Today's book 10 Minute Toughness by Jason Selk. A practical performance boosting guide that shows how to build mental toughness, confidence and focus in just 10 minutes a day. Mental toughness is one of my favorite subjects. Here's your one minute summary. Mental training is physical training for your mind. Just like the gym builds your body, daily reps build resilience. Confidence is earned through preparation. Self trust grows when you rehearse success, not just hope for it. The mental workout works. Selk's five part routine, centering, Breath, Identity Statement, Goal Setting, Visualization and self Talk delivers results. You want to control what you can focus on effort, attitude and preparation. Let go of what you can't influence and mental toughness is a habit. Build it proactively, not just when things get tough. You have 10 minutes. Use them to train your mind. What will you focus on today.
