Join mine to learn how it\u2019s done: https:\/\/better.biz\/newsletter In this episode, I break down how to build mental toughness\u2014not by waiting for life to throw you hard times, but by deliberately creating them through training. The tool I\u2019ve used for over a decade is called Meet Yourself Saturday\u2014a weekly workout designed to confront the weakest version of yourself and strengthen the voice that pushes you forward. Mental toughness isn\u2019t about never wanting to quit\u2014it\u2019s about changing the conversation in your head when you do. \ud83d\udca1 Key Takeaways:  Mental toughness is built by controlling the conversation in your mind. Meet Yourself Saturday is a weekly hard workout designed to expose your inner quitter\u2014and overcome it. The Murph workout (1 mile run \u2192 100 pull-ups \u2192 200 push-ups \u2192 300 squats \u2192 1 mile run with a 20 lb vest) is one of the best mental toughness builders. True grit comes from repetition\u2014doing this every week for years, not days.
