Jocko Underground: The Cure to Being Overwhelmed, Inadequate, and Afraid.

This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 186, sitting here with Echo Charles. We've got a bunch of very interesting questions from you all, and we will provide answers in some cases, recommended courses of action in other cases, and maybe just overall guidance. Yeah. That's where we're at. Helpful guidance.

Yes, indeed. All right, first question. Good evening. I listen to your podcast a lot and it helps me stay disciplined in many areas of my life. In my in my mid-twenties and after starting to work out consistently for the first time in seven years, I decided to increase the plank time I was doing by 10 seconds after about a week and a half.

So plank is that, you know, when you go on your elbows, your feet, you know, you're rigid. Anyway, you time yourself, it's a thing. Uh so for week and app, okay, the first time I tried this, I found myself engaging in all this negative self-talk, like, wow, congratulations sarcastically. You're now 10 seconds of flanking less pathetic than you were a week ago. My question is, why can some of us struggle so hard to be happy with growth and acknowledge when we are acting with discipline and commitment in other ways as well?
