1. Define what mental toughness means for you.
- going one month without missing a workout
- going one week without eating processed or packaged food
- delivering your work ahead of schedule for two days in a row
- meditating every morning this week
- Whatever it is, be clear about what you’re going after. Mental toughness is an abstract quality, but in the real world it’s tied to concrete actions. You can’t magically think your way to becoming mentally tough, you prove it to yourself by doing something in real life.
2. Mental toughness is built through small physical wins. Choose to do the tenth rep when it would be easier to just do nine. Choose to create when it would be easier to consume. Choose to ask the extra question when it would be easier to accept. Prove to yourself — in a thousand tiny ways — that you have enough guts to get in the ring and do battle with life.
3. Mental toughness is about your habits, not your motivation.
It’s about building the daily habits that allow you to stick to a schedule and overcome challenges and distractions over and over and over again.
Mental toughness comes down to your habits. It’s about doing the things you know you’re supposed to do on a more consistent basis. It’s about your dedication to daily practice and your ability to stick to a schedule.
