You motivate you
Do you always train with music? Because it motivates you to push that little bit harder, go that little bit faster, or just a little further?
Remove the extrinsic motivator for a second, and find out what’s really going on in your head. Turn down the noise. We like to enforce the occasional Quiet Time in some of our programming.
Why?
It’s called Quiet Time for a reason. Do not bring music, do not bring a friend, do not go to a crowded gym or area. Get inside your own head, be at peace with the silence and learn to motivate and push yourself when it is only you.
How hard can you really go when no one is watching? How disciplined are you to complete the work you’ve prescribed yourself? Why are you really doing this? You can learn a lot about yourself, when you learn what it means to be at peace in your own company. Because it’s easy to slow down or quit when it’s just you.
Preferably find somewhere in nature, with rolling hills or a good backdrop, where there’s no one around but you. Let your mind wander as you do.
You can train yourself physically and mentally at the same time, you’ve just got to go out and actually do it.

Weak leadership is a cancer.
This risk adverse approach is a result of fearful and weak leadership, where policy and planning are driven by fear their of public opinion courtesy of a rotten mainstream media platform. Any organisation that has any form of conflict at its pointy end should be driven to support the end-user. None deserve a frail egocentric leader who is fearful of answering some difficult questions, all of which have very simple answers.
This weakness from policy makers and commanders spreads like a cancer and infects every single individual below them...
Little key, heavy door
The consistent application of basic training principles is the little key. The heavy door is whatever your reason is for training the first place. Every locked door opens easily with the right key. You can hard-knock the bastard, breach your way through and get what you need. But in terms of longevity, that door is cactus.
