This exercise will teach you to keep going even when things are hard and, if applied regularly, will help you become mentally tougher than any other person you know.
Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
