I experience these things most obviously during martial arts training. But they’re enhanced in other areas as well from what I can tell.
And there’s a stronger drive due to Spartan to exorcise the weak mentality that allowed me to become soft, literally and figuratively.
For example, while most everyone I talked to today gave me reasons why I shouldn’t start over from day 1 of this 75 day program I’m doing – because I unintentionally broke a rule – I instantly recognized the types of justifications and excuse making I’ve used in the past to let myself off the accountability hook – but those things weren’t even a consideration this time, regardless of what anyone said. In fact, it was an easy decision to start over this morning (after a healthy few minutes of cussing).
Iron will in full effect today.
