The script — as said out loud
1010 Habits to Get disgustingly hard to kill, but they get progressively more niche Roll a wooden pin down your shin until the nerve stops flinching. Muay Thai fighters do this for months before they ever kick a bag bridge on your neck for 60 seconds. Twice a week, walk barefoot across gravel for 30 seconds without changing your stride. Bear hug a sandbag against your chest and walk until your forearms give before your legs do, punch a wooden post at low intensity until your knuckles callous over slowly submerged in an ice bath, and slow your breathing before the shivering starts. Arm Wrestle someone stronger than you on purpose and study exactly how you lost and get so disgustingly hard to kill. That pain stops being information your body reacts to.
