 It's Monday, it's early, we're up, what's up, I've got both legs, both arms, both thighs, feeling good, I slept seven hours and one minute. That's after, that's after it. So I really slept like eight, bro, it's seven quality. What's good? Welcome, Dunk Life Daily, I said this yesterday, I dunked yesterday, actually it was a lot of fun day before I dunked as well. We're not dunking every day, goes into yesterday's, I'm just saying what I'm talking about. Dunk Life Daily's progress daily, it's energy every morning, God I have a lot today. I dreamt about dunking, I dreamt about having low rim posters, like where we just took turns trying to dunk on each other on low rims, and then I had a dream that I also was in a cabin I went to in Alaska, it was like an Airbnb, and I had to like take care of it or something, I went to like check on it to make sure it was like up to standards and there was a lot of people in it. And then we started, I started like talking to all the people then it turned into a restaurant, do you know how dreams work? Anyway, what's good? It's a Monday, I was thinking like, should I make this a little more structured? And I was like, no, that was my answer, in conclusion, but I might think about it, maybe some weeks do like serious, if I learn anything from my YouTube, it's like I got to go with my stream of consciousness, what I think about thoughts, projections, mental fortitude. I wanted to talk about mentally strong Mondays, what I think I wanted to do. Because there's so many times when you think about something, and if you just think about it in a different way, it could change your whole day, your whole perspective, which changes your energy, which then actually makes that come true. We talk a lot about, we talk about it's me, but we as a group, as a community, discuss the perspective and the mental things you think about because, for example, I could think about my dunks and be like, oh, I'm just picturing, I didn't do well today, I couldn't have done this, it's been so long since I've done this, it's been this many years, so tough for me to do this, I should be able to do this, and that's how my mindset was. But if you think about like, oh, and you picture yourself landing and you're done, man, that's so fun to hit, I'm so almost like psychotic, like you already hit it, like you're just like out of your mind, oh man, that was a great duck I already hit, you just pretend like you hit it already. It changes your state of being, it's like you actually change your physiology. So it's not just like you change your mindset and then you're good to go, it's that I, what I like about the concreteness of the visualization is that if you think about landing a dunk or like dunking at someone, you'll actually get like sweaty palms or whatever excites you, you get sweaty palms. So if you think that you already achieved it, you have that sense of accomplishment and your body feels like it's already done it, just like when you've done something once for the first time, they call it open the floodgates. And what that means is that it opens up the levies in your mind. Your mind is like Louisiana, I guess, and just starts flooding in. And the next thing you want, next thing you know, you're fucking drowning in your own accomplishment. What? I don't know what's happening this morning, but I'm feeling really good. The other thing I wanted to talk about, oh, I did my little mobile podcast yesterday, if you saw that, and this was a perfect example of why I say just get started, just be mentally strong to do things and set your set goals and really push yourself to do them for this reason. So I did this podcast with my friends, my friends house. I woke up and like I was tired and feel like doing it. I was rushed, but I brought all my equipment. It's not that much, just my laptop interface and camera. So I set it up really quick. I did it. It was a cool setting. My boy, John's the artist. He had all these amazing artists, such a cool background. I would have loved to have him on, but he wasn't available at the time. But the point is that I did it. It came out okay. I was happy with the content. It was short, but I was just happy. I did it. And now talk, this is what this is about. The dunk in the life is what's going on with your awareness. That's why it was the number one DLD principle is that awareness is a lot of things are harder to do where they cause more anxiety when they're unknown. And as soon as you do them and get started, it becomes known. And that's what your subconscious likes. It likes that known feeling. That's why it's like scary to do something, even if it's going to help you, if you've never done it before, then it is. If you just, that's why people stay stagnant. They just stick with the current pain. They, they choose current pain or struggle over unknown pain or struggle. Even if that's pain or struggle, it's not real. It's just like, you don't know if it's going to be, there's a tiny chance, but most likely it's going to be pleasure and comfort. They avoid it. So I did the mobile podcast. Now next time I go down there, because I go visit my friend a lot is hopefully he's available, but now I set this up and I feel more professional. I feel like ready to go. I feel like I know how it's going to sound. I know it's going to be set up properly so I can be ready the next time. And now I'm not like stressing over, like, would it come out good? Whatever, I had weird stress or