can stop us from getting seriously injured. It doesn’t mean we are living a smaller or less meaningful life if we listen to some of our fears.

    Wow Bali really looks so lovely cat . The spa was such a relaxing place honey. So many things to do . Your not a big pansy the ocean is scary place big hug 🫂 pic the right day your tired do some relaxing things. Sunsets so romantic omg . Good luck 🍀🍀🍀❤😊🫂🙏

    You certainly aren't a woose, regarding the surfing! You have travelled to Bali on your own. Thats an achievement. Stay safe Cat.

  • @LovelyFish-wg1dq
    @LovelyFish-wg1dq หลายเดือนก่อน

    Lack of sleep is a killer. Very disorientating. Obviously jet lagged, travel induced. When you settle, feel safe it'll resolve itself. Takes a while in a foreign environment, sometimes never! Put the surfing to one side. Yoga will help, running too. Thanks for posting, great to experience Bali, as is.

    Hey, the ocean is a very scary thing, beautiful but takes no prisoners. I’m a fairly good swimmer but you’d never catch me doing much more than paddling. Put things in perspective your a lone beautiful lady that’s got the balls to go to Bali on your own ! I doubt I could do that ! 54 year old male tradie 🙈😆

    One of places I’ve always wanted to visit Bali looks ace 🩵✌️🙏
    All that £5k £10k would definitely seem strange to me also 🤦‍♂️ i remember the bali booming on the news tragic 💜🙏
    That memorial looks so peaceful and fitting to remember those who unfortunately lost there lives can see it being emotional 🧡🙏
    That spa looks amazing 🤩 🙏
    And that hostel for a tenner a night looks cool and looks very clean have wounderful time much love Johnny 💛✌️🙏

    Likley many factors increasing your fear. Even smaller waves in bali will have more power than those experinced in the uk. Wave power in uk is also very variable. Going with a friend 1:1 might be good to restore your confidence. Im currently in west wales. Mostly waves very soft. If for some reason you find yourself in this area get in touch. Happy to give some support in the water

    Bali was my second home before the bombings. It was nice to see it again. I miss Uluwatu, Dreamland and Ubud, but Im guessing its all different now. Be extra careful running at night at the beach ❤

    Awww babe, I’m sure you are feeling ok by now ❤ Have you tried hypnosis to retrain your brain from your fear. You are great at so many other things, if you don’t continue surfing it’s because it’s just not for you, but there are plenty of other things that are ❤

    I wonder if you’re scared of something specific in the ocean- maybe you’re afraid of drowning or of sharks? Tiredness amplifies anxiety… I’m too scared to go in because of sharks 😂 although I love the ocean- it sucks ps- your vids are my antidepressant (with coffee) as so relatable

    Don’t beat yourself up with your fear , we all have fears in life , many people fear my bad humour but to be honest I don’t blame them for that , they only have to listen to it , can you imagine what it’s like for me having it in my head all the time now that is fear probably why I have so many nightmares. Look at the benefits of this video = we got the bikini shot so life is good then = your fear are others delight .

    If ya wanna blow your head off street is the way 😅🥵. Lovely vid, nice to see you in the warmth & away from the wet south west. My first triathlon was perranporth many years ago & even tho it was advertised as a surf tri I didnt twig (genuinely thought it was sponsored by a washing powder 🫣). Boy was I humbled by the ocean that day, I found meditating the shit out of life helped with my fears generally….just gave me the space to allow it, be in it & not bolt energetically. Have a wonderful time, not jealous at all 🤥
