 Sweet mild psychosis What's good? Yeah, I'm so glad for day five dunk tip five out of five mindset, baby dunk life daily that the LD Delirium life daily, baby feels like the universe is aligning. I made these little dunk tips. It's going well I hope you guys are enjoying but I need to get back to just spewing nonsense because that's what's like bubbling up the most This is what I usually usually usually usually use this podcast for and so mindset is kind of perfect because it's a good transition from Straight structure of the dunk tips dot the blah blah program speaking of programs might have a surprise for you Stay tuned for the end of the podcast winky-winky if you're watching you don't need me to say that but you're if you're listening you need a wink Whoo, so mindset. What's up mild psychosis? What's up my psychos Sally psychos? That's actually a pretty good name for my fans. Sally psychos. It's a good thing though It's like I'll get into it. So what's going on? We had a good week Episode 32. It's like a friggin months worth even on a leap year a month worth of the daily dunk life daily That's a lot already. I can't believe it's been 32 apps, but my hair looks nice right now terrible But I'm feeling great today's dunk day for me mindset is one huge thing that shifted me That I think is extremely important for everything you do every time you hit the gym every time you wake up every ounce every second of the day mindset everything starts with your mind and A big question I get a ton is how do you stay motivated? How do you have so much goddamn energy? First of all today, I feel amazing my energy is at the friggin max. I'm dunking today I was supposed to go yesterday. I was supposed to hoop and play but nobody was at the friggin gym and It was a blessing in disguise blessing in public because nobody was there in public and I just took it easy I just went home and then I went to the gym a little later Just a stretch and kind of rehab and today I feel extra fresh I'm gonna have a dunk day instead of a hoop day because I don't think anybody anybody plays on Sundays And I'm just feeling jumpy But my elevated energy is my favorite feeling had coffee. I took a shower. I feel amazing listen to some music Practice my dance moves in the mirror is fucking amazing already. It's only nine o'clock a little late for the podcast mindset is that How do you stay motivated? How do you have that energy? It's because the dunking is such a strong desire of mine I love it so much the peak the dunks that the thought of just dunking on someone the thought of dunking in a game the Adrenaline the feeling I get when I actually land a new dunk when I make progress is The highest form of energy for me at least in my physical form in that area So other things might bring other people that adrenaline rush like whatever it is whatever Activity you like to do but for me it's dunking and it's because jumping was always something I enjoyed doing ever since I was little and Mixed with the videos as well But my point is is that I'm so aware of what the goal is that I want to do is that when I think of like What what to eat if I want to eat something make the healthy choice or if I need to go to the gym Or if I need to push a little harder I'm I'm always thinking of what my goal is that it makes it so easy to stay motivated I don't need I don't need any extra motivation because it's It's so clear every moment every movement that I make is for this bigger goal That's so deep in me like a such a strong passion of mine that it makes it so easy to stay focused And that's the other thing about mindset is you need to stay focused and by focused I mean think about the long term. That's one thing that I I Struggled with years ago. Um is that I really wanted to have like a great jump day today, right? So I would do everything I can for this day and I would like for example like say today is Sunday Say like the whole week I want to like rest up not do anything and have a great jump day and then for whatever whatever reason Maybe I don't have a great day. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna wait till the next good dump jump day So I kept trying to like postpone gains just to have one good jump day Well this week so far is like instead of like when I felt fresh and had energy I'm like, you know what? I'll do some upper body because long term that'll help me I'll be stronger or maybe I'll do some stretching. It might tire me out I might not have the best jumping day, but it's long term So it's not just saying do more work, but it's always thinking long term And the other thing about long term is injuries and setbacks So when you do things if you have if you had a great day and you want to play again It's like what's long term what's gonna make you the long term progress for example my knee I had to take like three months off of jumping just to get it healthy And then another couple months to get it back to jumping a max jumping, you know But in the grand scheme you guys probably don't even remember when I did that that was like from November to March or whatever It was I barely was jumping so for me. It's really hard because I show all my progress. I make videos It's my livelihood. It's how I try to Make my careers these videos and my dunk ones do the best so it's even harder for me But take that time off if you need it because when you look back if because I've done this too is that I had pains I had little problems like I could push through it. I could push through it I could push through it, but over time was like a year later I didn't make any progress because I was I didn't go backwards a little bit So sometimes you got to go backwards think long term even if you take six months off in the grand scheme is that My fucking hair looks ridiculous In the grand scheme of things If you look back it's like okay if I take six months off even a year off right and then I'm better for it You got to consider that you got a you got to think long term because right now my knees are amazing My hamstrings a little tight and now I'm actually struggling with it right now because my hamstrings so tight and my lower back hurts a little bit Then I'm like I think I need to take a solid time Maybe like a month or two months just to rehab that even though I'm at my peak right now I'm at my peak and I'm ready to play So I'm literally doing it right now and I might take that break But it is really hard and I understand that struggle, but looking back It's it's been hurting since the end of June and that's already over a month and a half So it's like okay I'm gonna struggle with this for another six months and when I look it's December and I look back I'm like okay. I didn't make any progress I could have taken three months off gotten healthy and but be by December be even higher