Discover how to build mental resilience by adopting five powerful habits drawn from warriors like Jocko Willink, Miyamoto Musashi, and David Goggins. In this episode, we explore the strength of discipline over motivation, the value of voluntary hardship, and the role of self-reflection through tools like journaling and Naikan. Learn how digital detoxes and strategic disconnection can sharpen your focus, and why community support—or disciplined solitude, builds long-term grit. Whether you’re training your body or your mind, these foundational habits will help you forge unshakable mental armor and thrive in a world that demands clarity, strength, and resilience.
