What is your biggest motivation right now?
I’m brought up in competitive swimming so most things I do reflect my strong motivation in always trying to improve. As long as my motivation will result in any good, I’m happy to keep striving for improvement.
I’m motivated by different things in life and I consciously try to steer my motivation and focus towards things that bring me and other people value. For example my main focus is to spend time with my family and strengthen the relationship by spending quantity time with my kids. In contrast to quality time - a saying I heard a lot when I had kids and early saw through. Kids don’t care about quality, they need quantity.
(That can be hard as we’re living in busy times and I’m also pursuing a career where I’m motivated to improve my public speaking skills and deliver valuable messages I learnt in my swimming career on how to perform and live well with balance and how to keep motivation and longevity in performance at its best.) - kanske ta bort detta?
When did you realise water was your element?
I think my parents noticed it first. They saw how happy I was after swimming and helped me to spend more time in the water. So for me it was natural. Water has been a part of my life almost everyday since I was 4-5 years old.
The feelings of joy and presence I have when swimming and finding my rhythm and flow is bliss and to me I often feel like this is the closest feeling one can have to flying.
