1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Tapping a gang. This is Jay Glazier, Welcome into Unbreakable 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: and Mental Wealth podcast. Today's a mental health checkup, and 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: today is a much different checkup than I would have 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: had yesterday or a week ago or a week before that. 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: I've just been in a dark gray hole for a 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: good month. It started, I think I told you guys, 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: but the suicide of a really close friend of mine 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: who had lived with me, and after that just threw 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: me off my game. And where I made the mistake 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: because I stopped getting into all my routines and my rituals, 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: and I threw myself off. So instead of attacking this 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: and leaning into my rituals more, which I knew I 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: needed to do, I fell off it and I just 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: started going down to darker, darker, darker paths. Even canceled 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: my therapy session. And that's what happens a lot of times. 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: Week we start getting these things where we just almost 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: don't want to help, but man, we need to help. 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: The key to tot success is doing things when you 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: don't want to do it, when no one's watching. And 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: I felt do that for this past month. I'm back 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: on getting back on my routines. Today is a much, much, 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: much better day. I am planning to dive into my 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: rituals really strongly. And what I did was I scheduled it. 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: I made times no matter what, that's on my schedule 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: today and it's going to be for the rest of 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: the week. Get myself back going. The great thing is 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: that I have these rituals that I know works. I 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: have them at my disposal. It's whether I decided to 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: use them or not. That's a different question. So I 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: wasn't using them. Now I'm making that choice. Then I'm 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: going to use them and I'm not going to pull 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: away from them. But at the same time, too, I 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: do want to say I did lean into some teammates 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,279 Speaker 1: the other night. I told Michael Strand and Kurt Metafie guys, 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: I am off. I am bipolar right now. I am 36 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: not good. I realized I should have told them what 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: I needed those moments I didn't. But at least I 38 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: was able to tell someone at a work event or 39 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: if I was off, they could pull me away. I 40 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: told my wife. I told Michael Phelps, let's start leaning 41 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: into my teammates in the right way and they'll be 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: really get back on track. Rosie O the idea of, hey, 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: i't been doing your rituals. Let's get you doing your rituals. 44 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: Let's get you back on track. So hopefully this is 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: the start of me getting back on track for in 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 1: a really painful month. But gang, I'm work in progress. 47 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: I am perfect, I am beat it fully. I don't 48 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: think we ever will, and I'm good with that because 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: if I don't beat it fully, that will allow me 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: to continue to learn new ways to help beat this thing, 51 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: and then I can teach them to you, guys, coach 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: them up. Love you, guys. Let's keep walking this walk together.
