Do you continue when you are sick? Give up for a day? Or give up period?

Yesterday I was laid up by the Covid Vaccine. I felt so sick I could barely do anything. I didn’t want to eat, didn’t want to move, felt horrible.

Before you go side-ways on me for talking about the Vaccine, it’s only relevant because I got mine the day before. Pain in my arm migrated to pain everywhere. It was the “I’m sick” body aches that come with a common cold. I just didn’t want to do anything. Even going downstairs to drink water was work.

But I did it. I continued my 75 Hard Journey even while being sick.

I know it sounds stupid to say, “look at me I did something while I was sick.” Because we all do what we have to do when we are sick. I know when you are sick you still have family and work obligations that you will continue to do. So I just added 75 Hard on top of those normal things.

Pushing through the hard times no matter what is how you continue and do hard things when you have to.

Last year I got the actual Covid-19 and it sucked a lot! I’d suggest you avoid it if at all possible.

But some of the main problems that will land you in the hospital are dehydration and weakness from lack of food. So when I had the Rona I made myself get up every hour and drink water and walk around. I also forced myself to eat something once a day. I had extreme muscle pain and my blood oxygen levels were on the brink of a hospital stay. But I wasn’t going.

On day two of walking around my room every hour, I had to go to the bathroom first and look myself in the mirror to get the motivation to do it. I had to yell at myself like I was a junior Marine failing at his task. But I did it.

On day three of walking around the pain was so bad I would cry in front of the mirror first and then tell myself I could do it. And then did it.

By day four, it started getting better.

The discipline, motivation, and pure grit I learned from 75 Hard let me stay at home and out of the hospital and recover from the Rona.

This program could change your life and maybe even save it. Sooner or later things will happen in life. You will get sick, a family member will get sick, and you will lose someone… We are all mortal and it happens. But if you have built-in a strength of will you will come out the other side. If you choose to try and learn your strength of will at the worst time in your life you may not make it.

Build your strength before you need it. Do a 75 Hard Program and be a better person. Sign up for my 75 Hard free starters guide here.
