Jake Paul is one of the most prolific influencer-boxers out there. Boasting a 7-1 record, Jake\u2019s goal is to become a world champion and take over the boxing scene. However, in his fervor to prove his worth, Jake says that he\u2019s been extremely hard on himself \u2014 something that was also consistent in his childhood. Jake has publicly spoken about his upbringing many times in the past, saying his parents were constantly criticizing him, especially when it came to athletics. Now, he says he\u2019s learned how to cut himself some slack after experiencing his first trip with ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic. Jake Paul opens up on first experience with psychedelics Jake opened up about his experience with the drug during a November 9 interview with Aubery Marcus, the CEO of holistic health brand \u2018Onnit\u2019 and a fellow influencer. According to Jake, he perceived ayahuasca as a kind and gentle \u201cmother\u201d who guided him through scenes in his life to help him better understand himself \u2014 particularly moments in which he was his own worst critic. \u201cOn the first night, it brought up a lot of problems of like, self-love, and how harsh I am to myself,\u201d he explained. \u201c\u2026it really showed me to just be nicer to myself.\u201d \u201cShe gave me like a really big hug, and it felt like this love that I needed. It was so cerebral,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat was really powerful, and that was my biggest takeaway from the whole week was working on that self-love and giving myself credit sometimes.\u201d (Topic begins at 48:45) Jake says that his experiences with the drug were eye-opening, helping him reflect on his behavior and \u201cslow down\u201d from the fast-paced nature of his career. The next big step in Jake\u2019s boxing journey comes on December 15, when he\u2019ll face off with pro boxer Andre August in an eight-round cruiserweight bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
