I am physically active every single day - either a workout or jiu-jitsu training. I also read everyday and listen to a podcast on the way to work in the morning. For sleep assistance, I take a sleep stack influenced by Andrew Huberman, comprised of L-theanine, Apigenin, and Magnesium Threonate.

Meant to say also - I can't use CBD or THC products because of my profession.

A decade ago, my wrestling coach told me in order for me to get better I had to get stronger. I didn't understand but I also did not question. Any questions I had were irrelevant to the lesson he wanted me to grasp. I always showered in the morning, that's just what I did. He even offered to pick me up to save my energy. I learned quick that I had to adapt. I had to admit my backpack and day clothes the night before. When it was morning, dint get a shower just got to brush my teeth. I had to be squared away, his words were let your body give out not your mind. Next step in protocol, pull ups and inclined push-ups as fast as you can until you can't. When that kicked in my teammate spotted me on pull-ups. Coach made sure I felt the pain, he made sure I understood that it didn't get easier the more pull-ups it just came later. But when I needed to push through during a wrestling match I was familiar. I had been there before and I can push through and that's what mattered.

That's why mentally I still think I'm there, it's my ego. I can only finish the reps if I commit to it daily. The cold shower after a hot shower to decompress I never was conscious about until I watched a pro fighter speak on it and why he did it. It was just the process for me
