 Nobody's special we have to work. I mean where the fuck should I really even start? I got hoes that I'm keeping in the dark. I got my cross the street living large Thinking back to the fact that they dead that I've wrapped was the facts that it sat with the past Bro, I wish I could play music that song stuck in my head. I love waking up with a random stuck in my head What's up? What welcome to friggin? Daily baby 71 we've been doing this for too many days, bro. I can't keep up I can't keep up but listen if the podcast stops being daily, which I think it will be soon because I got vacations and it's just I Got I got vacations, bro, and I got things to do but the thing is I got a lot of content I want to post I got my 40 to 42 point five. That's not really a podcast so Besides the daily if I keep it daily, I might just do I might switch it up and do like a five-minute morning podcast where I still do like the The structured kind of like just a nugget of the day the nugget farmer comes back And it gives you a quote of the day of like to keep your mind right because I do love that stuff And I do it anyway, so I'm trying to make my life more efficient, but this has been fun This has been great you guys have been great, but I have so much content for YouTube and I'm always on my dunk journey so I actually filmed my hamstring rehab yesterday me going to the gym and What I did and talking through what I'm doing for my rehab because I know a lot of people would want to see that And I think it's really good for my story when I come back So um So yeah, I'm gonna probably get back to just vlogging because those are really fun to do and I think It has everything in it has I can add my edits with it my fun edits I can Do some vlogging where I like talk to the camera But also like some fun workout mixes and dunk mixes and I'm almost back to dunking feeling pretty good My hamstrings a little weird. I don't really know but that's the plan So stay tuned and thank you for everything for this podcast You guys have been so awesome and it makes me want to do it every single day and Yeah, so I do want to do it frequently So like if I'm in a stretch where I'm home for a while and I'm also making a big change in my life coming soon So that's another reason why I got to focus on my life and you guys understand you guys have lives, right? You guys are living guys are breathing you guys are me So you guys should understand my thoughts because we're all the same person we're all in the same universe That's what we do and that's what we're doing it. So I have big changes coming up So I'm excited to share that with you guys as well Big news in the content world things like that. So I just can't say too much now But I am going to New York next week. So if you're in New York Saturday, I want to do a meet-up on Saturday I think that's the plan So, yeah, that would be really dope. I think it's gonna be I Don't know exactly where yet. Just follow my Instagram and I'll definitely be updating that But I would love to meet some people in New York. I have so many friends there So I got to make time for everybody friends and family. So it's gonna be tough But yeah, all that focus is there and that's another reason why I'm doing this podcast like I can't do it daily It's really because the other thing about daily is that I want a studio I can't always be in the studio every single morning of my life because I'm making moves, baby I'm I have a life and I live it I'm gonna come I call and collect You run about a minute on to the next really did it for me. So it says 20 million was the goal to the hit it I love that song man. I'm gonna be bumping if you watch my Instagram. Why did I just bump into that Rick Ross voice? I don't know working on my own raps. Um, and today I wanted to talk about Meditation and visualization for sports. I know I've talked about it a lot But I wanted to give two really good reasons to do it and keep it really simple and then go into detail So the first reason is the visualization I think is key to getting you to believe in your body to believe and it's a hundred percent necessary anything You've ever achieved you've believed you can do it and even if you didn't believe it and you got it done There was a piece of you piece of you that said I believe I can do it like it's possible If you ever thought something was not a hundred percent possible You haven't achieved it yet and hence why I suck at some certain I couldn't do a dunk for three years because it was a part of me like that really doubted that it's even possible But like the windmill I say is like I always thought it was possible It was just like I couldn't see myself doing it but at the same time I was like, oh, it's possible I just have to jump higher so I never like didn't believe it. It's it's very similar But a little bit different and number two and then also about what the visualization is So this is part one B the visualization when you Visualize yourself achieving something it changes the energy you're in right now So you visualize oh wow that dunk feels amazing to hit I get really energized and it fills you in the current moment with that adrenaline as if