In Navy SEAL training, there’s a brutal exercise called drownproofing. Your hands and feet are bound, you’re dropped into deep water and told to survive for five minutes. The harder you fight, the faster you sink. The key to surviving is surrendering the urge to swim to the top. In this episode, we explore what drownproofing can teach us about letting go of control and why the instinct to fight through every struggle often keeps you stuck.
