Extracurricular activities
I enjoy doing the most out of my time with more intense sports such as, snowboarding, surfing, and rock climbing as all of these require focus and discipline to learn from your mistakes, and practice to perfect your form, skill, or trick. While maintaining these traits are good, a good and healthy body also helps along the way by working out and journaling. Both improving my body for more physically and mentally demanding sports that I participate in.
