Getting into a meditative state
There’s a few things I do that help me get to a very calm, meditative state. Stretching. I do some breathing exercises. I also have this hot/cold cycling thing I do in showers, and it’s an amazing way to bring about the right state of mind. I’ll interchange 20 seconds of hot water with 20 seconds of cold water. By the time you’re like seven cycles through, you can’t feel if the water’s hot or cold and your skin is tingling. Your breath and heart rate is increased and it’s almost like a workout. The comedown from that experience relaxes the mind because it’s like recovering from exercise.

Exercise to build energy reserves
I’ve been traveling around the globe for 55 years as I’m involved in a lot of businesses around the world and still play golf professionally. The bottom line is I have to have energy. It is one of the best gifts you can have. Energy is about maintaining gas in your tank. You need to refill. What do I do to build energy? I go to gym every day. At 72, I do 1000 sit ups a day. 200-300 of those with a 100 pound weight on my chest. If you want longevity, you have to be fit.

Yoga
The first few times I did it I thought it was a little hokie. Then one time we’re ending the session and the yogi is taking you through this relaxation exercise. “… start at your ankles, relax your ankles, relax your shins, and then your knees” etc. And she’s walking me through and nothing’s really happening. And then she gets to my head, “… relax your lips, your nose, your eyes, then your eyebrows.” And as soon as she said that, I felt like I was rising from my body. It was an amazing feeling. I was really blown away. I never knew that I kept tension there and never experienced what it felt like to release tension like that. I have been a believer in yoga as a practice since then.
