Part 5/8:
To prepare for the Leadville race, Goggins committed everything to the training required, eschewing rest days in favor of mental preparation. He explored the idea of self-talk audits, a practical tool that encourages individuals to listen to their inner dialogue during moments of weakness.
One key exercise involved recording his feelings of wanting to take a day off. Listening back, Goggins faced the weak excuses he had been telling himself, stripping away any misconceptions about needing comfort. This practice helped him redirect his mindset towards discipline and resilience. Goggins advises others to replicate this self-examination, listening to their complaints to confront and ultimately silence their inner doubters.
