The script — as said out loud
10 out of 10 habits to get annoyingly hard to kill, but they progressively get more niche Condition your grip by opening and closing your hands inside a bucket of dry rice. Special forces use it to rebuild hand strength after injury. Dead Hang until your hands physically fail, not until your forearms burn. Drag your knuckles across rough concrete once a week to build hand density. Sit in a sauna fully clothed until the discomfort stops being about heat. Train your pain tolerance by pressing into discomfort and breathing instead of pulling away. Crawl on your elbows across 30 meters of rough ground once a week. It's how soldiers train to move under fire without burning out their shoulders. Sit in complete darkness and silence for 20 minutes without moving. Special forces use sensory deprivation to train the nervous system to stay calm when input disappears and get so hard to kill that your body starts solving problems before your brain even notices them.
