Life will beat, break, and try to defeat you, so it is best to prepare for when she comes swinging. I've been taking only cold showers since 1999. When I found myself in a coma after a rough crash in a pro cycling race in 2014 I knew that the tenacity I had instilled in myself would be a crucial mental aid in the fight that lay ahead of me. By voluntarily putting myself in the pain cave via Ironman triathlons, endurance sport, and taking only freezing cold showers I was somehow more comfortable once in the pain cave against my will. The mental resiliency I had invested in myself was of paramount importance as I clawed my way from a coma back into fitness, making a return to racing on the world stage. It is best store a few punches up your sleeve in the form of mental toughness that way when life comes swinging you can throw a few haymakers back. She might even respect you for it and move on to an easier target.
