Jaakko do you ever feel burnt out from going full-tilt several days or several
weeks in a row and if so what do you do never know of course you know burning
the candle at both ends eventually it's gonna catch up with you and for me it's
can come in the form of too much travel too much exercise sometimes I'll just be
pressed at work working with a bunch of different companies sometimes I'm
writing and I'm trying to get a bunch of writing done
sometimes I'm training so much jiu-jitsu it's going crazy
so anyways or a lot of times it's the combination of all these things going on
at once cuz I'm trying to get a bunch done in a short amount of time and I end
up whatever coming off the coming off the track a little bit coming off the
rails a little bit and so what do I do on those kind of days when I'm starting
to feel like that well number one I like to force myself to do it anyways that is
a reality so if even if I'm if I don't feel like working out I'll be like you
know what just go do a quick workout an easy one easier work out or I don't want
to train jiu-jitsu we were talking about this earlier don't really feel like
training gonna go train anyways then maybe there's some form of work that I'm
supposed to do I'm just gonna go and do the work anyways now if if the next day
I still feel like I need a break that's sort of my red flag to say alright you
know what you need a break you need to take some time time relax do some kind
of active rest I don't really like just kind of sitting around I'll do something
kind of active and probably eat some steaks plural trying to eat something
really good trying to eat sir just try you know I might I might eat something
really good like steaks and maybe sleep take an extra nap try and feel better do
some kind of stretching to try and feel better just recover just recover so yes
I'm not superhuman like anybody else sometimes
broken down beaten up and I need some downtime and that's what I do I try and
rest relax and eat some good food yeah that's a good on that I start to
incorporate how you were saying if I don't feel like it or if I feel like I'm
starting to get burnt out you'll you'll it's like that one last yes yeah let me
just do it anyway yes then I'll see if I do it you know because sometimes like I
say you avoid the situation were you just not in the mood some days you just
not in the mood but it doesn't mean you're burnt out you're just not in the
mood for whatever reason so that's a good way to kind of weed those days out
and and yeah if you're still burnt out the next day or even the next day after
that and it's like okay you gotta rest I started doing that and you'd be
surprised what it how many times you really not burnt out you're just not in
the mood that's a B you might not agree with this but if you are like no whether
it be burnt out or just tired of me you know you're just you just tired of the
grind or whatever and you need a break vacation or whatever what I sometimes do
is don't do like filming for example where there would be times where I would
spend like months just filming every week filming edit it feel like no break
and what I do is don't do any of it and don't think about it don't just don't do
it at all and then slowly and you in my experience I was surprised how quick he
came back where you you kind of want to get back to it but then I go like like a
week of still not doing it it's like jujitsu if you're like oh man I'm tired
of training every day or whatever you had to turn him in or whatever and
you're like then I got to take a break after about probably like three days if
you're a competitor three days you're like man I want to get back on the mats
so what you do is you push that even more so it's like you're you're pushing
yourself to be burnt out on the recovery mmm so the only the only medicine for
that burnt out of recovery is to get back into it but that hunger of getting
back into it is even more than it normally would be after a normal break
that makes sense I guess and I just want to call us and both out right now for
being total cream puffs I think is what Bob often
said here we are talking about how we get burnt out on working out training
filming it's like Bob Bob Hoffman was you know
living in the seeds of mustard gas floating around and maybe we should just
say don't get burnt out just work harder yeah sorry you maybe thought a real bad
there filming no I mean realize I was like oh I was typing on a computer I'm
real burnt out shut up Jocko I got a better idea
why don't you just be fired up that you have the opportunity to create something
how does that sound oh you got the opportunity to go train
jujitsu to go get better physically oh I think I'm gonna go ahead and do that I'm
not gonna sit there and say I'm burn out on training no no don't be burnt out if
Bob Hoffman's not burn out on the frontlines of World War one I don't
think we have an excuse to be burn out on the pleasurable things we get to do
in life let's suck it up and just drive on I'm changing my answer
