I’ve trained with a Navy SEAL. I’ve interviewed Green Berets, Navy SEALs, CIA, EODs, Pararescue, Night stalkers & more on my podcast Mindset Lessons from the Field. I’ve pushed myself through physical, emotional, and mental walls that could’ve broken me.

What I’ve learned through all of it is this:
You don’t just wake up tough.
You train for it.

Just like your body needs reps in the gym, your mind needs reps too—daily mental practices that sharpen focus, build grit, and create the kind of clarity you need to handle life when it sucker punches you.

Here are the three reps I come back to over and over. The ones I recommend to anyone who feels stuck, soft, or scattered.
