00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Mental health checking for today for Unbreakable Mental Health podcast

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: with Jay Glazer, and today, I am in the blue

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: because I have realized now that I'm really enacting a

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: lot of the things I've learned in this last year

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: and a half, two years on my mental health journey.

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: So here's the NFL draft, and I go crazy making

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: phone calls. It's NonStop. It's twenty four to seven. Bam, bam, bam.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm bouncing off the walls. You got

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: to pull me off the ceiling. But this week, and

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: it started Monday, I realize, Okay, every let's say two hours,

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: I now take five minutes to do breath work to

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: calm my nervous system down, to reload myself so I

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: can go back and fight again for the next two hours.

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: We're in the past, I would just kind of burn

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: myself really really, really hard and then thin and kind

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: of burn out by evenings end. And I'm not doing

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: that now. So I'm able to now realize, Okay, every

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: couple hours, take a little break. It's okay, calm my

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: nervous system down, and let's go back and continue to

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: have the same energy that I had for the previous

21
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: couple hours and it's worked, and that's what I'm excited about.

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: It's worked. It help me sustain throughout the day a

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: lot better. In the past when I start to get tired.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: When I get tired, yeah, gray starts coming out, I

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: get cranky, and it's a little difficult for me. Now

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: I've able to to have, like I said, a little

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: bit more sustainability because I have these skills. I have

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: these tools. So this quest for me to figure out

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: what's happened in this draft has actually been more enjoyable

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: this time around. And by the way, my first draft

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety one. I've been going at this for

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: a long time, doing it for ages, and I talked

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: to all thirty two teams and it doesn't stop, and

34
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: it is exhausting. And one thing that I do pride

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: myself on is my relentlessness, my work ethic. And people

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: used to say to me all the time, oh man,

37
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna burn out, You're gonna crash and burn. Well,

38
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: now I have tools to make sure that doesn't happen.

39
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: So if everybody out there at home, it's okay, you're

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: your desk, you listen to this right now. Once you're done.

41
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Take a five minute breather. It's okay. Let's build up

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: our soul a little bit, refresh our spirit, rest our minds,

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: just for a couple of minutes. Let's keep walking this

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: walk together
