I was on that cycle of wanting to put myself together again after consuming a bit of videos and podcasts of athletes and entrepreneurs. Not many things can beat discipline and workout in terms of becoming your best self.
After discovering Nile Wilson last week and seeing how proud he was in 2018 Commonwealth Games, I stumbled upon Andy Frisella’s podcast about his free #75HARD program.
I have heard of 75 HARD program for a few times in 2021 but have been thinking the program is insane. I still think it is kind of insane. But Frisella interviewed a 21-year-old girl who finished the program and shared her thoughts on the program. I am intrigued.
Frisella disclaimed that the program is not a fitness program but one that builds your mental toughness.
5 daily tasks if you try 75 HARD program:
Follow a structured diet
Two 45-minute workouts (1 must be outside)
Drink a gallon of water
Read 10 pages of a non-fiction book
Take a progress picture
If you want to try the program, you can learn more here.
Praise the rain; the seagull dive
The curl of plant, the raven talk—
Praise the hurt, the house slack
The stand of trees, the dignity—
Praise the dark, the moon cradle
The sky fall, the bear sleep—
Praise the mist, the warrior name
The earth eclipse, the fired leap—
Praise the backwards, upward sky
The baby cry, the spirit food—
Praise canoe, the fish rush
The hole for frog, the upside-down—
Praise the day, the cloud cup
The mind flat, forget it all—
Praise crazy. Praise sad.
Praise the path on which we're led.
Praise the roads on earth and water.
Praise the eater and the eaten.
Praise beginnings; praise the end.
Praise the song and praise the singer.
Praise the rain; it brings more rain.
Praise the rain; it brings more rain.
