CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
6 exercises to improve mental toughness:
1. Get rid of extrinsic motivators – no music, no training partner. Suffer in silence alone
2. Develop good habits – Mentally tough people are more consistent than you. They create habits and relentlessly stick to them
3. Learn to ignore things you cannot control – Stoicism is the ability to endure pain and hardship without display of fellings and without complaint
4. Ruck – put a heavy pack on and go walk for hours.
5. Farmer carry – pick up some heavy shit and go for a mile walk.
6. Hang – grab and pullup bar, a tree branch or some playground equipment and start a timer. Work up to 60 seconds.

KISS – Keep it Simple, Stupid
Sometimes we overcomplicate our lives unneccesarily. I find when things feel out of control complicated, I just need to take it back to basics. Merkins, Squats, Big Boys. When life feels too overcomplicated and I’m stressed out, I go downstairs and hit the pull-up bar, do some merkins or big boys. All of a sudden I can see a little more clearly. Exercise sharpens the mind as well as the body.

Today we spent time on “voliltion.” What got me thinking about it was a photo on social media that I saved a few years ago. It was a picture of the football field with Army and Navy playing. The caption said something about it being the only game that day where every player on that field was willing to die for me and my freedom. I also thought of my son-in-law, Travis. During one of his 8 tours of duty he received the Bronze Star for Valor because he chose to live by the Ranger creed to leave no man behind, put himself in harms way, and drag his wounded teammate to safety. Sua Sponte! I mentioned one of the last scenes of the movie, Saving Private Ryan, when Captain John Miller (a Ranger) tells Private Ryan to “earn this.” This disappointed many Army Rangers because they believe that a Ranger would not say something like that. Rangers don’t expect their service to be “earned”, there service is their own volition. Sua Sponte!
We celebrated Christ this past week. He chose to obey his Father on His own volition. Yes, in His prayer in the garden He did ask if there was some other way to accomplish His mission but he always came back to say that He would do the will of His Father. Jesus didn’t ask us to earn it. He did it by choice so that our sins would be forgiven, we would be declared justified in God’s eyes, and redemption could be ours. We don’t have to earn it. We only need to repent, profess Christ, obey, and follow. Not easy, but at least we know the way to everlasting joy and peace.

MOLESKIN:
At the halfway point during the workout, I hit a wall, I went dark and thought to myself , this is too hard , I don’t know that I can complete all 20 cones… I knew that we had 20 cones but a few only saw 17-18 cones, which created some mumble chatter once they saw that there was more to do ! Seeing ALL THOSE cones lined up the hill really puts your mind in a place you don’t want to be. Knowing what we went through today , suffering through the workout, we or let’s say I found a way to get through and complete the planned workout. Last time we tried , we fell short of time. We fell short on official F3 time but were so close to completing the mission ! I really appreciate everyone staying a few minutes past so we could complete the workout! Everyone persevered through the workout ! Thank you and rest assure, we won’t need to do it again now that we finished what we started!
