Mark here. Here’s what we have in store for this week…
WHAT I’M WRITING ABOUT
Visualization: Your Success Blueprint
Visualization is more than just a mental exercise; it’s your success blueprint. By vividly picturing your goals and outcomes, you program your subconscious to align with your ambitions. This alignment provides a mental map for decision-making, helping you sidestep obstacles and distractions on your path.
In my new book, Uncommon, I delve into the power of mental clarity and intentional focus for peak performance. Visualization is critical here—it’s not merely about seeing success but embedding it into your mental framework. This strengthens your resolve and sharpens your direction.
Being a strong leader takes protecting and supporting your mental health. Your mind influences your body, so regularly visualizing success cultivates resilience and sharpens your focus. It transforms your goals into a driving force behind your actions and boosts your confidence by assuring you that your mental well-being is within your control.
Integrate visualization into your routine like a set of burpees in your daily workout. Embrace this practice fully and observe how it transforms your path. By consistently crafting and revisiting a vivid mental image of your goals, you’ll turn your potential into tangible reality.
“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -Saint Francis of Assisi

Podcast Highlights:
In the latest episode of The Mark Divine Show, I chatted with Mo about the pivotal role mindset plays in peak performance. Mo argues that “the only thing that will limit your success is your mind and that your body can be prepared for any challenge.” We also covered his holistic training approach, which balances physical exercise with nutrition, recovery, and mental conditioning. Mo’s unconventional methods, including unstable loads and rucking, aim to enhance functional fitness. Additionally, we discussed metabolic flexibility and the benefits of a modified paleo or animal-based diet for optimizing energy and overall health. Tune in for valuable insights to boost your performance and transform your training!
Since I started working with our new Brute Force sandbags, I’ve been rekindling my passion for unstable weight training, and it’s been truly inspiring. Since my BUD/S days, this kind of training has been a cornerstone of my routine. There’s something profoundly satisfying about wrestling with these unpredictable loads. They force you to engage your muscles and your mind, pushing you to balance and stabilize in ways that mirror real-life challenges. It’s a powerful reminder of how far we can push ourselves when we embrace the discomfort.
PRACTICE OR HABIT TO TRY
Unstable Load Sandbag Squats: Challenge yourself this week with unstable load training by incorporating Sandbag Squats into your routine. Start by preparing a sandbag using a sturdy duffel bag or an old backpack filled with sand or rice. Secure the bag tightly to prevent spillage. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and carefully lift the sandbag to shoulder height, holding it with both hands. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine as you lower into a squat. Perform 3 sets of 5-10 squats, resting briefly between sets. To increase the challenge, try using a bag with uneven weight distribution or varying your grip. This exercise enhances stability, engages your core, and improves functional strength by forcing your stabilizing muscles to work harder. Adding this practice to your routine will boost your balance and overall strength.
