An Unbreakable Mindset

An Unbreakable Mindset

Navy SEALs are the most elite warriors on earth.

How do they become that way?

By developing an unbreakable mindset.

But what is a mindset? In simple terms, mindset is how you view and process the world around you.

It influences how we think, feel and act in any situation.

Our mindset is impacting us (for better or worse) every moment of every day, whether we realize it or not.

Being Patient With Our Teammates

Being Patient With Our Teammates

Our teammates are human.

They will also make mistakes.

Getting frustrated with a teammate doesn’t help them or you.

If you want to be a great teammate, start by being patient.

Being Patient With The Process

Being Patient With The Process

Everything is a process.

We can’t achieve a goal on the first step.

We can’t master a new skill on Day 1 of practising it.

Being patient with the process helps us be consistent.

Relentless consistency over time wins.

Being Present

Being Present

“Be present” is the second pillar of mindset.

SEAL training is notoriously difficult.

But SEALs often say the same thing: There’s no single element that’s extraordinarily difficult.

Almost everyone can complete each one.

It’s the totality of it that breaks people.

The Secret: The Part Where Most Trainees Quit SEAL Training

The Secret: The Part Where Most Trainees Quit SEAL Training

When do you think most people quit in SEAL training?

Hell Week? No.

Most people quit in one of the *easiest* evolutions.

It’s a 1-mile beach run.

No time requirement.

You just have to look like you’re running.

The catch: you don’t know when it will end.

Run until the instructors tell you to stop.

So why do so many quit when all they need to do is lightly jog?

Simple: they fail to stay present.

Instead of thinking about the next step, they wonder when it will end.

They tell themselves they can’t do this for hours longer.

They become mentally broken.

How To Stay Present

How To Stay Present

Focus on what you’re doing right now.

Not later today, not tomorrow, not next week.

Practice training your mind to be in THIS moment.

You’ll fail - it’s okay. Just bring yourself back.

Practice this consistently, and you’ll quickly develop the muscle.

Be Deliberate With Your Actions

Be Deliberate With Your Actions

For SEALs, this is obvious. Every physical action can mean life or death in combat.

Thankfully for most of us, that’s not the case.

But our actions still matter. They keep us safe, healthy and productive.

Being Deliberate With Your Speech

Being Deliberate With Your Speech

The spoken word is powerful.

Most SEALs waste few words.

They're extremely intentional in what they say.

This has been trained into them. When things get hard, the power of our speech is amplified.

Our tongue is our rudder.

How To Be Deliberate

Pay attention to what you do.

• What do you eat?

• How do you recharge?

• How do you manage your time?

Pay attention to your words.

• Do they serve you or others?

• Do they supply energy vs. drain it?

• Are they effective?

Be intentional.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Shankul Varada

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
