0:05When I was 25, the
doctor tells me,
0:09you have uterus cancer.
0:10I got the surgery and recovered
physically.
0:14But I realized it was
not enough.
0:17Rosalind and I, we were
married five years
0:19when we found out that
0:20she had multiple
sclerosis.
0:22She was never the
same again.
0:24She became far more
dependent
0:26upon me for day-to-day
tasks.
0:29All my life, I struggled with
stress and anxiety.
0:34I was losing patches of hair,
and emotionally
0:41I hated the way that
my body looked.
0:44There were comments
about
0:45being chubby and being
overweight.
0:48And because of that,
I just
0:49stopped exercising
completely.
0:55I was coping with
a lot of
0:57emotions, stress,
trauma.
0:59I felt like I was alone.
1:02I end up trying to
do too much.
1:04Sometimes you just
want to
1:05you may want to go
in the corner
1:08For years, it really
held me back
1:09from taking on any kind
of physical challenge.
1:15I had to have a
different
1:17mindset and a different
way
1:23I stepped out, and I said,
things must change.
1:31The first time I saw Limitless,
I was like, OK,
1:42Learning how to
deep breathe
1:45helped me to deal with
my traumas.
1:47I now have a new
sense of
1:49purpose, a new sense
of living.
1:52I heard about the
benefits
1:55that swimming in
cold water
1:59That's when I decided
that
2:00I'm going to give
that a go,
2:01because that could change
my life around.
2:04It was like a wake-up
moment.
2:06I started using the techniques
that I have seen.
2:09I would sit down, and
for two minutes,
2:12put my mind to one
single thing.
2:15I could have my thoughts
without having
2:18to feel anxiety, stress,
or pressure.
2:26Watching someone try new
2:27things was really
inspiring.
2:30So I decided I was starting
the Camino.
2:34It's a very old
pilgrimage
2:36route, 500 miles across
Spain.
2:38Suddenly, I was
able to do
2:40things I could not
imagine.
2:42I started doing mountain
biking.
2:48I went from casual jogging
to running a marathon
2:54I feel that I've let all
2:56the stresses and
the strains
2:57and the worries and everything
else go.
3:00So that when I'm in the
water, I can just
3:02enjoy being in that
space.
3:06I just felt such an appreciation
for the fact
3:09that I was doing
something new.
3:11My wife, my children,
they
3:13see me completely
renewed.
3:16I have that sense of
fully living again.
3:20It actually strengthens
3:21the relationship
between us,
3:23because it makes me
feel like
3:24I'm doing a better
job in caring
