Motivation fades. Confidence lies.

But a bravery streak? A streak is powerful.

You don’t need to wait for bravery to show up - you need to build it.

Introducing the Bravery Streak:

A daily habit of doing one uncomfortable, courageous thing - every day.

It’s not motivational.
It’s mechanical.

What is the Bravery Streak?

It’s simple:
One brave action. Every day. No exceptions.

That might look like:

• Making the hard phone call
• Saying no to a wrong-fit client
• Hitting publish on the thing you’ve been avoiding
• Finally raising your prices
• Owning your opinion in a meeting

It’s not about grand gestures. It’s about building daily discomfort tolerance.

Why It Works

Courage is built in reps - just like fitness.

Each time you stretch into discomfort, you:

• Rewire your fear response
• Strengthen your self-concept
• Build proof that you are brave

It compounds fast.

How to Start Your Bravery Streak

1. Set your minimum
   Pick a threshold that’s doable but real. 30 seconds of bravery is enough - if it stretches you.
2. Track it
   Print a calendar. Start a note. Add a sticky on the wall. Just don’t break the chain.
3. Reset without guilt
   If you miss a day, restart. No shame. Streaks aren’t about perfection - they’re about patterning.

What Happens Next

• After 3 days: You feel a little more alive
• After 10 days: Fear loses some of its grip
• After 30 days: You stop flinching
• After 90? You operate on a completely new level

Not motivational.
Just mechanical.
Just brave.
