Do today what other’s won’t, do tomorrow what other’s cant.
Way of the SEAL
This recording is part of a larger project/series Coach Gene and Heather are working on for another audio podcast (the Warrior Mindset). They are going through each chapter of the book The Way of the Seal by Mark Divine, creator of SealFIT.
They both believe in SealFIT whole heartedly for training and teaching mental toughness. Having both trained with SealFIT methodology for 2-3 years it has been instrumental in helping to hone their focus and overall lifestyle centered around fitness and being healthy human beings…
The chapter’s focus is primarily on learning to get through tough things in life, whether it’s a difficult workout or life challenge; like running a business or getting an advanced degree, you can and will learn something from pushing yourself physically and mentally in the gym.
Talking through the why behind a year of Hero WODS. Simply put we do these things because we are constantly looking for ways to change our set-point. If we can learn to deal with being uncomfortable and push through in the gym or wherever we’re doing the hard stuff, we can translate and succeed in everyday life outside the gym.
Why do your New Year’s Resolutions fail so often? We think it’s because there’s no intent behind the idea. Maybe you keep things to yourself. Maybe you haven’t built a plan around what you want to achieve. Maybe the goal is just to big…
We think you need to put some intent behind your actions. Build a reason behind it beyond the standard; “I need to get better”. Make it public, tell someone else, get an accountability partner, put some skin in the game and you’ll see yourself making progress and even reach your goal(s).
We talked in-depth about Coach Ib’s upcoming year of Hero WODs. How he’s using that to change his level and make himself better. I read this post as well:
What is humility? It starts with vulnerability, but let’s frame it in a better light. I think it’s better expressed as “honesty,” and “self- awareness.”
A good friend laid this out online fo rus recently:
Admit you are imperfect and fallible. Be honest, especially with yourself, about who you are, who you aren’t, and where you are at. Your puffed up chest generally looks like exactly that. Be teachable and willing to learn. Everyone has to fake it to make it sometimes, and trying to be better than you are means believing that you can in fact be and do better. “Trust yourself when others doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too…”
In this podcast we take a deeper dive into being a healthy, humble human being… Join us!
