Mike heard Adam Sandler regret never stretching enough and decided to stop using regret as an excuse to stay stuck. He started hyperbolic stretching, which combines intense muscle contractions with stretches, and says it boosted his energy and reduced pain. He argues regret should be a decree for change, not a reason to do nothing.
There's an article I read a few years ago. It was about Adam Sandler, you know, the Waterboy, the comedian. And they asked him, does he have any regrets? And I remember him specifically saying he regrets not stretching more as a kid or in his life or now. And I empathize with it. I didn't stretch much unless I had to in gym class or for sports or something, but never otherwise. And then it hit me that a regret becomes mired, that we start replicating. It's actually a justification to continue the behavior. If we regret, it should be a decree for change. That was my awakening. And I committed to start stretching. Well, now I do it with regularity. And I'm actually taking it even further. I just started hyperbolic stretching. Have you heard of this? It's where you, you do the stretch and then you give it an intensity, like a hold where you actually contract your muscles and then relax to further the stretch. It feels good. It's increased my energy. It's decreased the discomfort in my body. I could have stuck with the regret, "I should have stretched more in my life," and I would have simply continued it. Let's make our regrets decrees. I don't care if you're 48, if you're 84, I don't care what age you are. Make that regret a decree for change starting today. You'll have better outcomes.
