Rafting; navigate yourself

Hi Hive Lovers

An activity has multi-dimensional benefits for a person. This applies to the extent to which you involve yourself in the activity. Like, the rafting sport that I just joined.

Each rubber boat consists of a team consisting of 4-6 people (depending on the size of the boat). Each person is in a different position: in front, behind, on the left, and on the right. One person acts as a leader, called the captain. Although each person's position and role are different, Everyone communicates and coordinates with one another to realize the mission.

Rafting is a type of team activity that requires sound decision-making and cooperation. This sport requires quick analysis of river rapids conditions, synchronization of team members' motor movements, one rowing command, and an understanding of risk management.

Rafting is a very enjoyable means of relaxation, and it touches all aspects of the personality of a person who is navigating a river route full of challenges, just like navigating your own personality. In general, I noted two main points that exist in aspects of a person's personality when rafting.

1. Confidence

Everyone who is on a rubber rafting boat is a team, a unit of individuals who have their own roles. Each of you has a unique role in helping your team.

When each of you is on a rubber boat and each of you is holding a paddle, then you will have the best level of self-confidence. With your self-confidence, you will control and guide yourself first, and that aims for success with your team so that it is safe and secure to arrive at the end.

2. Self-control

Rafting is an activity full of challenges and high risks. For some people, challenges and risks are a source of worry and self-doubt. On the other hand, for others, challenges and risks are a source of passion, excitement, and overconfidence.

These two types of feelings are those that can interfere with the smoothness and safety of the rafting experience. If you are too worried and not confident, or vice versa, if you are too enthusiastic and too self-confident, it will pose a danger to you and your team. Sometimes someone is encouraged to take on every challenge and risk much more without considering the abilities of the team.

You must always carefully analyze challenges and quickly make decisions by considering your abilities and the abilities of your team. The ability to control yourself while rafting is a must for the trip to be successful and enjoyable.

I took all the photos of my rafting activity only with my #SamsungGalaxyS22 cell phone camera. Many photos failed because I didn't have a stabilizer stick and just held it with my hand while going against the river current.

Not everyone has the opportunity to take part in this type of challenging sport. Rafting requires physical and mental involvement when you go through it, and the benefits are not only for your physical health; they even provide benefits for your mental health.

If you have done it, how do you navigate your personality when you are crossing the river during your rafting activity?
