US Navy SEAL Jocko Willink on How to Get Through Rough Times

“It’s easy to feel beaten when you’re faced with all those issues and those problems. That doesn’t mean give up. In fact, it means the opposite. It means it’s time for you to fight harder. To dig in. It means it’s time for you to go on the warpath. And that starts with one of the fundamental laws of combat leadership—prioritize and execute.”

How do you choose to face the rough times life throws at you? How have you found you can let them raise you up? If you’re struggling right now, how could you “prioritize and execute” so you can get upwards momentum?

QUESTION: Love your website. Awesome stuff. Got any audios or podcasts I can listen to at the gym or during my commute?

ANSWER: Yes; we have a whole library of SEALGrinderPT Audios. You can check them out here.

QUESTION: I’m coming out of a long illness and I’m almost totally out of shape. Do you have a workout I could do to get me slowly back to feeling like I can begin training again?

ANSWER: Yes; Try This Workout: 100 Push-ups a Day. That should challenge you. Try working them in with easy rucks with light weight or just walks. The key is to get momentum going again and not set yourself back.
