4. Meditate

Leave a bowl of candy on the table. Leave an open pack of cigarettes in your office. Go to an, *ahem* “gentlemanly” website and leave it open in a minimized browser.

And you’ll be amazed by the hidden strength your body has.

Challenge yourself and you’ll be amazed by the results.

Add 1–2 minutes each week and, overtime, not only will you be mentally tougher, but you’ll be more present, less stressed, and more productive in your everyday life.

Don’t give up quality sleep to do this.

The same way you get physically stronger…

Do 11 pullups instead of 10.

Start small in 10–15 minute increments and eventually, you’ll be waking up at 4:30 a.m. like a Navy SEAL.
