Review. Reset. Recommit.
You’ve made it through the first week.
Not by hype.
Not by motivation.
But by structure.
Day 7 is not about pushing harder.
It’s about locking in what works and preparing for what’s next.
This is where momentum turns into a system.
⸻
Why Review Matters
Most people rush forward without ever looking back.
They:
• don’t notice progress
• don’t correct mistakes
• don’t reinforce wins
Warriors pause to evaluate, not to judge.
Review is how you:
• keep what works
• fix what doesn’t
• prevent burnout
• strengthen discipline
⸻
The Rule for Day 7
You don’t move into Week 2 without reviewing Week 1.
No skipping this step.
Reflection is part of execution.
⸻
Your Day 7 Challenge: Weekly After-Action Review
Open your Warrior Log and answer these questions honestly.
1. What Did I Do Right This Week?
• When did I show up even when I didn’t want to?
• What habits felt easier by Day 5 or 6?
Write it down. This is proof.
⸻
2. What Created Resistance?
• Where did I hesitate?
• When did I negotiate?
• What friction still exists?
No excuses. Just data.
⸻
3. What One Habit Gets Locked In for Week 2?
Choose one habit to protect:
• movement
• writing
• planning
• recovery
• learning
Write:
For Week 2, this habit is non-negotiable.
⸻
4. What Is One Small Upgrade?
Don’t overhaul everything.
Just one improvement:
• earlier start time
• clearer plan
• better preparation
• fewer distractions
Small upgrades compound.
⸻
Why This Works
Discipline isn’t about intensity.
It’s about awareness + adjustment.
When you review:
• confidence increases
• clarity improves
• consistency becomes natural
You stop drifting.
You start operating.
⸻
The Standard
You don’t quit after Week 1.
You don’t restart every Monday.
You refine.
That’s what disciplined people do.
⸻
Remember This
Momentum is fragile without reflection.
Reflection turns effort into progress.
Review the week.
Reset the system.
Recommit to the mission.