than I would have been if I didn't take any breaks you get what I'm saying so take that break because I'm in the best shape of my life right now I'm like the most lean I know about my body the most I look the best my knees are the healthiest I'm jumping my highest and that's because I took a big break and I had to take breaks to understand things But it sucks, but my point is if I never never took those breaks I would never have made the progress I made so you got to think of long term And you got to stay focused on your goals. So Yes, that's that okay, so that's huge That's a huge one is thinking long term taking the time you need to build a strong foundation That's my best advice for long-term thinking and also mindset and the other thing I got to say is the visualization I really like this. I actually have to do it more I think it's really beneficial to be able to believe in what you're doing when I got my first dunk I saw Andy do it from like touching the rim to hanging on the rim to dunking that it made it a hundred percent believable to me it was just a matter of time and then when I got my windmill dunk It was like a bonus like I never really thought I couldn't do it I'm like, okay if I dunk and I dunk better I can windmill It wasn't like if I can do it and then a two-hand dribble dunk off right left was always so hard for me And then it was also the one that I wanted the most I was like this would make me the most legit dunker and I was like and it was almost I'm it was a mindset thing it was like I Should be able to do this instead of saying I can do this and the difference between that is saying I should is putting is focusing on the lack that I can't do it and also is like I wanted it so badly and I was so frustrating that I couldn't like I should I should I should that it put so much Pressure that it took me like three years to even get a two-hand off the dribble right left and the reason I wanted that the one the most because it was the hardest for me because I made it hard because I practiced bad habits But then also in game was always my number one goal and everything else was like a bonus So I mentally I was laxed about it. I was like, okay, I can do this This is this is throwing a lob. I can go get it. I can go hard But the dribble dunk was like the one I wanted to prove to myself. I'm a legit dunker. So since I wanted it so bad I put that goal so Put such difficult time mentally to wrap my head that I'm actually a dunker to do that So after that I read some books and then three years went by I couldn't do it Visualize them. I can do it. I switch that thought process. I thought I switched the thing words I would say to myself I can do it I saw myself doing and I got hype and I landed it So if you go watch that video my first ten foot dunk two hands off the dribble right left That's why I was crazy hype because in like a month after I shifted that mentality instead of saying every time I walk in the gym, I should I Said I can and I got it and the other thing about mentality that I like a lot now is that you might have noticed This is mine, too By the way, this is all my mindset my mild psychosis you guys can have your own But for me when I walk in the gym and a lot of my dunk friends say this too is that a lot of days when you go in there For me, this is what I say a lot is that I have more days that I'm expecting to just warm up and have a fun time That go really well then I have days that I'm like oh today's a perfect day and they go perfect So I have more days that when I go in there I'm kind of just like you know what let's see what happens and I have no expectations that I do well And I honestly believe that's there's a lot more to that than just a mentality It's like you're loose which makes your muscles work better Which makes every little step of the process go well compound effect is like you walk in the gym You're loose. Let's see touch the rim. Okay. Your footwork was on point. Okay, you warm up properly Let's see what I do you're loose you throw a lob You're not you're not putting so much tension on it if you're like today's a perfect day I rested two days in a row. I ate the perfect food today's the day I'm gonna fucking hit my teeth on the rim and then you go in and say oh that didn't feel too good You focus on that then you're like oh this feels a little off. I hope I jump perfect This is what I do like I hope I jump perfect this next jump then it goes a little off Then I start compounding different things. I start tensing up my muscles jumping a little improper Whatever it is and everything compounds into bad jumps and tension and too much stress and then when you have stress It's the less oxygen and your brain doesn't work as well. That's mild psychosis in the wrong way So use it to your advantage stay long term and that's what a big shift for me is so now when I go to a session I got to think long term because for me if I'm in a session like today's the day I'm gonna make the best YouTube video ever because I'm gonna elbow fucking windmill elbow dunk over somebody twice Right and then if I don't do it it's so frustrating But I'm like you know what we'll see what happens today if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't and then I'm loose and I feel great and I have more fun. So it comes you have to enjoy it. That's what helps me is in enjoying the sessions Why are these headphones falling off my head all day long? You have to enjoy it to me that makes my sessions a lot better because then I could stay focused on what I need To work on because if I don't and I go in there with some goals And I'm not hitting I I just hammer those goals and I and then the next day my gosh shoot I should have worked on this I should have worked on that But if I just think you know what today's just another step think long term What would be a good way to practice today for that long term goal? That's how I want to approach every session and that's my mindset and everything else dude Find what your dunk life is that's a mine is dunking because I love it It's always been something I loved ever since I was friggin five years old I've always loved jumping and I've loved dunking and basketball and I love so many other things too But right now this is such a strong goal of mine. I want to get there and I'm really close and but find what gives you that energy because That's what it's about. That's if you're not motivated to do it. It's okay Sometimes sometimes you have goals I've had in the past that you have goals that you want so badly to prove to yourself to prove Somebody else wrong, but is that really gonna satisfy you? Or is that really going to lead you onto a path of something that you really enjoy doing or is it just like an achievement, you know So find your dunk. Okay. Now everybody's favorite segment.
