My favs from @swellsculpture on a beautiful morning at Currumbin Beach #peopleart #lovethebeach #artflow @ Currumbin, Queensland, Australia
I watched this interview on Nova 106.9 late last night and found it heart-wrenching, like so many other Australians who have watched or listened to it. In this follow-up interview Susie O'Neill gave today to the Sunrise breakfast show, Susie talks about how light and positive she feels now about her Sydney Olympics experience. Her advice? Simple gems:
"Celebrate your successes more and process your disappointments sooner rather than later", and "Let's be kinder to ourselves".
Champion of the pool, and Champion of life, you are one incredible person, Susie O'Neill.

Susie O'Neill breaks down watching her 2000 Olympics 'failure'
Susie O’Neill has broken down after reliving the moment that continues to haunt her to this day.Sometimes we develop our ability to focus with our eyes open, and sometimes with eyes closed. In today’s meditation mini-retreat, we practiced both, and learnt about tapping into flow state through focusing our attention in the present moment.
