I would have already chugged a ton of water to make sure I had to pee like the moment I had to memorize. I would put a podcast in my ear as loud as I possibly could push it. And it was a podcast that I actually wanted to listen to that I hadn't heard before. So immediately, like, I got to pee. My heart's racing. I'm out of breath. I got the podcast mirror.

I got my own voice in my head saying, what are you doing? Your score sucks. You're already behind. You already can't focus. So I had all that going on and still trying to bring my attention back onto what I was doing and let the training kick in, let the habits kick in. And I would train that way. That is my secret for how I won training.

That is my secret for how I won training.

my three championships, how I performed in front of 400 million people in China, like you saw, that training is what I did. But here's the thing, that helped me get to the point where I realized what's the real root of this pressure. I realized, and everyone does this, every moment of your life that you've ever pushed away that you couldn't handle, something that was embarrassing, a breakup.

I realized, and everyone does this, every moment of your life that you've ever pushed away that you couldn't handle, something that was embarrassing, a breakup.

Every moment of your life that you could not handle in that moment, it's still inside of you. It's suppressed. And so when we get poked by life, you know, like you're in the board meeting or, you know, you're under pressure, those moments get poked inside of you and they come up, they arise. anxiety, some people depression, overwhelm is a good one. Overwhelm, what is overwhelm?

Overwhelm, what is overwhelm?

It's you're being poked by all kinds of things. You can't handle this. You can't handle this. You can't handle this. You don't like this. You don't like this. Overwhelmed. The voltage is too much for you to handle. So all this stuff comes up in that moment. So what do most of us do? We do the exact opposite of what we should do. And this is what I teach people now.

Because this is how I overcame my anxiety is instead of meditating to calm yourself down, Instead of going for a walk to clear your head, instead of listening to podcasts or anything to feel better, eating, drinking, smoking, and no judgment, right? Because we all do it because the voltage is so intense. We sit with that energy because that energy...

The suppressed emotions is your suppressed potential. When you open up to it, relax into it, feel it, and allow it to surge through you, it processes out like it should have 30 years ago or 10 years ago or 20 years ago when it happened. So you process it out and you start increasing your capacity to handle more voltage.

So how can I go in front of 400 million people and memorize 700 different things without collapsing to the ground? It's because... I've increased my capacity to handle life's voltage. And those moments don't bother me anymore.

The crazy thing is, so I had to memorize 100 different items that were placed in 100 different lockers, and each locker had a four-digit code that they locked to them. So pretty easy. The hard part for me was three days before the event, they told me, hey, you're going to have to memorize two things at a time. We're going to give you two things like a Rubik's cube and a picture.

At the same time, we're going to put them in the lockers. At the same time, we're going to put the numbers on the screen at the same time instead of one at a time. So on top of it being like with the language, with all the people, I had to do two at a time and multitask. And that was like, oh, shit. That was intense for me because I was like, I've never done that before. I don't know.
