Here’s one thing they were taught from the beginning…
The Law of Reverse (how to get what you want by letting yourself go):
In Navy SEAL training, there’s a thing called Drown Proofing.
The instructors tie your hands and feet… And they throw you into a 9-foot pool.
The objective is to survive for 5 minutes.
Some panic and need to be taken out.
There have even been some who have died.
But many pass, because they know the secrets behind the test:
The first: the more you try to keep your head above water:
the more likely you are to sink. With hands and feet tied…
It is impossible to stay afloat for 5 minutes.
The second: the more scared you are, the more oxygen you burn.
The paradox is brutal:
The more you try to live, the less likely you are to stay alive.
What you have to do is relax completely and let yourself sink.
When you reach the bottom, get up again to get some air.
Repeat.
