Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. Next up: Don't adopt others' knee-jerk assessments. McRaven talked about being in SEAL training and reflecting on a crew of physically small classmates, none of whom was more than five-feet-five. SEAL training was a great equalizer.
This is probably the part of military training that people who've never gone through military training think of--the part they've seen in the movies where sadistic drill instructors put you through hell. The student had to run, fully clothed into the surfzone and then, wet from head to toe, roll around on the beach until every part of your body was covered with sand.
You stayed in that uniform the rest of the day--cold, wet and sandy. The point of that training? To learn that when you're uncomfortable and discouraged, sometimes you just have to suck it up and get through it. Another McRaven story. The record for going through the SEAL obstacle course in the fastest time had stood for years. One of the trickiest parts was to maneuver yourself safely but quickly into a rope obstacle known as the slide for life.
The record seemed unbeatable, until one day, a student decided to go down the slide for life--head first. Instead of swinging his body underneath the rope and inching his way down, he bravely mounted the TOP of the rope and thrust himself forward. It was a dangerous move--seemingly foolish, and fraught with risk. Failure could mean injury and being dropped from the training. Without hesitation--the student slid down the rope--perilously fast, instead of several minutes, it only took him half that time and by the end of the course he had broken the record.
The point? It's the same in business and in any facet of life. Sometimes if you want to excel, you simply have to accept the risks and dive in anyway. There's a part of their training when they have to swim in the waters off of San Clemente, California, which they are told is a breeding ground for sharks. But, you are also taught that if a shark begins to circle your position--stand your ground. Do not swim away. Do not act afraid.
The PT, runs and swims do not get easier -- in fact, you will be in your best shape ever during third phase and able to run miles, swim miles and ruck 20 miles on San Clemente Island. Just the basics is over.
You will learn and master the basic insertion methods used by SEALs and conduct training missions. There is also a mix of many hours of classroom training where you learn about intelligence gathering, designing missions and moving together as a team from insertion to extraction of a mission.
You will continue to learn something new each day of your career, so stay in "receive mode" and listen to those who have been there and done that. Send your fitness questions to stew stewsmith.
