Do Hard Shit >> Stick With It >> Get a Result

Hey Team - 

At this moment, I'm 65 hours into a 72 hour fast.

•  "What The Fuck is Nick up to?"

• "He's out of his mind!"

• "Last week he sat in frigid water and now he's starving himself"

I'm guessing one of those thoughts, or something similar just crossed your mind.

Want to know how I know that??  

It's because my Lesser Self was fighting with me when I made decisions to improve my overall health and wellbeing.  He told me those same things.

Mind
Body
Business
Relationships 

Fundamentally ... 

Without a strong Mind and Body .. you can throw out having a profitable business.

Without a strong Mind and Body .. you can for sure throw out the notion of having/maintaining any meaningful relationships.

A few weeks ago, I cracked open Fletcher's Code of the Heroic Self that I've referenced so many times before .. and found what I needed on pages 42-43. 

Transformative Results .. that's what I needed. 

To achieve a Transformative Result .. you just need to follow 3 Steps:

Step 1 .. Do Hard Shit
Step 2 .. Stick With It
Step 3 .. Get a Result

"Getting the Transformative Result is one of the simplest things on Earth to achieve.  "Everything you want in life can be had, if ...  you just stop quitting on yourself."<<<< 

Anyone can psych themselves into Doing Hard Shit once.  The real test is in remembering Step 2 of the process and doing that Hard Shit long enough to achieve the desired Result. 

I'm 2 1/2 weeks into a 12 week plan that started on Nov 20th and ends on Feb 11th to begin to achieve a Transformative Result and am already beginning to see changes. 

The COLD has made me more resilient .. for sure strengthen Mind and Body. 

Funny thing .. as I mentioned in my previous message .. I didn't think I could last more than 60 seconds in a cold plunge .. yet this morning when I started the timer on my watch and stepped into my plunge, I was looking forward to the 4 minutes and used that time to quiet my mind and focus on my breathing. What a rush! 

And .. fasting has shown me that a majority of the time, my cravings are more in my head than in my body.   

Now that I'm nearing the end of my 72 hour fast, I reflect on the last 3 days and feel rejuvenated and refreshed and focused. 

Maybe I'll be staying in the cold for 5-6 minutes and extending my fast to 96 hours. 

That'll be some Hard Shit!
