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.
