How Competition Prep Affected My Spirituality
from Savage Perspective Podcast · host Robert Sikes
Our last episode was cut a bit short when Rigel woke up from his nap, so for this episode, I focus on how my spirituality was affected by my recent competition season. I don't discuss things like this on the podcast, but I'm planning to incorporate more Live Savage principles into the show and I thought this was a good place to start. What you'll hear: Pushing my body to the limit during the prep and the spiritual awakening I experienced as a result (5:18) The solace I find in pushing myself to the brink and the resulting self-reflection (10:14) Leaning on God for support (12:02) Struggling to find clarity on my beliefs in my younger years and working with Crystal to come to a deeper spiritual understanding (15:24) Valuing objectivity and data-driven pursuits of knowledge but acknowledging the limitations of science (20:33) The benefits of meditation during a challenging competition prep (26:21) Finding peace and clarity by surrendering my burdens to God (31:44) The importance of gratitude (37:50) If you loved this episode and our podcast, please take some time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, or drop us a comment below!
