If you want to get mentally tougher, start by meditating for only 3 minutes a day.

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

So how do you cultivate mental

toughness is to wake up earlier.

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.

But anytime you’re doing an exercise where you can safely push yourself, go for just ONE more rep than you’re comfortable doing.

Another great way to boost your mental

Sitting down for 5–30 minutes and doing NOTHING is way harder than it sounds.

If you are seriously wanting to give up a vice (like smoking or drinking), you’ll want to throw away anything that reminds you of it.
