How do I become mentally strong?

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.

Anytime you’re training in the gym, challenge yourself, once per workout, to do just “One more rep”.
