“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
-James Clear
CONNECT
Human beings are social animals. One individual, no matter how powerful, how clever, cannot survive without other human beings. So the best way to fulfill your wishes, to reach your goals, is to help others, to make more friends.
How do we create more friends? Trust. How do you develop trust? It’s simple: You show your genuine sense of concern for their well-being. Then trust will come. Without trust, there is no friendship.
THINK

Just because so many people are doing something, doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do. Listen to your instincts. Follow your heart and blaze your own trail.

CONNECT
Connect with ourself and our breath is a key part to our overalll health.
Why we breathe Regulated by the autonomic nervous system, inhaling oxygen is an unconscious process. Fortunately it’s an unconscious praxis, otherwise we simply wouldn’t have a break, as we’d have to deal with it incessantly. The amount of oxygen that we inhale through our breathing, influences the amount of energy that is released into our body cells. On a molecular level, this progresses via various chemical and physiological processes. Breathing is the easiest and most instrumental part of the autonomic nervous system to control and navigate. In fact, the way you breathe strongly affects the chemical and physiological activities in your body. Throughout the years, Wim Hof has developed special breathing exertions that keep his body in optimal condition and in complete control in the most extreme conditions. The breathing technique is first and foremost premised on inhaling deeply and exhaling without any use of force!
“Seek not goof from without; seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.”
-Epictetus
When something goes well, it’s easy to recount the actions we took to make it happen. When something doesn’t we may do the opposite and place the blame on external factors, not ourselves.
A core tenant of mental toughness is responsibility.
We must accept that we played a role in all of our successes AND failures.
