And setting myself up for challenges like this

really allows me to kind of develop my own mental toughness and makes me a lot more grateful for the things that I do have in my life because it gives me that reference point of when you're suffering and at your lowest points that, you know, I love the...

the carol young quote that your roots need to go down to hell if you want your branches to reach up to heaven and that's kind of how i feel when i do these challenges that when you hit those low points and when life really feels like it's fucking knocking you down either because you've made the choice to enter a challenge such as this or you've just decided to get up a few hours earlier or an hour earlier in the morning or you've decided to go to the gym even though you hate working out it's building up that mental toughness and giving you that little bit of

Ironically, I recorded it on a Fitbit

And there'll be a couple of videos going out of my time in the Arctic Circle.

And I recorded my sleep and my activity on a Fitbit for the five days that I was out there.
