My spiritual prescription for addictions includes six choices: – Choose to Be Alive – Choose to Believe – Choose to Change – Choose to Be Different – Choose to Exercise – Choose to Be Free

They had a Plan B.

For me, going through SEAL training, I had a deep emotional reason as to why I wanted to be a Navy SEAL, and that reason, for me, was I had nothing left. And also, there was no Plan B.

Goal setting — eat the elephant one bite at a time.

Mental visualization: visualize yourself achieving that goal. Trick your mind into believing that you’ve already finished a run.

Third pillar, positive self talk. It’s just that consistent positive self talk throughout the training day. That helps tremendously, and something they taught us to keep us from breaking.

Arousal control is just figuring out a way to calm yourself down. For everybody it’s different. For some people, it’s a mantra, for some people it’s a breathing technique. For some people it’s listening to music or humming music to themselves. For some people it’s closing their eyes and meditating. I calm myself down by praying. Prayer helps me tremendously.
