Whenever I am feeling down, unmotivated, or just plain self-hating on myself. I look for a quick Jocko hit. He holds no punches, he's extreme. He's not going to pat you on the head and tell you it's ok. Take Extreme Ownership.
1. ATTACK
When things are going bad, don't get bummed out, startled, or frustrated.
If you can say the word good, it means you're still alive.
If you're still breathing, you still have fight left. Get up & dust off. Reload, recalibrate & reengage.
Go out on the ATTACK!

2. Have discipline
Discipline is the root of all good qualities. It's working out every day, making yourself stronger & healthier.
Discipline means taking the hard road & not accepting weakness.
Discipline is your best friend, it will take care of you like nothing else.

4. Turn weaknesses into strengths
Don't accept weakness, fight it. Somedays you win, somedays you don't. Get up every day to fight with everything you have to overcome those weaknesses, channel shortfalls, and your flaws.

5. Be focused
In combat, focus comes easy, the battle is right in front of your face. You have no choice but to focus, but sometimes in day-to-day life, you can lose track of the long-term goal.
Win the long war. Don't settle for the status quo.

5B.
Embed that long-term goal in your mind and never lose sight of it.
Ever!
Think about it, write about it, talk about it, hang it up on your wall but most importantly, do something about it.
That goal isn't going to achieve itself, it is all YOU.

6. Kill the quitter instinct
This is the instinct that says, you've had enough.
It's the instinct that says you've given it your best shot. You can stand down. You can back off. You can take a knee.

6B.
Do not listen, that instinct is a liar, and wants to bring you down.
That is the instinct you need to push back and smash into the ground. Do not take the easy way out, do not give up based on instinct.
Train it to say go, get up, fight on!

7. Take advantage of stress
There have been many warriors who have been in very stressful situations, faced evil, and death. Gettysburg, Vicksburg or the Battle of the Bulge.

7B.
If you can't control something, embrace it.
Detach yourself.
How can you look at it a different way, how can you see it in a way that you can actually take advantage of it?
When it comes to stress. Don't fight it. Turn it on itself and use it.

8. Just do it
There is a reason it's Nike's slogan.
We tend to push things off. I don't want to do it now, I'll get to it later. PROCRASTINATION.
The soldier, Jody, wouldn't accept that answer.
Jocko doesn't self-talk, he just DOES IT.

If you're afraid of fighting & altercations, go train in jiu-jitsu.
If you're afraid of heights, work on rock climbing.
If you're afraid of water, time to swim.
Mitigate the risk, ease yourself in, and go for it.
Eventually, you will overcome that fear.

This applies to anything you want to learn or a habit you're trying to incorporate. You have to practice it every day to build the habit.
