1. Cold Showers

It just won’t happen. You have to work up to it and slowly build your mental

Try it… You’ll see.

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.

Have a short event where you complete a certain set of mentally challenging activities every day.

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.

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?
