It’s funny to me how often people ignore this principle in their lives.
Start out small with only 10–30 seconds after your normal shower.
Put up with a cold winter afternoon with no heat.
So apply these strategies slowly. Take small steps and challenge yourself to get 1% tougher every day. After a year has gone by, you’ll be 365% tougher than you were the previous year.
