So welcome back to the podcast.
I wanted to talk about something today that is extremely important.
So I just finished working out. Um I have I sent my Crossfitimen that I use to work out and it helps me to reset my day.
So this is very important to understand when you're trying to build your business because you'll be really stressed and then that can carry over into other parts of your life that you don't want it to be present in.
For instance, your family, um, maybe you work a second job and that's really difficult to do.
And this is something that you may want to think about when you're building time out for your practice.
And I discussed this in my um little course on building your DPC practice where you have to essentially time block out times during the week to actually go and exercise.
And that can be you could go outside and walk, right, to destress yourself.
You could do yoga.
You could do lifting.
You could do resistance training.
You could do running for maybe a mile or less.
And it's more about a time factor instead of a I achieve this many miles or I achieve lifting this amount.
It's more about, did I clear my brain out in order to continue functioning how I would in accordance with my own principles?
So this is just something to really think about.
And I thought about that it was very important to bring up because it's something I do now automatically and I don't really think about it.
I just kind of do it and that's it.
So I want it to be something that you put into your regimen when you're trying to build your practice so that you are able to function in accordance with your own principles.
So, for instance, my time to do this is anywhere between three, like either I do it at 3 PM or 4 p.m.
Now, I do jujitsu, I do jujitsu at uh jujitsu's at noon, but I do my workout at three to four and I alternate the days.
So I'm managing my stress by not doing jujitsu and working out on the same day.
And remember, it's about the stress.
It's about how many things are causing you stress in your life.
And believe it or not, working out is a stress level that is added on to your daily stress.
So this is because it's taxing your nervous system, right?
And you have to understand that that's present and that it's affecting your mental awareness.
And in fact, in in real mindfulness training, not the escapego kind that the corporations give you. The real thing is that you immediately do the action that helps mitigate the stress.
So during the course itself, they will I'll tell you to like stand right up and go walk.
Like I want you to stand we're all going to take a break.
We're going to take 15 minutes and we're going to go outside and walk.
And many people are like, oh, what are what are we doing?
And I'm like, yeah, we're going outside and we're going to walk.
So that's very important to understand that it may not be built in, but you can actually build it yourself.
So you can build these things, build these habits up, and it's part of having a a regular mental resilience plan when you're running your business, because you may just be like going throughout the day and all of a sudden you realize, damn, I'm really stressed.
And I yelled at my significant other or my kids or something like this, or even like somebody on the phone, right, a rapper or whatever. And it wasn't because of them.
It's not because of them.
It's because your stress levels have been built up this high and they need a reset.
Your stress levels need kind of a reset.
And if you go and do something that's strenuous, it will reset your mind. And at the same time, you can put your phone down and do the workout, right?
So you could do three things, a circuit of three things in a row.
Like my little kettlebell over there, you could do you could do kettlebell pushes, like presses from the floor.
You could do Ventova rows, right?
And then you could hold the cettlebell and then do squats.
So you could do those things ten each, right?
Ten reps, three, four sets each.
I would probably do four and then come back to the world, put the phone down, put everything down.
And then after that, go walk for 20 minutes, right?
So this is uh something that you can do and you can build right into the routine of the business itself.
So you're like, pull out the calendar, uh Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
I'm doing resistance training, all the other alternate days.
I'm doing 20 minutes of walking, and then Saturday or Sunday, I am completely off.
Whatever day that is, I'm completely off.
Or maybe you're working double jobs and you're like, that is my day off because I'm working two jobs in a row, so I shouldn't be stressed out about having to work out.
The other thing you can do, um, of course, is meditation.
But I find that it's easier for people if I tell them to actually work out instead of try and meditate.
Because meditate, a lot of people have some a little bit of barrier against that because of what the they've been through in the corporate life where they've just been it's been used as a scapegoat by saying, oh, you don't practice meditation.
So you're the problem, right?
So the corporations, of course, have ruined it that way.
The insurance-based corporations have.
So that's why I don't say meditation right now, even though it's a possibility, yoga is another possibility.
But I find that strenuous activities do it the most.
So high intensity interval training , uh juj-jitsu sprints, even long distance running.
So maybe 10 minutes, maybe 12 minutes, 14 minutes.
If you can get in, you know, some time there with running, that will also help, too.
And I think this is very important to understand.
And I just wanted to say that and get that out there before it left my mind.
So continue building your DPC practice.
Keep working on it every day and build it a little bit by a little bit and hopefully you open your doors soon.
