DAY 10 — RESET THE SYSTEM, RESPECT THE PROCESS

Kia ora whānau — Jamie here.

Day 10.
Double digits. First checkpoint. And instead of pushing harder today, I did what most won’t:

I pulled back with purpose.

This isn’t weakness — it’s strategy.
Today was a full-system recovery day: breath, mobility, ground flow, and nervous system reset.

Because the strongest warriors don’t just train hard — they recover with intent.
They learn to listen, not just lift.

I moved slow. Held deep positions. Breathed only through my nose. Let the spine unwind and the hips open. Let the weight of the last nine days settle — and pass through.

This is how we stay in the game.
This is how we avoid breakdown.
This is how we adapt.

Nasal breath held longer today — progress

Nervous system feels clearer, mind feels sharp

First 10 days done — body is adapting, mind is leveling up
