Jacoby Shaddix

And he's like,

First thing you do when you wake up is you slide down off the side of your bed and you hit your knees and you pray.

And then right after that, you grab your pad of paper and you go write two to three pages of just whatever's in your head.

And it's called morning pages.

And so I did that for a better part of a year, year and a half.

And just I would just the crazy shit I would write and just the things that were in my head.

I was like, dude, are you OK?

But I think that writing out that crazy was very therapeutic for me.

And so I, you know, these, these types of routines that I go back to when things are getting sticky, it's like breath work, meditation, prayer.

Now I'm on to doing this men's Bible study, you know, these things that these, you know, I got this toolkit now when like life's getting shifty and I want to like, you know, just make a bad decision.

It's like, nah, dude, pause, pause.

Like don't light your life on fire.

don't you know and that's kind of what this self-sabotage yeah oh god i was the king of it for years yes and uh i've come to a point now you know where it's like i don't want to sabotage this thing it's too good it's i got too much to be grateful for you know and gratitude is another uh another tool of mine that really puts things in perspective you know i on my social media that's kind of how i part i've chosen to participate with it so i just put up a gratitude list

It's been a minute.

Yeah.

It was like July.

Not that I haven't written gratitude lists.

It's just, you know, I just kind of was just like, ah, I'm not going to post, but I should.

All right.
