And it’s exactly how it sounds.
toughness is to meditate.
Whether it’s cigarettes, candy, pot, alcohol, or porn, pick a vice that you use everyday, and commit to giving it up for a short period of time.
Here are a few ideas to get you started .
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.
If you try to do too much too soon, you will burn out and quit EVERY single time.

While I don’t recommend giving up sleep for a week and doing thousands of pushups (unless you have a thing for broken bones and screwed up joints), I challenge you to create your own Hell Week.
