Today we had our first ever ROCKtreat, an exclusive by-invite only event for special friends and regulars of the #RockTheNakedTruth community.
A few weeks back, they received the invite to ROCKtreat, with no idea what they were in for. The invite pack gave a clue to what they were heading into – sunblock, aloe vera gel, wet wipes and deodorant. Everyone was curious and at the same time, a little worried about what was to happen. Standup paddling race? 4-hour HIIT? What’s up?!
Everyone turned up at Sentosa and were given a card that said: “THE BEST WAY TO GAIN SELF-CONFIDENCE IS TO DO WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO“, but still without a clue as to what was happening.
A round of introductions later, it was time to set off to the jungle for adventure!
That’s right – ROCKtreat #1 is a confidence-building activity, to help everyone overcome their fears and realise that they are stronger and braver than they think. Up to the trees we go for the treetop high-elements obstacle course ClimbMax!
They came, they gulped, they conquered.
There were three levels – 5 metres, 10 metres and 15 metres off the ground. At all times everyone is secured to the harness that will catch you if anyone were to slip and fall. However, some were absolutely terrified.
Throughout the process, we saw some life-changing moments. Some people were scared to tears, some didn’t think they could do it, some wanted to back out. But despite all that doubt and uncertainty, along with a lot of tears and screams of fear, everyone overcame their inner demons with the support from the group, finally digging deep to find stronger belief in themselves to complete the challenging course.
The braver warriors then went on to do the 15-metre ParaJump, taking that leap of faith off the ledge.
Rounding up the event was a Flying Fox down the MegaZip back to the beach – a little reward after all that work up in the trees.
So… today I hope everyone learnt that YOU are stronger than you think; so don’t set limits to yourself. You can overcome your fears and find the confidence within yourself. Believe more in yourself; you can achieve what you want to.
No one knew what they were coming for, nobody had any clue of what was happening, but they went ahead and did it anyway. Heart in mouth and all. Give yourselves a round of applause and a pat on the back. YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!
