It’s funny…

Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.

Another great way to boost your mental

strength?

Here are a few ideas to get you started .

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

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.
