A 75 Day Mental Toughness Challenge
Recently, I came to the realization that I am mentally soft.
I have disproportionately let my feelings drive my actions. And I’ve relied on “perfect circumstances” and external stimulation to drive positive behavior.
For example, I cannot remember a morning in the last three years when I replied to client emails without first pouring a cup of coffee.
But I don’t want to rely on anything external or material.
And to jumpstart my move in that direction, I will be embarking on Andy Frisella’s 75HARD challenge.
For the next seventy-five days I will:
- Workout twice per day
- Perfectly execute my nutrition plan
- Read 10 pages per day
- Drink at least 1 gallon of water per day
- Take a progress picture every day
You can learn more about my specific workout and nutrition plan in this video.
The purpose of this challenge is to build mental toughness.
Note: this is NOT a challenge built to optimally craft my physique. In fact, for many years and to this day I care very little about having a “perfect” physique.
But I do expect this challenge to help me rediscover and further cultivate certain traits.
I am grateful to my client and friend Danny (who made an INSANE transformation) for bringing 75HARD to my attention.
I am also grateful to Andy for creating the concept (more info in his podcast here); Andy’s description of the challenge and its purpose spoke to me.
Alright… It has been too long and I’ve missed you guys.
You can follow my 75HARD challenge on my instagram @mikevacanti.
And expect more on this website soon.
Wishing you well,
Mike
