“I realized that I’ve spent my whole life trying to please everybody else and forgot about myself. I neglected myself and because of that, I’ve had breakdown moments. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I have high blood pressure and anxiety because I get worked up very easily, but when I’m exercising, all of that changes. It’s all correlated. When I feel good and I’m working out, my stress levels go down. I’ve been going to the gym again and I want to keep that going. I’m like a wave. I have my really great moments and then I have my moments where I indulge. I’m working hard on keeping that more level now. I over analyze everything. I’m analyzing just to analyze. I’m trying to get back into swimming because it brings total mental clarity for me. That’s what I love about the pool. I have to focus on staying above water, instead of letting my mind spin like usual. I have a different outlook on my health now. It’s not just about me. It’s about my son, Carson, my wife and our future son. So being able to take care of myself is more important than ever now.”
