Happy Saturday Rebels
Easter is just a day away. What better time to reflect.
I told you all we had a new challenge coming. Well here it is.
30-Day Self-Reflection Challenge
Letâs get stronger on the inside while we get stronger on the outside. This 30-day challenge will help you build better mental toughness and self-awareness â just like we build our legs and lungs on the ruck.
How it works:
⢠Takes 10â15 minutes per day
⢠Do it every day for 30 days
⢠Use a notebook or your phone notes
Daily work (Every single day)
Every evening, answer these 3 questions:
1. What went well today? (A good ruck, strong effort, hitting your pace, feeling tough â anything positive)
2. What challenged me today, and how did I respond? (Heavy pack, bad weather, wanting to quit, soreness, bad mood â how did you handle it?)
3. What is one thing I learned about myself today? (Even something small â âI push harder when others are watchingâ or âI make excuses when Iâm tiredâ)
Weekly Deep Takes (Do these on Days 7, 14, 21, and 28)
Take a little extra time on these days:
Week 1 â Who I Am
⢠Who am I when no one is watching on the trail or in gym?
⢠What are my top 5 values? (Example: discipline, toughness, family, growth, respect)
⢠Where am I not living up to those values?
Week 2 â My Habits
⢠Looking back at my daily notes, what patterns do I see?
⢠Which habits help my work, fitness , life and which ones hurt it?
⢠What is ONE habit I want to change?
Week 3 â People & Team
⢠How do I show up for my buddies?
⢠Where do I need better boundaries or better attitude?
⢠Who in the club (or in my life) pushes me to be better?
Week 4 â Where Iâm Going
⢠What would the strong, 80-year-old version of me be proud Iâm doing right now?
⢠If I could train any way I wanted, how would I ruck and live?
⢠What is the ONE thing Iâm committing to improve next month?
Quick Tips for you Rebels
⢠Keep it honest â no sugarcoating. Mental toughness starts with truth.
⢠Miss a day? Just pick up the next day. No guilt.
⢠On Day 30, read everything you wrote and celebrate how far youâve come.
This challenge will make you mentally sharper and tougher â exactly what we want in the ruck club.
Letâs do this together.
Whoâs in?
