One of my most important posts this year. Let’s talk about the significant edge top players gain by mastering their pre-event routine. These players aren’t up until 3am last minute testing; they are early to bed and early to rise. This gives them the energy and time to have a decent breakfast and spend some time relaxing before the event kicks off. A healthy sleep schedule makes for a healthy mind and a healthy mind is less prone to fumble during high pressure situations. Deck building and theory have always been my strengths. But as someone who struggled with jet lag, sleep apnea, ADHD and anxiety before big events, I always fell physically short on the day(insert habibi is short joke 😆). So I sought medical help, I bring this up publicly because I think there’s a stigma surrounding sharing your mental weaknesses, but I ain’t ashamed. It isn’t weak to address your problems and grow through them. It isn’t weak to be open and honest about them. Weakness is ignoring them and trying to “tough it out”. Optimism is not a plan. It’s relieving to finally have a process and I’m already seeing results in my work, family and hobby lifestyles. #lorcana #tcg #lifestyle #mentalhealth Editor: princerupertsdad
