Mental Calluses

Our mind & body are forever connected. If one starts to falter, the whole thing breaks down.

As I get older, I’m fascinated by how much our mind can lead our body to great heights. The right attitude combined with the right system? A force multiplier.

But to foster the mind, I’m realizing it takes similar intention too. When you lift, your hands start to develop calluses that thicken to keep your hands strong. It can apply to the mind too.

How? If we can expose ourselves to small discomfort (e.g., long-form reads, deeper conversations, even boredom), we can slowly improve the resilience of our mind.

Exercise for the brain is as important as exercise for the body! 🧠
