00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Tapping again. Welcome to Unbreakable Mental Health Podcast with Jaday Laser,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: and today is in mental health checking. Hey, it's Tuesday,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: and this is the time of the year, halfway through

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: my NFL training camp tour that my mental health really

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: suffers because I go from camp to camp to camp

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: to camp. I in Minnesota right now on the way

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis going for the vikers to the coach and

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: you could probably heart my voice. I go really early

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: in the morning, really late at night, and just now

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, Man, I'm just struggling right now.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted. But I actually told myself, Hey, you're struggling

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: because you're exhausted, so you're not just having a normal attack.

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: One thing led to this, so I understand it. So

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: if I put it out there for me to get okay,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: this is why I'm feeling this way, then it's easier

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: for me to handle and deal with the other. Thing

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I've made sure I've done on this road trip every

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: single day, haven't missed one time. Is my breath work,

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: my meditation, my gratitude list, my prayers. And the one

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: thing it's harder for me to do is work out.

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: On this trip so I'm trying to make sure I'm

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: forcing even my hotel room something. But I had to

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: make sure it's stuck with all the things I do

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: to keep my mental health going. But this trip is

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: really difficult. In the past, I would go in the

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: tank and I would just let myself be depressed, but

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of walk around as a zombie some camps. This time,

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm not so much doing that because I understand this

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: is why I'm feeling this way. I'm so run down,

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: so I tend to My depression tends to get a

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: little bit darker and deeper during these times. But I

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: also know that reach out to people. People are talking

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: to me about mental health on this training camp tour,

34
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: so that lists me up as well. But normally I

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: would be struggling an awful lot more and you hear

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: them just kind of rambling. Also, it takes away my

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: focus somewhat, but the exhaustion is real thing. I took

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: a kind of at four thirty this morning to head

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: to Unneapolis. I've been in I think, and I don't

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: know how when to see these the last couple of weeks.

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: I started my camp tour the twenty fourth of July.

42
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: Keep going to the thirty first of August. Folks, to

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: make sure when you know things are making you struggle

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: between the years, recognize them and know, Okay, it's not

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: real per se. I'm not just having a depressed mindset

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: right now. My anxiety is not through the ceiling just

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: because it's because I am working my butt off, putting

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: myself in these situations. Just make sure that you do

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: what you need to to keep your mental health above board.

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: As hard as it may be, as tired as you

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: may be, make sure you prioritize it. Let's keep walking,

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Let's walk together.