you hit it So like your brain doesn't know the difference between memories or future thoughts or current memories You know what I mean? So when you're thinking of a memory in the past it Ignites the same as if you're thinking of a future event your brain doesn't know the difference So if you're visualizing that dunk your brain actually thinks you completed it thus Changing your brain chemistry and your current energy level not like hype level But energy of like what you're producing as you go through the day and like what you're thinking about So your brain already thinks that's happened. So now you're you can believe in doing it your body believes too I have a whole podcast on that if you want to learn more about that and then the The second reason is the meditation if you practice meditation daily Then when you're in a contest when you're in a dunk workout even you're reminded to be in the moment So like sometimes when I'm about to go do a dunk is like I miss a dunk And I I line back up to do it again and I go nuts and then I realize oh wait take a breath Take like six deep breaths it lowers my heart rate Relaxes my whole body and puts me back in the moment It makes me focus on the dunk instead of like thinking like oh what if I don't hit this if I this is a good angle of my video What if I don't hit this for my video if I don't what if I can't do this done people are watching whatever it is Whatever it is is like you're you're focused all your attention on there And that's a really good practice because if you're meditating daily you get to Remind yourself it builds that awareness so when you're in moments in and out of sports any sport you're in it's like you Focus on that moment You're not thinking of external things you could be in the moment And that's the best way to be in the flow state performing your best and that's it and that's some friggin fire right there So yeah, I'm probably gonna keep this a little short today Feeling really good though hamstrings doing really good So if I know a lot of you guys want to see that vlog So I'm probably gonna try to get that edited today and maybe post it tomorrow instead of the podcast the vlog of my hamstring Make it fun to watch. I talked a little bit about my diet I talked about why I'm doing the hamstring rehab and what extra is them doing and why and just how I heard it all that type of thing And I look forward to making even better videos. So This podcast has been really fun. I'm not saying it's over today, but it might be but if I don't do it tomorrow I'm gonna do it when I can but I when I have nuggets to share might just be audio So if you're subscribed to the podcast there still will be content for the podcast It just might not be in video form and that's it and I like to produce the high quality audio It's hard to have this everywhere I go, but I could always have my phone something like that But I'm looking forward to it big moves coming. I got big stats coming on the way I got Lil max with me heat away in the next like I'm trying to stay paid When I thought put the money in the grave. Yo, that's so it's such a good song I want to make music now I go on waves as you can tell Sometimes I'm really into videos and there's a really into inspiration Sometimes I'm really into comedy. Sometimes I'm really into music, but that's why it's hard for me But all under one umbrella is energy, baby. I just want to go with that energy I want to provide that energy and I love it so much and I love making these videos. We're growing I'm learning so much about myself And I'm ready to do comedy, but like I said, I'm making that big transition in my life I guess I'm not ready to do it. I was still writing ready to go yesterday, but I was tired I went to the gym. I dunked the day before so I took care of my body as a priority and got some good sleep And I'm gonna do it when I have time So this is like this is what I wanted to say to end it is that like I said with the other things like the Compound effect you guys know I want to do it if you're a fan of mine right now and you're watching in the future When I free time a goal of mine is to do stand-up comedy for real And the only reason I want to do that is because I want to bring more joy to the world And the thought of doing that is so fun and but I have to work to get there So just like dunking is like you want to jump 50 inches But you you have to do all the work associated with it to get there Whoa, sorry about that you have to do all the work associated to get there You have to go in the lab you have to lift you have to do all the grunt work that sucks some people like it I like it too, but you have to know that it's coming for that So when you guys see me go in the lab for so long and then jump higher you see all the things I went through so same thing with comedies. I'm gonna be working and maybe do some Spots here and there like open mics here and there but in long-term my life. That's what I want to be doing That's that's how I know I'll be living the life I want to do is I get to do that when I want and get good at it and practice those things that I love to do So creating content and just maximize my life.