weird anxiety about like, ah, this is not going to work. I don't know what to say and all those type of things. But now since I've already done it, I'm, I feel like I got the ball, ball rolling in that direction. So that's what I'm, that's what feels good. And speaking of yesterday's dunk training as I went in, I drove home three hours, went straight to the gym because it's dunk life, obviously. So they're pulling out my camera. There's a bunch of people I didn't know in that gym. A few people know me to dunk. So it makes it a little easier. It plus I can dunk well. So that makes it so much easier when I pull out my camera. But even before I was dunking, I pull out my tripod, set that bad boy up on the court, obviously respect the gym's rules, but they don't, they, they allow you to film, I think, but pull it out. And like a few people asked me if I'm a YouTuber and I said, yes. And when I say that, I wish it was like means that that's like my job. But I am a YouTuber. I think everybody's a YouTuber. If you create videos, especially if you love to do it, you're not just making a one off video, you just like throwing something up from your family vacation and friggin cancun in 2012. What? But the point is I make, I mean, I'm a YouTuber. And, uh, but the thing is, what I'm trying to say is that since I pulled out the tripod, acted like I'm doing it, talking to the camera, not giving up, fuck, people realized that. And they, they asked me if they don't have, nobody's asked me that in a really long time, if I'm a YouTuber. So I think it was just energy is like, I acted like I was like, I got to make my YouTube video. Let's do it. It puts it out there. And then they got height and so much fun. That video is going to be awesome. That video is coming out today. I'm going to try to get it up tonight. I just dunked a little bit. It was supposed to be my dunk day, but I was pretty tired. I dunked the day before pretty well. So it was just about, it was more about like a workout, had some really good max jumps this upcoming week. I think my boy is coming to town. I'm not going to mention it yet. You guys probably don't know him actually, but he's a really dope dude. Um, so just a matter of fact, I mentioned his name is Justin Sakari, if you see him, but he's, um, he might come down. Hopefully going to have a dunk session this weekend. And if maybe with Isaiah as well, if we link up schedules, I don't think he's dead actually from all the contest point is I got videos coming soon, super pumped about it. And, um, back to the mentally strong Monday, what, what I was thinking about during the session is that tired of doing this. It was like, should I, should I go home and rush? Should I do this? And then the mental side of it was just like, let's just see what I can do. And that's how I've had my best sessions, best workouts is just going in there, really focusing on listening to my body and being, and being in tune with how I feel. So that way I don't overdo it. Cause I much rather, um, add the stimulus, but not burn myself out because that burnt out feeling is just going to lead to like two days of no progress. So, um, stay strong with it, keep going, just keep doing something little that it gets so hard mentally when you're just, oh, the other thing I want to say about mentally is that everything starts in your mind, everything physical. So that's why when I go into a session thinking, you know what, everything's okay. It's like it starts with those thoughts of just let it be easy, just do the little bit, just warm up, just touch the rim, whatever it is, because as you start doing it, as you start, I'm way looser. I'm not like, there's no pressure on me, which is not tense to me up and all those type of physiology type fucking factors. You get what I'm saying. Stay strong with your mind and every single thing you start with is your mind. Everything you do, I mean, you starts in your mind. You wake up this morning. What's the first thing you think about? Is it something positive? Last night I was watching some, watching Black Mirror because there was an episode I missed and they started talking about murder and they show the ladies cut throat. I'm like, I don't think I want this going into my subconscious when I go to sleep. So I started watching some YouTube, some, oh, some Rick and Morty clips that are hilarious because I wanted to think about space and laughter, which are two of my favorite topics. So I'm like, and you're about to go to sleep. So I'm like, that goes into my subconscious because it's close to the time my brain goes into those brain waves. Keep learning. Keep filling your mind with the good stuff. If you hear those little thoughts, work on them immediately. Don't wait until it becomes a known that you can work through it, but also just know when those thoughts come that you can work through it. There's always a way. Try to focus on the positive. Stay strong to focus on the positive. Stay strong to make sure you're using all those little quirks of your subconscious to your advantage. Bring them to the conscious. So that way you're in control of them and they're not just patterns that you just go through life doing and you're just freaking cycling. We're trying to make the most out of this life. Let's go. Dunk life daily is out. Only one last thing to friggin' say and that's to the loo. That's dunk life. Ooh, that's the anthem right there. Try to make an intro. Ends it up making an anthem. Ooh.
