Arnold Schwarzenegger finds inspiration through an unconventional method

Throughout his career, the bodybuilding icon envisioned success. He had different ways of finding inspiration and a clear vision for the future. In his Netflix docu-series, the 76-year-old explained how he would visualize becoming the greatest bodybuilder while working out in pin-drop silence. Instead of listening to music, Arnie used his gym sessions to focus his mind.

Besides the gym, Arnie wrote about other methods to envision his plans.?“When I go skiing, I use the ten or fifteen minutes in the chairlift as a kind of sacred space to let my mind wander. It?s that way with bicycling too. No one can bother you on a bike,”?Arnie wrote. However, Schwarzenegger currently uses a Jacuzzi every night to?“create space for inspiration.”

A Jacuzzi is an expensive piece of technology that uses water flow control to relax and massage the entire body.

The Jacuzzi helps the 76-year-old focus on his thoughts and provides?“mental clarity.”?The former Mr. Universe also uses technology to help other people.
