š„5 Steps to Unleash Your Inner Goggins š„
"When you think you're done, you're only 40% into what your body and mind are capable of doing."
āDavid Goggins š§ š„
Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Drained?
This legendary conversation between Andrew Huberman and David Goggins wasnāt about waiting for motivation ā it was about DOMINATING with a relentless mindset. Neuroscience + grit = ROCKET fuel š. Here's what two of the worldās leading motivational experts had to say about rewiring your brain, pushing through the pain, and igniting your āWonāt Quitā momentum.
š This isnāt motivation. This is a method to DOMINATE your day.
1). Action is the Antidote to Apathyā¦
Start Moving. NOW.
Just startāeven the tiniest step triggers dopamine, your brainās motivation molecule š§¬.
ā
Write one word
ā
Do one push-up
ā
Send one message
šÆ Momentum isn't magic. It's motion.
š„Goggins didnāt wait for inspiration to become a SEAL or ultra-runnerāhe moved. Then, he KEPT moving. Every action became fuel. Start small. Stay savage.
š” "Thereās no fucking like hacks, there's no hacks, bro. It's just you against you, you against you.ā - Goggins
2). Embrace the Suck šŖ
True growth happens when you're pushed beyond your comfort zone. That tug of inner resistance? It's your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) kicking ināa part of your brain that notices conflict when things get tough. Every time you choose to embrace discomfortāwhether it's a grueling workout, a challenging conversation, or an irksome taskāyouāre actually training and toughening up that ACC engine. Itās not just effortāitās purposeful exposure to what you dislike, making you mentally stronger every time. š§ šļøāāļø
š Endurance athletes? Bigger ACCs.
š§ Bigger ACC? Greater will to live, resilience, decision-making.
Goggins doesnāt chase paināhe chooses it. He builds power in resistance. You can too.
ā ļø Avoiding discomfort weakens your resolve. Lean in. Do the hard thing, especially when you donāt want to do it!
3). Consistency is King š
Your brain LOVES repetition. Every repeated action wires a stronger neural pathway š§ . Goggins' greatness? Built on relentless, disciplined consistency. Day after day. No excuses.
Start with:
š 10 minutes a day
š 1 habit you donāt skip
š 1 commitment you honor when nobodyās watching
šØ āItās not about intensityāitās about consistently doing things you donāt necessarily enjoy doing.ā āHuberman
4). Rewire Your Identity š§¬
Your actions shape your brain, but your beliefs shape your future.
Every moment of discomfort, every drop of sweat, every push when others stopāthatās identity reprogramming. Thatās YOU becoming unstoppable.
š Don't say āI canātā
ā
Say āThis is who I am now.ā
šļø āBecome the person who does hard things.ā āGoggins
5). Tap Into Relentless Momentum š
This is the ROCKET Fuel.
When it gets tough, go back to your why.
š® Remember your Future Self
šÆ Own your ONE Thing
š Celebrate small changes
š Keep kind intentions through the grind
š Engage with exponential effort
š¤ Transform time with your team
Momentum isnāt speedāitās refusal to stop.
