Snuggle up everyone, it's story time. I’ve always loved water. Jumping into it. Swimming in it. Just being near it. In New Zealand we have this beautiful, slightly unhinged tradition called bombing - jumping into water in a way that creates the biggest splash possible. Not graceful. Not elegant. The goal is chaos. Noise. Water everywhere. The other day I was down at the waterfront at a local swimming-and-jumping spot. It’s one of those places where there are always a few locals who are elite bombers. Huge splashes. Professional commitment. Years of aquatic nonsense under their belts. I wanted to bomb. But then the old fear showed up. What if my splash is tiny? It will be tiny What if people laugh? What if I do this big dramatic leap… and it’s basically a sad puddle? I stood there overthinking the physics of water displacement like my integrity depended on it... Then, I called - bullshit Something clicked from the social confidence challenge Instead of trying to avoid people laughing at me, I reframed it. “What if this is rejection therapy?” “How many rejections can I get?” “How many people can laugh at me today?” Suddenly it wasn’t about the splash anymore. It was about collecting laughs. So I jumped. Bombed. Jumped again. Bombed again. Rather than laughing, people started giving me tips. Sure their were some laughs. But from me, no hesitation. No build-up. Just over and over. Big ones. Awkward ones. Questionable ones. Absolute chaos. And here’s the weird thing. Somewhere along the way, my splash got… better. Not only that - the big splash locals started nodding. Smiling. One even threw out a compliment or a clap. Who knew? Possibly Dan. Now I bomb freely. Joyfully. With confidence. And if someone laughs? Perfect. Ill try to drop some vids at some stage. There is a local council run bomb competition. I'm entering.

Confidence isn’t a feeling - it's a behaviour. For most of you, being courageously socially will unlock bravery and integrity in all other areas of life. If you want 2026 to be great, you must accept the trade-off: you must initiate and endure emotionally uncomfortable social interactions. Choose ONE (that's uncomfortable but not terrifying): - Express a preference you usually suppress - Set a boundary to respect yourself - Initiate a conversation with someone new - Say “no” without justifying your reason Post below: What you did and how you feel about yourself having done it. P.S. The Boundaries and Confrontations course is a masterclass in these skills https://www.skool.com/brojo-the-integrity-army-6491/classroom/7bd26d27

The functioning of your body is the foundation of everything else. Neglect it at your peril. We’re not aiming for perfect, we’re aiming for sustainable. Your task: Define: - Exercise frequency + type - 3–5 simple eating rules This is your bare minimum, even on bad weeks when you’re sick, tired and depressed. Post below: Share your baseline (again, not your ideal).

If your day has no structure, your emotions will make all your decisions. We know how that goes! Discipline is doing what you know you should do, instead of doing what you feel like doing right now. Your task: Design: - A minimum viable morning routine (10–30 mins) - A simple shutdown routine at night (The Morning Routine course in the Classroom will help with this). Include: - One physical action, e.g. exercise in morn, stretching at night - One mental action, e.g. meditation in morn, journaling at night - One integrity action (something you usually avoid), e.g. cold shower in morn, quality time with kids at night Post below: Your morning routine plan... and the thing most likely to derail it.

This isn’t about guilt, it's about honesty and self respect. Your task: Reflect on last year and write three short lists: 1. Key situations or areas of life where I consistently acted with integrity 2. Memorable moments where I betrayed myself 3. Patterns I see repeating that are worth doing something about (i.e. keep or change) This isn't about judging yourself, it's about identifying gaps in your integrity that require attention. Post below: Share one uncomfortable insight you noticed about yourself. Don't defend it, or make excuses for it, or beat yourself up over it. Just observe and identify.
