Completely agree that the gym can help train mental endurance. I often make the analogy to running for training creative endurance too, you get a much better understanding of when you’re just tired vs actually HAVE to stop.

Hope you’re enjoying the book!

Loving the read so far! It really brings me back to my own chats with the crypto bros in my life who were talking about coins etc in 2021 but I was so clueless as to what was going on.

Kettle bell swings brings back trauma for me - I'm always sore the next day! I like the emphasis on just doing 1 more rep - that feels do-able

Your point about how you not only train your physical, but also your mental resilience reminds me of the reason I take cold showers. Yes, there are health benefits, but I do it for the early morning 'win'.

out of curiosity...... do the cold showers ever get easier?

Yes and no… I look forward to it now but the moment I turn on the faucet never gets less startling. Also, summers are a joke.
