I love trends. I love studying analytics. And I believe there's absolutely a world of logic. And there's times where it's like, you know what, I'm going to trust my heart. Like there is something there that is true and pure. And I don't want to always be a slave to what the data says.

There is an art. I think it's the art and the science. Both are great things. And again, maybe that's the Switzerland in me. It's not art or science. It's both.

Yeah. So, you know, bathroom team come out 30 seconds with my dog. I literally get on the steps and just literally hug my dog and like lay with them and just kind of, and then come down, feed the animals. And I come into my office and then I lay on my office floor at about a 15 minute stretchy routine that just helps, you know, some back situations and some stuff with my dog.

So it's quiet time with my cooch where I'm stretching and relaxing and he does his downward dog and his stretching and And then depending on the day, he either gets a quick walk and I go to the gym or I take, we grab the leash, which of course he goes crazy for, meaning we get to go for a run in the trails. That's absolutely the morning routine. Then it's back.

By that time, my daughter's up and my wife's up and the kids are up and whatnot. And get to see the family, and then kind of get ready for the day. Nothing crazy.

Yes, and I'll just quickly add to it, the physical side, of course. But it's way deeper. I believe the spiritual, the emotional, the physical, the mental, all four components, that helps me with. My shoulders drop. And even in the middle of the day, when anxiety or stress starts to add up, having a quick...

you know, maybe just after lunch or the two o'clock, 10 minute break or something where I can go out and kind of re-stretch in a way, maybe not the same as I did early in the morning. My breathing changes, the tone of voice, the calmness, like I said, the posture that, you know, I could have neck issue, you know, whatever. And so I think it really does get your heart right.

So it's, because I've stretched where my mind is in 18 different places and I'm scrolling apps and my mental side is not there and it's not nearly as effective. But when I stretch with breathing and with calmness and with no distractions and just being there with my dog, there's something more, there's a deeper level of health that comes from it.

Definitely have hired physical therapists, not reactionary because I've got an injury, but more proactively to help me with preventative things for my back or my hips or my knees or, you know, as I get older and you're, if I'm training for a hundred mile race this August and I'm going to spend a lot of time, how do I proactively prevent injury versus reactively do it?
