It’s simply learning to be comfortable doing things you don’t want to do.

4. Meditate

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.

It’s 7 days of almost no sleep, constant physical exercise, and psychological warfare.

Challenge yourself to do something seemingly impossible for a short amount of time and you will walk away with more mental toughness than you’ve ever had before.
